Libertarian Doug Stanhope, who was to announce that he was seeking the political party's presidential nomination, dropped out today, May 1, 2007. As a professional comedian careerist, he said, “Federal Election Commission rules would not allow me to campaign at paid gigs while also retaining a personal income from those shows.”
What's that phrase, "don't throw the baby out with the bath water?" The FEC, like other regulators, is uprooting good people while targeting those that are bad. Of course, it's not their fault, it's Congress' for limiting personal freedom in the interest of fair play. Let's not stop with some regulations, however; let's include many government "services" that have been refined and honed so much that the original programs are now bogged down by beaurocracy.
How about the phrase, "if all else fails, read the Constitution"-- you'll be amazed of the foundational guidance for governance it provides!
