I like Mike Gravel, i dont like McCain because McCain wont fight as hard to restore Americas Civil Liberties and fight coporations who corrupt government.
Mike is right when he says, "Follow the money." You should follow it all the way to the TV stations. The FCC says the airwaves belong to the American people, but if candidates want to use them at election time they have to pay through the nose. Could we re-write the airwave lease agreements to get a better deal for America at election time? Probably not. The communications lobby is too powerful. They're not giving anything away. Check out my video for the answer.
Yesterday utube marginalized Mike and Paul by removing their pictures from the face the canaidates main page. Guess what.. now they took them clean off the page! Don't stand for this!!

Its not about money you moron, money has corrupted this country. Its about principle. If you were smarter you would understand that.
then you might have to explain to me why he has no chance of winning. He has fans, sure he does, but not the amount of fans he would have had he actually considered the impact money could have on his campaign. I admire his bid so he can forward attention to other interests, but it's not getting him elected, and thats what i meant by "loser".

That's one of the main points of his entire campaign, he's not about corporate cash, look into him. He's spent maybe 350K and look how many people know him. He might have 0 delegates, but that proves he's running for unselfish reasons. Anyone running on ego would have dropped out by now (Romney, Guiliani, Edwards) rather than face a loss. This guy is doing what you only wish you had the courage to do: stand up for what he believes in and fight to the end no matter how many people see him fail.
