Everything I see about Mike Gravel shows he has real character. Unfortunately the rest are all busy with their political positioning. It is a shame that we pick leaders that way.
Right on about voting for who is the best choice rather than who is the most popular. This country was founded by free thinking individuals who did what they felt was right, not what was popular. It is so clear that Mike Gravel is the best choice for this country. And I just don't get why people are so against same sex marraige - grow up! Love is beautiful no matter what the gender and that is something you can never change.
With The National Ballot Initiative we won't have to depend on the politicians for our Freedoms on things that matter to us. I wonder if HRC is another corporate plot. These are the very people in the way of Real Equality, IMHO.
Mike Gravel supports fundamental changes in all areas of our Government. While the other candidates are busy dancing around issues and playing politics as usual, Mike Gravel isn't afraid to say exactly what he intends to do as president, regardless if his ideas rub someone the wrong way. This video is about more than gay marriage, it illustrates his willingness to bring real, substantial changes to our government.
there's not any gay animals in nature, is there? reproduction of species is the design of the male and female in all aspects. But there's a flawd species and it's us, and that's why this planet is in turmoil. Not one person can say otherwise. I know about the species that have both sex organs and there purpose is to reproduce.
Yes, there are gay animals in nature. In fact, scientists recently discovered a gene in fruit flies that, when active, causes them to be gay. Google it.
He made a false statement about no gay animals in nature. I gave a evidence to refute his claim. I never made a comparison between fruit flies and humans. Nice reading comprehension skills though, troll.
Here is a courageous human being talking about the need for more love in society! He's not supporting gay marriage because he wants to appeal to a certain constituency and garner power. He does this because he is a loving human being! His presidential candidacy is truly a gift. Look what we COULD have instead of what we DO have if we only truly wanted it and that means working for it instead of complaining that it's not possible.
Mike is a man ahead of his time.His honesty and progressive visionary thinking are a gift to humanity.When America is overpowered by fascisim and becomes a police state voices will cry out why did we not listen to the voice of truth.
If you didn't know Logo is a gay network. Nothing wrong with that, but why do we need an entire presidential debate devoted to this subject? There are plenty of economic channels why don't they have a debate about the economy? The ramifications of a '08 dollar disaster will affect all of us, gay, straight, black and white, but the subject is ignored. I haven't heard anyone but Paul utter the truth about the economy, and look what happens to him.
Its not just about gay marriage - its about CIVIL RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES. I guess we could have said "why are so many people worried about slavery? We need more cotton." Or "who cares if black and whites have different drinking fountains?" It is the same idea. Gays and lesbians are being presented and treated like second-class citizens and this is just one of the MANY things wrong with our country that Mike can help solve.
Gravel 08 - for peace, love, democracy, freedom, truth...
No its completely not the same idea. There is NO segregation of gays in this country, I can even walk into a gay bar if I wanted too. And this is INCOMPARABLE to slavery, we are not forcing them to work in the fields!! In fact I have seen more gay related subject matter in the media in the past decade, clearly they are not being treated like 2nd class citizens. I have no problem with gay people at all, but it seems to me the president has better things to talk about. Like WW3 for instance.
I would just rather see an entire debate about the war, and an entire debate about the incoming dollar meltdown. These are issues reaching critical and will destroy this country very soon if we continue to ignore them. Gay marriage is not at all essential to the survival of our republic, so it honestly confuses me why they make it out to be such a huge issue. Same with many of the other party "talking points".
If we're still talking about gay rights after the dollar implodes, this nation will officially be an insane asylum. I dont see any gay oppression in this county. Infact I see a steady increase of gay content in the mainstream media. Not saying its a bad thing but im wondering how far you people want it to go, and why is it a bigger deal than war or the dollar? I mean gay people are dieing in Iraq and gay people use the US dollar, too.
Save the date Guess what's coming? We are going to have a huge rally for Mike! When: December 10th, 2007 Where: Pan Pacific Park, 7600 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles, California Time: 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Senator: He will be there to speak in person! 3:30 pm! There will be food and entertainment! Bring signs in support of Senator Gravel! It doesn't matter where you live. Come Celebrate! Pass the word! Checkout Interiorstate (dot) com/gravel (dot) htm Please donate Dec. 5th!
that guy asking him questions is fucking scared America is a house of whores. Gravel is one of the only people left in the world with a bit of humanity! Fucking stand up! Fucking stand up! Don't be petty feds.
what exactly does that mean? I'm seriously confused. Do gay and lesbian people not have rights in this country? Can they not already express their sexuality? What should a president do for the gay community differently.

People were made to be free. Freedom will not create a perfect world. Just the best possible world. Freedom is the solution to the human condition. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who understands this. ALL the others tell you that if you give them power(that is, give up your power/freedom) they will fix all life's problems for you. Which makes them either fools or power hungry liars.
That is an empty slogan that means absolutely nothing. You have to fight for freedom, it is not given to you, Paul doesnt understand this. The best way to do this is the vote for NI4D to empower yourself as a citizen.
Nato is a military alliance and the US does not need it =) I mean your military budget is 20 times as big as RUSSIA!!!
If you just take your military away from all the countries where you have military bases and tone it down a bit nobody is going to attack you! Defend the homeland!
The only thing Paul is spouting is what progressives have been saying all along, That is nothing new. Gravel essentially is saying the same things about military withdrawls. Learn how to read. None excuse me, but does he want out of the Geneva conventions and treaties. Paul does a lousy job of defining non interventioness policies. You folks trip all over his words, but never ask pointed questions. Cant keep being this stupid.

Of course you were. I was searching for Ron Paul videos. I like Mike Gravel's views but I am a Ron Paul supporter. Why? That's a noontrivial matter. We are looking for candidates whose video will show when searched by their name and not somebody else's.
Really!? I have got positive feedback 90% of time. My posts are based on facts and not on perception. And btw none of them are mindless but opinions based on solid researches. And the quantity is coming from sheer dedication to the cause RP is fighting for. He has 50+% of all GOP straw polls and raised 10.4+ million dollars in the last 62 days. And RP dedicates his success to such grassroot efforts. Such efforts are not called spamming.
Goody for you, but I dont your numbers. This is a bunch of spammers who are flooding the internet and pissing people off. You get hurt your cause, not help it. Hope you enjoy it while you can, because Rudy is going to take it all away from you.
You brought up a lot of interesting points with this video. They all reminded me of why I'm voting for Dennis Kucinich. He really does have a chance. Gravel would make an excellent VP.
I don't believe in more unnecessary regulation on our souls. As well I don't believe in infringing on other person's lives. Those two ideas are logical and harmonize. Also Ron Paul gave the perfect response as he usually does saying "why do we need to define it in more laws. All we have to do is look it up in the dictionary." It's true that it is an ancient tradition. Now maybe we should change laws that decrease benefits of life partners. Just a thought.
The law to ban the use of the word mom or dad in school was upsetting as well as unisex bathroom implementation. Of all the unnecessary institutionalizing by the government. Every thought controlled. Something that may be slowly blossoming. Not a great thought that schools are heavily regulated in numerous facets. More regulation is a serious mistake.

"do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded wife?" lol even if you did, it still wouldnt be marriage. You have to call it something else. Call it gayriage for all i care. Because its no longer marriage if its not between a man and a woman. "gayrried" people should have the same rights as married people. But they dont need the title of "married" in order to have that. Gayried works just fine!
