Repost from Bob Barr Campaign HQ
Once again this evening Barack Obama and John McCain will take center stage. And, once again they will prove what I've been saying for the past month. There isn't a dime's bit of difference between the two.
They will skirt around the issues of liberty and freedom and instead focus their attacks on each other in one round after another of finger pointing. Two weeks ago we were told that the Bush/Obama/McCain Bailout (BOMB) would save our economy and reassure investors. We were told that our retirement plans would recover.
Today the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down for the fifth straight day and losses during this period have been nearly 1,000 points - or 10%. From its peak, the Dow is now down 34%.
Housing values are similarly down. But I'm not trying to depress you!
There is hope. Every day that the BOMB inflicts more damage, the more people realize that they've been bamboozled (again) by their government, and particularly, the Bush Administration.
If you want more of the status quo, more of the same old corrupt politics of the Democrats AND Republicans, do nothing. That's what you are going to get.
If you want meaningful change and a return to fiscal sanity, then Bob Barr is ready to lead our nation out of it economic troubles and into a period of prosperity based on free market principles, less government intervention, lower taxes and more freedom.
