Please vote for Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party candidate for president.

Why vote for McCain? He voted for the bailout, just like Obama. And both McCain and Obama voted for US government investment in big commercial banks, which is socialist. This is Socialism, maybe even Communism.

So, we should send a message to both parties that we have decided to vote on principles? It is time to vote on principles. YES, we should!

Only Bob Barr is moral enough and conservative enough to deal with the issue of housing, Wall Street, and the rest of the current mess. He has not taken a cent from Fannie or Freddie or from any of the Wall Street firms that profit from the bailout. And Bob Barr has the support of Rep. Ron Paul, who did so well in the Republican primary debates.

Here’s Bob’s Web site: http://www.bobbarr2008.com/

Here’s a recent press release from Bob (who has the backing of Rep. Ron Paul):

Press Releases › Wall Street Benefits Twice from Bailouts

October 11, 2008 11:36 am EST

Senator John McCain attempted to disguise reality by calling the $700 billion Wall Street bailout a “rescue,” but it’s obvious that the only people he and his colleagues were rescuing were the executives who had made bad investment decisions, as well as the politicians who had pushed increased mortgage lending, irrespective of cost, triggering today’s crisis. Now it turns out that the companies getting bailed out will benefit twice.

Most everyone has seen the story of how executives at AIG partied at a resort after the taxpayers were stuck with the bill for an $85 billion bailout—now being supplemented with another Federal Reserve loan of $37.8 billion. But what’s $440,000, including more than $23,380 for spa services, among friends when the taxpayers are paying?

Normally politicians wouldn’t have any business complaining about the cost of a corporate retreat, but what might be unexceptional for high-flying companies in a booming economy becomes outrageous when taxpayers are getting stuck with the bill. In this case they are paying twice, with the company collecting a new loan because its bottom line is even worse than originally thought.

Loan-two to AIG is small change compared to the extra benefits that Wall Street will receive. Many of the largest firms will be going to the spa, figuratively, at least. You see, someone has to manage all of the securities and other assets that the government plans on buying with taxpayer funds. And who better to manage them than the very companies that bought the bad paper in the first place!

The Treasury Department has requested proposals for asset managers, and according to the Wall Street Journal, the government “wants large, established firms with significant assets to work for the government’s program.” That means managing at least $25 billion, and in some cases at least $100 billion, in private assets. There will be a lot of money in fees—typically 1 percent of the assets managed, which could come to as much as $7 billion a year or more if government purchases go past $700 billion, as is widely expected.

Wall Street is looking forward to milking this latest cash cow. Since government jumped into the investment business, the Journal tells us that “a range of firms—from large investment banks to boutique real-estate companies—have been angling to grab some of the advisory business.” Representatives of some companies showed up in Washington to lobby even before Congress approved the bailout. And who can blame them? The Journal reports that “sales, financing and other traditional forms of real estate business have dried up with the credit crisis.”

Of course, most of these firms helped cause that very crisis. Most of the companies bidding for government business are suffering big losses and preparing to unload lots of bad paper on the government. Bad paper that other big companies with big losses and lots of bad paper will manage.

And so the circle will go on endlessly, at taxpayer expense.

The only problem is potential conflicts of interest, since companies will, notes the Washington Post, “be managing the assets while also selling their own troubled securities to the government.” But officials say they will attempt to “minimize” any conflict. No doubt, Washington won’t let a little thing like ethics stand in the way of letting everyone on Wall Street profit.

Indeed, politics are starting even before the president’s signature on the bill is dry. One analyst predicts that the Treasury Department will focus bailout funds on regional banks and thrifts, thereby providing “critical political support for Treasury’s efforts.” After all, “Congressmen who had to swallow hard to vote for this think will feel a lot better about it if they see the impact in their local communities.” Which is just another name for pork, like the spending programs and tax preferences loaded into the $700 billion bailout bill to win votes for passage.

All of this is politics as usual in Washington, and it won’t change whether Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain is elected president. Both of them supported the $700 billion Wall Street bailout, as well as the many other bailouts that preceded it. Both of them are part of the political establishment that helped create today’s economic problems. Neither of them will take the steps necessary to ensure that this sort of economic crisis doesn’t hit again. Only Bob Barr and the Libertarian Party are offering the sort of fundamental change that the American people need and deserve.

And here’s an article about the upsurge of interest in Bob Barr from the Atlanta Constitution:

The Wall Street debacle and the Barr effect

Friday, October 10, 2008, 04:20 PM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Just checked in with Russ Verney, the campaign manager for Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr.

Verney said the Wall Street crash and bailout has revived Barr’s standing as a factor in the 2008 presidential race.

“We’re seeing an enormous amount of activity coming in from the web site, from people opposed to the bailout,” Verney said.

Many are die hard Republicans, he said. “They’ve had it, they’re coming over and they’re bringing their friends.”

This low-key but effective criticism of the $700 billion Wall Street rescue, videotaped in Barr’s Smyrna headquarters and posted on YouTube, is driving much of the traffic.

Verney said Barr’s new standing in the presidential campaign remains hard to measure. “Most of the polling eliminates us,” he said — under the label of “other.”

WHY IS'NT THE F.B.I. INVESTIGATING WHERE HE'S GETTING ALL THIS CASH FROM. WE KNOW A GOOD CHUNK IS FROM THAT SHITHEEL SOROS, BUT WHERE'S ALL THE REST COMING FROM? I'D PUT MONEY ON IT THAT THE CHINAMEN AND THE MIDDLE EASTERN SCUMBAGS FROM SAUDI ARABIA, BAHARAIN, et al. ARE BANKROLLING HIM BIG TIME!!! WOULD'NT SURPRIZE ME IF BIN LADEN HAS EVEN SENT HIM SOME FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF PAKISTAN. IT'S SPECULATION OF COURSE BUT OBAMA HAS NOT ONE IOTA OF DECENCY OR SCRUPLES.

Jared A Chambers

I hope Obama loses, and I believe there's a good chance he will. Also, I normally enjoy your articles, and have voted for several on RCP. However, this crap is for the tin-foil hat crowd. Yes, his speech, both style and words, is DESIGNED to create appeal beyond logic... and it appeals to the lowest-common denominator (i.e. stupid) out there. But the idea that people are actually being hypnotically manipulated beyond their control.... Look, even if you believe that, surely you have to recognize this conspiracy theory bunk isn't gonna help us win next week. Delete this post before someone associates it with serious Obama opponents.

I do believe that Hitler used the same techniques. He also practiced for hours in front of a mirror working on hand gestures and voice patterns. And he used a speech coach.

Classic post!

Oh whoops...doesn't work on me. All the hypnotic crap in the world has a tendency to go phffft when I hear socialist/marxist rhetoric, a psychological turn-off every time it's heard, 'cuz it's a proven loser, everywhere it's ever tried. Yeah, Michael Moore...EVERY WHERE IT'S TRIED.

Jenn Sierra

I've been saying (somewhat jokingly) for a long time that the Obamatons aren't listening to the words of "The One;" they're just mesmerized by his voice. I guess it wasn't a joke.

Dfelton,

If I were going to vote for anyone third party it would be Baldwin, I for one am not a little bit liberal, to me Libertarianism is being economically conservative but socially liberal.

Do you know why even thought most Americans are fake Christians that they still want their president to be a Christian? because they feel safer having a government that believes they have to face up to a higher power. Without a belief in god there, the government is the highest power (and that is a scary thought).

This may sound tin hatish, the hypnosis but it honestly is nothing new, it is well known and admitted Bill Clinton himself had trained in such a thing for many many years. He and Obama both have that uncanny ability to lie right to your face and you walk away believing it.

I always wonder what is up with the thumb thing both Bill and Obama do, Hilary I've seen do it a lot too.. always wondered what was up with that.

Layla

Sigh.....this is all so absurd and out of control Debbie. Like you I still have hope we can win on the 4th. Join me please in my live blogging - it will be set up like instant messaging where we can discuss the election live, report what is going on and talk about it like on an IM.

It will be wonderful to see how many people join in that are not from our tight nit group!

Stormwarning

Well, its all over the Internet, so it must be real. But the real question (at least in my mind) is whether this is a serious assertion and whether it is to be believed, or whether, instead, it is very broad satire (?).

I am so glad that I voted with my mind (on the issues) and my conscience, and with my future WEALTH in mind, and voted for McCain-Palin.

- spread the wealth
- will strip the defense dept.
- will meet with terrorists
- do not drill
- do not defend the borders
- reversed his word on campaign financing
- would unilaterally disarm

I wrote about this, too, after having some one send me a link to a document making the hypnosis allegation. I have been researching Erickson's work and wondering how experts in the field of hypnosis view the allegation; also, wondering why people don't read some of the document and its analysis to make up their minds.

It's about 67 pages, not a super easy read, but not excessively difficult either. An analysis of a specific speech on page 36 of the document provides a sample of what's being alleged.

Link to that document is here, embedded in my post at http://antiarianna.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/could-obama-be-using-ericksonian-hypnosis-in-his-speeches/

or go there direct with this link:

http://www.pennypresslv.com/Obama%27s_Use_of_Hidden_Hypnosis_techniques_in_His_Speeches.pdf

While the authorship of the document would be nice to have, nevertheless whatever validity it has lies within its actual claim. Either it makes a good case, or not.

I think a presidential election is important enough that citizens should care about this charge which is a very serious one. If true, it should be disqualifying enough in itself. Combined to Obama's numerous associations (Wright, Ayers, Rezko, et al) it should tell people this guy is not the squeaky clean person he might seem to be.

Hypnosis? You people have finally gone totally bat-shit crazy with irrational paranoia.

Self hypnosis downloads

I think hypnosis is a very effective method to change your habits, it has helped me to quit smoking

Self hypnosis techniques

Hypnosis techniques have also changed through the times but the basic requirements are the same. The subject must be willing and must have trust in the one doing the hypnotizing. This often takes several sessions to establish this bond and without it the hypnosis techniques will not work
