Bob Barr

Never mistake rhetoric for reality. Live your freedom, a wise man told me that is what you need to do.

What, if anything, will be done to rectify the situation suffered by those whose life, liberty and employment have been negatively impacted by the War on Drugs? To those who are still rotting in prison, those unable to secure employment or college scholarships and grants; those whose possessions-land, homes and bank accounts; were confiscated by drug warriors? Do you tell them, "My bad! But now I've seen the light and I want to start with a clean slate!" Who will clean the slate for these people? Who will give them a do-over?

"When I came from Sweden to the U.S. in 1966 with a suitcase, $800 and a degree in Electronics Engineering I was almost a Social Democrat. Over the years I became more conservative, and at one time Rush Limbaugh was on my radio most days. My reading was almost only science and technology, and I felt that other people had their good handle on their specialties.

"It was another big surprise to me that in the field of economics, about 95% of its writers, teachers etc. did not have a good understanding of their subject. . ."

I bring this up because while Barr might've been excused for donating to Larry Craig's campaign prior to his arrest, there can be little justification for his defense of Craig once his proclivities became public knowledge -other than being an ass blanket for the GOP Hypocritical Pervert Brigade. It only makes sense that those people you deem worthy of donations would also be deemed worthy of supporting- I can't think of a single, solitary person who donates their hard-earned money to politicians that have diametrically opposing views.

...and while there are many intelligent people who believe that these special leopards can change their spots, I much prefer to put my efforts and support behind the candidate that has no spots to change.

Your new squeeze, Bob Barr has changed his positions so many times it's a wonder he doesn't suffer from vertigo.

It is time to renew the mission we took up over 30 years ago. America needs freedom. Put your feet on the ground and get it done. Go to Denver and then take freedom home to America.
