Letter of the day: Mad about the bailout? Then Bob Barr is your candidate

Four words describe Bob Barr that make him different from John McCain and Barack Obama: "He opposed the bailout." Barr recognizes that money and choice in your hands is better than in Washington's. McCain might talk the talk, but he does not walk the walk. He voted for the $700 billion bailout of corrupt banks, plus another $100 billion in pork. Obama also voted in support of the bailout. Money from the people into the hands of the same powerful shadowy figures he claims that he will punish. The rest of us in the real world are left more than $700 billion poorer with nothing to show for it. They call it sacrifice. Bob Barr calls it the "Bomb" -- short for Bush, Obama, McCain Bailout. I will not vote for either major-party candidate. Orders for "change" by either candidate might be effective in North Korea, but not here in the land of the free. I'm voting for Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr. I like a candidate who has faith in American innovation. That is an actual change. DENNIS J. ZACHMAN, SAUK CENTRE, MINN.
