Bob Barr is the best Presidential Candidate of 2008.

First of all I would like to apologize for not providing the quote. I had a quote but went over the character limit so I cut it. Here is the quote: -From- http://www.bobbarr2008.com... -"Every area of federal spending can and should be cut. Entitlements must be reformed and welfare should be cut, including subsidies for business sometimes called corporate welfare. Military outlays should be reduced and pork barrel spending eliminated. Needless, duplicative, and wasteful programs, most of which have no constitutional basis, should be terminated." -http://blog.bobbarr2008.com... Neither McCain or Obama will tackle entitlements head on and neither will do anything to stop growth in the federal budget. Only one candidate will do it and that is Bob Barr. Although I can not give you specifics like you ask (besides Iraq), you must understand that he has given this the greatest light when compared to the other candidates. He is dedicated to this just like Obama is dedicated to bringing change (although he fails to say how he is going to change (just says what is wrong but offers few solutions)) Now he brings up the GDP argument. What you have to see is that the GDP compared to the debt is 70%. What this means is that the USA would have to put OVER a YEAR of product (value) to equal the debt. Essentially, the more debt we have, the more we are out of control of our economy. ===== If everyone ONLY defended themselves, we would never have a violence problem. My opponent thinks that since someone else is a threat, than we need to attack them (to defend ourselves?)… This is a total contradictory statement. He points out that they may be a threat, but there is a difference between being a threat, and making a threat. In the case of Iran, they may pose a threat (because they have nukes) but have yet to say that they are going to kill us WITH these nukes. What does this mean? That it is a time of diplomacy and NOT (John McCain's) FORCE FORCE FORCE! Bob Barr's solution is the best without a doubt. ===== He talks about the economy again and says that Barr is wrong about it. He makes a totally false statement saying that our debt has been higher in the past. That is just not true. The graph he shows you is a PERCENTAGE towards the debt of THAT TIME. So he has shown product towards the debt, NOT what the debt is, and in a time like this, people are not going to be so kind as to just give up what they have (their portion of the GDP). In the Bush years we have had a substantial increase in GDP… it just happens to coincide with the debt. And since my opponent has not brought up any evidence that links the two together, it must be flowed to the PRO side. ===== The reason his name is not out there is not his fault. I bet if we go back 2 years that under 5% would know who Barak Obama and John McCain are. It's one of the biggest injustices in the world as to how third party candidates are treated. For example, did you know that John McCain is SUING Bob Barr to get him off the ballot in Pennsylvania? OR Did you know that it takes 12,000 petitions to get on the ballot in most states which is TWELVE TIMES as many as Republicans and Democrats need? Add this with the media abuse, it seems as if Bob Barr DOESN'T HAVE TIME to "do what you have to" to get on the ballot. He's too busy trying to get his name on the ballot in all of the states. Also, it DOESN'T matter one bit whether he will win or not. This debate argues who is the best candidate, and whether or not he will win, the best candidate is the one that stands for ALL freedoms, and a free market, and a secure economy, and a smaller government… BOB BARR! ===== I will get to this later. ===== We shouldn't be outlawing things that COULD lead to harming people. We should just outlaw the harming of people. Minors can be responsible with alcohol just like adults can be irresponsible with it. When it is abused and leads to harm, THEN punish. BUT DON'T PUNISH THE PEOPLE BY SAYING THEY CAN'T HAVE IT BECAUSE YOU might MISUSE IT. ===== If we are all so unsure about the Georgia situation, then why should we let BOTH Obama and McCain blame Russia for the whole situation. Both are showing signs of warmongering and McCain has said that he is willing to re-initiate the draft with the multiple wars going on. Russia just did the exact same thing to Georgia that we did to Iraq and now WE are criticizing RUSSIA?!?!?!?! ===== WOAH WOAH WOAH… who said that the terrorists are the ones under control of the nukes? Terrorist don't have NEAR the technology to use these nukes. It's more than just pushing a button; it takes PERFECT precision to explode the nuke. It is the government that is making these nukes, they care. ===== The change that Obam a will bring is little to NONE. To get TRUE change, we must vote Libertarian whether they will win or not.
