Bush's spending habits bug me. Being blown up bugs me a bit more. I'll stick with Bush.

I agree, but at some point we have to address the growing power of the federal government. I do not believe that in the long term it is beneficial for liberty to have a central government with unlimited jurisdiction.

I can understand that, but I look at it as a matter of priorities. Which is the graver threat: Bigger government spending or terrorism?
I don't like either, but I think that we have to look at first things first.

Exactly. People like Bob Barr need to grow up. No one is ever going to agree with any politician 100% of the time, or even anything close to 100%. When disagreements happen, grownups don't pick up their marbles and go home, or write snippy and petulant essays like this one during the heat of an election campaign, an article which may be used as campaign propaganda by the Kerry campaign. If Barr is going to try to stab Bush in the back, at least he should have the guts to admit that he is really a kool-aid chugging Libertarian and not a Republican.
