If you watch NBC, CBS, FOX news, or any of the national and local news stations, then your undoubtably aware that our country is on the brink of financial devestaton. Rampant inflation, mortgage loan fraud, and a growing credit crisis have weakened the fagile economy and deepened the distrust amungst americans and there relationgship government officials. a feelng of inabilty to run the united states acoordinly with our constitutional rights has swept the nation ten folds. And at one of the most contreversial times, texans were faced with yet another issue concerning the fate of our country.......would there be a place to vote for McCain and Obama on the Texas ballot? If you read the Chronicle's publishing about late filings then the answer would have been no.......or atleast if libritarian bob barr had gotten his way. In a letter on Aug 5th the the secretary of sate, Barr demanded "that the Obama/Biden ticket be denied ballot access because they missed the deadline". He also made accusations that the mccain/palin ticket was not eligible since "Sarah Palin didn't receive (her) nomination(s) until Sept. 3" so keeping this in mind, i ask you ......who would you have voted for if neither of the major parties nominiees been on the ballot? Would you fight or lobby the sepreme court over the injustice both parties are being scrutinized to, or would you reluctanly picked Bob Barr who thought that the next president should be chosen by a filing date and not by their ability to run a country? i guess there is always the option to stay home. All i know is that im realived and happy to not have one more thing i have to worry about when it comes time for me to fill in my box.
