Some politics before the election.
So, the election is a week away. I thought I'd throw in my measly two cents in before it occurs.

Have you heard about the bailout? I can't imagine you haven't. The bailout was the U.S. government's plan to "bail out" the big banks so that they'd have money to loan to people, to try and help to bring our economy back on track. Both Obama and McCain voted for this bailout.

Want to know what the banks are doing with their bailout money?

AIG executives spent part of their bailout money on a $86,000 hunting trip.

Chase bank plans to use their bailout money to buy out other banks instead of making more loans.

I'm voting for the one presidential candidate who voted against the bailout. That presidential candidate is Bob Barr.

Some people may say I am throwing my vote away because he has no chance to win. However, if I were to vote for Obama or McCain, I would be voting for someone whose ideals I do not share. In my mind, that is throwing my vote away. I'm proud to be voting for Bob Barr.
