Remembering Mike Gravel
2008-05-28 09:53:00 Mike Gravel has the dubious honor of having failed to win the nomination of not one but two political parties this year. After he failed to win the Democratic nomination he also ran for the Libertarian Party nomination. Some, including many Libertarian Party members and candidates, did find it strange that a non-libertarian was running ...

Crazy for Liberty's interview with Mike Gravel
2008-04-16 22:14:00 This past Sunday Garrett Hayes and myself interviewed Mike Gravel. We talked about gun rights ,nuclear power, fair tax and democracy. After the interview I am now less likely to vote for Mike Gravel in any form. I thought it would be nice to have him on the ticket with Barr or someone else (maybe Ruwart or Phillies) but after the interview i know say NO. I am not sure what you guys think of democracy. I think it sucks. It is two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner, it is also 3 white farmers and a black guy voting on who is going to pick the cotton. Mike Gravel loves democracy and democracy is dangerous. At this point I would like a Bob Barr /Ruwart ticket but I could live with a Ruwart/ Phillies ticket. I do believe the party will get more coverage with Barr as the front man. I also believe Ruwart would get more interviews as the VP candidate behind Barr than if she was the front man. We would be more likely to have her views get out because the buz...
Comment on We will be interviewing Mike Gravel this Sunday, Do you have any
2008-04-10 00:19:00 Here is a questionnaire which I submitted to all of the Libertarian candidates for president for whom I have email addresses at the end of December, to Mary Ruwart several days ago and to Michael Badnarik today after I watched him as the expert questioner during the Pennsylvania/New Jersey LP Convention Debate among nine Libertarian candidates for president. I added Question 40. Do you support Restore 04? (see www.restore04.com) at the beginning of January. As of now, Steve Kubby, Christine Smith and Barry Hess have endorsed Restore 04. So far Jim Burns, Alden Link and George Phillies have answered the questionnaire, partially in Dr. Phillies' case. Question 1 is probably no longer relevant. However, I believe that the remainder of this questionnaire covers most issues which should arise during the campaign. LIBERTARIAN PRESIDENTIAL QUESTIONNAIRE 1. If Ron Paul receives the Republican or other alternate party nomination, do you promis...

Ad Wars: It's 3 AM Again
2008-04-04 06:29:00 Check out our video library at Political Realm TV.Hillary ClintonThe Clinton team released yet another 3 AM ad this week, this time taking aim at Republican John McCain. "Ringing" suggests McCain isn't prepared to handle the economic crisis facing the next president. Considering the 3 AM thing has become so cliche, the ad isn't particularly compelling or effective. Clinton also released her first ad in North Carolina today, "NC Ask Me." She begins the ad by telling viewers, "If you're looking for a typical commercial, switch the channel." Clinton goes on to ask voters to share their concerns with her, inviting them to visit her website.

2008-03-26 13:28:00 Mike gravel has joined the Libertarian Presidential Race.This came from www.thirdpartywatch.com Gravel For President 2008A Personal Message from Mike Gravel Dear friend, I wanted to update you on my latest plans before news gets out. Today, I am announcing my plan to join the Libertarian Party, because the Democratic Party no longer represents my vision for our great country. I wanted my supporters to get this news first, because you have been the ones who have kept my campaign alive since I first declared my candidacy on April 17, 2006. The fact is, the Democratic Party today is no longer the party of FDR. It is a party that continues to sustain war, the military-industrial complex and imperialism—all of which I find anathema to my views. By and large, I have been repeatedly marginalized in both national debates and in media exposure by the Democratic leadership, which works in tandem with the corporate interests that control what we read and hear in the media.

RRS Supportive President? What are your thoughts on Mike Gravel for Pres?
2008-01-28 18:00:00 The Rational Response Squad has just received an interesting email. Adam Abeles, Chief Biological Science Advisor for Mike Gravel (former Senator running for President) has written us and vocalized respect for our efforts, along with the request of some exposure due to the congruence of his goals with ours. This includes not only intensified promotion of science in all realms, particularly education, but the elimination of creation science in any classroom, and an open dialogue about the dangers of religion. We are reluctant to throw public support in for any particular candidate as it makes a potential conversion to a 501c3 much more difficult. We are able to convey the facts to you and present you with an area in which to discuss them. We want to know what you think of Mike Gravel.

US Presidential Candidates On Education: Mike Gravel
2008-01-05 04:29:00 The 2008 Iowa Caucuses have come and gone, while the New Hampshire primary is coming up hard on our right. The next candidate that we examine is Mike Gravel of Alaska, who is still in the race. Gravel, although the longest of long-shots, is still in the race, contrary to what MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has indicated. This is where Gravel stands on educational issues, according to USA Today:Mike Gravel on educationOn No Child Left Behind lawFormer Alaska senator Mike Gravel says he doesn’t like the No Child Left Behind education law, saying its emphasis on testing has robbed students of a well-rounded education. The law requires every state to test students annually. Schools failing to make academic progress over several years could be closed or have their faculty replaced.“Principals constantly prep students for the tests by cutting not only art, gym and music but also history and science,” he wrote in The New York Sun on Aug. 30, 2007. “No wonder children are bored with s...

The former Senator from Alaska's website is Gravel2008.He has great ideas and standpoints for any conceivable issue - and he's slammed Hillary on a lot of her crap, and many of the other deadweight candidates too.Kucinich is a close second, and is currently in the House (literally and probably proverbially).He had a good enough sense of humor to appear on The Colbert Report and empty out all his pockets, which always contain a lot of things.Both these men are good choices, and you should check them out. Especially because I've never cared enough about ANY presidential candidate before to even mention them ANYWHERE. I think that's pretty notable.Vote Gravel (or Kucinich) in 08.

Mike Gravel - "Hillary, Your Lips are Moving and You're Lying'
2007-11-19 20:08:00 In this video, Former Senator and U.S. Presidential candidate Mike Gravel -- who was not invited to be in the Nevada debate -- held his own event where he responded to the answers given by the candidates, well, ok, Senator Clinton here. He says she's lying about Clinton's position on Iran, saying "Hillary, Your Lips are Moving and you're lying. She's ignorant. The law that was past right after 9-11, coupled with the resolution that (U.S. Senator Joe Libermann) put in, gave the President the power to go to war." It's not right that he was excluded; he'd have made the event informative and unforgetable as well as providing a great check for Hillary Clinton.

On the bright side, at least this new garnered Hunter some media attention, though not much.Romney Lowering ExpectationsIt appears Mitt Romney's campaign is seeking to lower expectations in Iowa and New Hampshire--a move that has two clear reasons. First, polls do in fact show tightening in New Hampshire and (at least in one poll) Iowa. Lowered expectations would help Romney explain a closer than expected finish in the two early states. Although the campaign may not openly admit it, a loss in either state would be devastating for the campaign after pouring millions into their efforts there. Make no mistake though, Romney is still the heavy favorite to win both contests, which leads to our second point. If Romney leads the media and voters to believe that Iowa and New Hampshire are meaningful contests (rather than runaways that other ...

2007-08-27 23:27:00 Mike Gravel rules. He is one of the 2 greatest people running for president. The other is obviously Dennis Kucinich. Mike Gravel served in the United States Senate. Mike Gravel single handedly ended the draft with a 1 man filibuster up against Nixon's cronies. Mike Gravel is always regulating. He doesn't ever act like a pansy for he is too busy stopping stupid shit like the draft.You may have seen Mike Gravel in some of the debates and have thought to yourself, "That Mike Gravel sure is angry!" He is angry at how uncool the current state of affairs is! Mike Gravel knows what's cool like myself so he is outraged by uncoolness.If you don't know who he is or have written him off as someone who reminds you of your crazy uncle during Thanksgiving you need to seriously reevaluate your opinion, do some research, and start thinking pro Mike Gravel thoughts.

Democrats Debate in Chicago on MSNBC: Hillary's "Your Girl!"
2007-08-08 08:29:00 My take on the Democratic Presidential debate in Chicago on MSNBC earlier tonight, which I caught on rerun -1. As I expected, I missed the kind of YouTube questions from the last Democratic debate. The questions in tonight's debate were ok - the best came from AFL-CIO union members - but the questions asked by moderator Keith Olbermann had no surprises. I'm flatly predicting we'll be seeing fewer and fewer of these "old time" debate formats as the campaigns progress.2. Hillary and Obama each had the best moments:a - Hillary saying that, if you want a candidate who won't attack other Democrats, but will concentrate Democratic fire on the right wing, then- "I'm your girl!" - was a master stroke! With that phrase, Hillary showed she's comfortable with her gender, not bound by stereotypes of the recent past (in which "girl" was unacceptable in discourse about adults), and ready to lead. It may take more than linguistics to win this election, but that moment was a galvanizing, ling...
