Democrats, Republicans, and...Libertarians! Oh, my!

Ok, I'll be honest...I'm tempted to talk about the Going-Down-Hill-ary Clinton camp blaming Obama about Hillary's comment about Robert Kennedy's assassination, blah, blah, blah...But I'm trying to leave her alone, so let's talk Libertarians...

The Libertarians have a candidate now...Bob Barr...Looks pretty respectable and decent. When was the last time we had a president with facial hair though? As a bearer of facial hair, I think it'd be cool, but don't worry, I won't vote for facial hair alone.

So, why, you ask, is Bob and the Libertarians being featured on TWIGI? It doesn't have anything to do with them...it has to do with us, the American people. Bob, and possibly Wayne Allan Root as VP, should have a reasonable shot at the White House. He's a former Republican who criticized Bill Clinton and was one of the prosecutors in Clinton's impeachment. All of that should appeal to fence sitting Republicans who are unhappy with the party.

He's also for getting out of Iraq. He's against same sex marriages, but opposes the Federal Marriage Amendment, so at least he's willing to keep the federal government out of it. He voted for the Patriot Act only AFTER a sunset clause was added making it terminate without a Legislative vote AND regrets voting for the thing at all, and he added pro-civil liberty amendments to Clinton's 1995 Anti-Terrorism Act. He supports repealing the 16th Amendment which gives Congress the power to levy income tax. So he should have some appeal with liberals.

But as the CNN article states, Libertarians haven't been able to pull 400,000 votes. The Libertarians, and possibly some other third parties, should really have a shot...but people seem more inclined to not vote at all than to vote for someone other than a Democrat or Republican. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is twigi.
