  Barr publishes a more extensive "Issues" section
Have at 'em:

http://www.bobbarr2008.com/issues/

Off the bat, I'm not crazy about the tagline 'the answer is less
government' (though it is written in a sexy font). Somehow that
implies to my government-despising mind that the answer is
*government*, just less of it. Less of a bad-thing is *good*, yes, but
not the answer.

If I have HIV, I am happy to have a lower virus titer, but that ain't
the *answer*. The *answer* is a cure.

I'd prefer something along the lines of 'the answer is freedom' or
'the answer lies in you' or something to indicate that the answers
comes from *people*, not *government*.

But maybe - just maybe - I'm biased.

Some fairly shabby writing is in evidence, which tastes a little bit
like Shane Cory's style to me. For example: "Since 1997, Bob has been
a board member of the National Rifle Association, and quickly became
the vanguard of gun rights during his four terms in Congress."

'became the vanguard'???

I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
- Lao Tzu
