Bob Barr’s campaign has recently released a campaign ad for his presidential bid:

Watching the whole video reveals that Barr is nothing more than a typical politician.  Take, for instance, the fact that he uses more than half of this seven minute opportunity to attack his opponents. The rest of the time is spent spewing buzzwords like ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ without giving anything to back those claims up. It seems to remind me of something another candidate has been criticized for doing with the word ‘change’.

He could of used the time to get out the libertarian message by explaining some of his proposals and how they will help fix the country’s problems, but he instead chooses the lesser road and attacks his opponents.  Thanks Bob for your role in turning the LP into another typical political party with your prototypical political blather.  I used to expect better from the Libertarian Party, but not anymore.

Farewell, Party of Principle. 

According to the non-partisan National Taxpayers Union, Presidential candidate and 10-term Congressman Dr. Ron Paul is the only remaining candidate, from either party, that will cut spending.

A recent report by the NTU shows that Paul’s proposals will cut spending by over $150 billion. Paul’s campaign claims that this is a “conservative estimate”, but even as so it is the better than any of the other candidates.

The proposals of current Republican “front-runners” Mitt Romney and John McCain would actually increase spending by $19.5 billion and $6.9 billion. Huckabee who, along with McCain and Romney, calls himself a conservative would increase spending by an astounding $54.2 billion. That does not sound very conservative to me.
