Most of congress, Bush, McCain, Obama, Pelosi, and our so called friend of the the taxpayer Rep John Kline, joined forces to pass a $700 billion plus bailout for the wallstreet pirates. The American people flooded the phone lines and email boxes to try and stop it. But as usual, they didn't listen. Robbing the taxpayers blind to bailout the elites shows how far out of touch congress is. A quick fix of corporate welfare & socialism is not the answer. The best solution would have been to allow the market to recover on its own, and hold those who created this mess accountable.

According to Zogby's first general election poll of the season, Bob Barr is polling at 6% nationally. This is virtually unheard of for 3rd party candidates. The last competitive 3rd party candidate, Ross Perot, was polling at 7% nationally at this time in 1992. Our two party system is designed to keep out 3rd party candidates, so very few even get noticed. Bob Barr's excellent start is a good sign that Americans want more choices and are getting tired of voting for who they consider to be the lesser of two evils.
