Worcester, Massachusetts.  September 4, 2008.  New Hampshire Libertarian Presidential candidate George Phillies asked a few pointed questions about Sarah Palin's opening address to the American people:  "Sarah Palin gave us plenty of beef. She gave us vehement attacks on Barack Obama.  But where was the healthy meal, the substantial proposals to cure our nation's ills?

"The Bush-McCain-Palin attack machine accused Barack Obama of plotting to increase taxes.  The Bush-McCain-Palin attack machine told us they promise lower taxes.  They talked about every tax except one:  the Grandchild Tax, the National Debt.

"For the last half-decade our national debt has soared five hundred billion dollars a year.  We spent the money.  We're leaving our debts to our grandchildren.  That's no way to treat your own grandchildren, and it's no way to treat your country, either.  Bush-McCain-Palin offers no solution to the national debt that their Republican party did so much to create.

"Only a Libertarian President will cut Federal spending and pay down the National Debt.  Only a Libertarian President will leave to our grandchildren a ship of state that's free of attachments, liens, and third mortgages."  Phillies urged New Hampshire voters to support the Libertarian ticket: Phillies, Newell for Governor, Blevens for Senate, Kingsbury and Lapointe for Congress.
