Visiting The Thoughts Of Yet One More Person

Meanderings of an introverted dancer - a public school teacher with thoughts on music, politics, and life in the hills.

Someone new to think about 2008

Bob Barr. I've just briefly looked at this guy - some things are impressive, others - well, let's just say he isn't the classic libertarian. He's still extremely legalistic. I probably won't be able to vote for him because of his legalistic nature, but I can't vote for McCain because he's openly re-writing history (AKA lying), and I'm still struggling with Obama because he's not talking about what he will do with my issues (education, infrastructure, stopping the fences between us and Mexico, etc etc). He's doing great at simply ignoring these issues - good politically, but lousy for voters who prefer to be informed.

He's right about Waco, but he's way off on marriage and religion in the military. How to deal with this apparent contradiction in honest thinking?

EDIT A fine reader asked me to look into the Green Party nominees for president. I certainly will! In the past the seemed to have a narrow platform, but I will look into anything at this point. I am intrigued by the fact that both the prez and vice prez nominees are women. Very cool.
