choices

Bob Barr has thrown his hat in the presidential race. a former republican turned libertarian has decided to run because he thinks we need more choices, and i couldnt agree more. too bad we stuck in this restrictive two party system. the last libertarian candidate finished behind Nader four years ago with less the one percent of the popular vote.

heres the keys to the article:

If he wins the White House, he said he would immediately freeze discretionary spending in Washington. He also would begin withdrawing troops from Iraq and consider slashing spending at federal agencies such as the departments of education and commerce as well as at overseas military bases.

Barr, 59, quit the Republican Party two years ago, saying he had grown disillusioned with its failure to shrink government and its willingness to scale back civil liberties in fighting terrorism.

I like libertarians on some level, but i will never support a cut to educational spending. if we need any one thing as a country, i would say its a more educated and involved citizenry. the small govt and the utmost respect for personal liberties and rights i like. a lot.
