Hmm...Don't know anything about this guy Barkley, but I am liking the rebeling against either party. Some day there will come a time when not voting dem or rep will not automatically mean that you are "throwing your vote away". It'll be interesting to see how this all turns out. Thanks to Rob for bringing this to my attention. I have no idea how it is possible to so strongly agree and strongly disagree with you at the same time, but at least you are never boring! : )
