You know how I feel about the Republicrats.  Or sometimes I call them the Democans.  Granted that they get all the media attention, I decided to take the responsibility of bringing to  you Third Party candidates.  Bob Barr will probably be the Libertarian.  I don’t know who the Green person is yet and don’t know if there will even be a Reform candidate.  If so, I’ll bring them too.

Bob Barr’s positions:

Voted for the Patriot Act, but severely regrets it and is now one of its biggest opponents.

One of the four founders of the American Freedom Agenda, an organization that is highly critical of the Bush Administrations’ attack on Freedom and Privacy.  Ron Paul, the guy I was supporting, was one of the other four.

In Congress, Barr was a strong supporter of the War on Drugs, but he’s since changed his stance and considers Drugs a State’s issue, not a Federal issue.  He’s also now a lobbyist for the Marijuana Policy Project, which is an organization for either decriminalization or outright legalization (and taxation) of marijuana.

Is for cutting taxes, for which I give him a huge thumbs up.  You want the economy to take off? Cut taxes.  It worked for JFK.

Is anti-abortion, for which I give a thumbs down.  Abortion is a medical procedure, and something that should be decided by the States, not the Federal government.

Is highly pro-gun, for which I give a thumbs up.

In Congress, it was him who proposed the Pentagon ban the practice of Wicca in the military.  Dumb move, because it’s a violation of the First Amendment.  I haven’t heard if he regrets that or not.

Now is a lobbyist for the ACLU.

Has become a vocal opponent of Bush’s wiretapping.  He said the following:

“What’s wrong with it is several-fold. One, it’s bad policy for our government to be spying on American citizens through the National Security Agency. Secondly, it’s bad to be spying on Americans without court oversight. And thirdly, it’s bad to be spying on Americans apparently in violation of federal laws against doing it without court order.”

Will I vote for him? Don’t know yet.  I don’t like how he has flip-flopped on several key issues.  He is however better on Freedom and Privacy issues than any of the three Republicrat ass clowns still in the race (which isn’t saying much at all).  I will continue to bring information on Third Party candidates since the media won’t.  Someone has to do it.
