Sure you can have a national sales tax -- but to replace all other taxes -- it would be over 60%, just like the studies have shown.
Fairtax pretend it can be 30% -- which is still very high -- by counting the money you lunatics pretend you can collect FROM the government. You bullshitters fool stupid people with this shit.
You fucking can't collect a sales tax FROM the government you idiot/
hes so right. and in 2 years you all ppl will see that those who ran for president, and obama who won are stuttering now and dont even know the issues, and papers that goes through the system. this man knew. and still knows
er, how does what feel? i've got nothing against barack. what have you got against dope? btw, truth be told, i'm more of a hallucinogens sort of bloke.
About the dying part, I didn't say that you will die, I mean you will die eventually as all, but what I meant is that your stuff, will be famous so famous in the future, even after you are dead, even if you died after 100 yrs old.
Or did you try to say that you think you are not going to die never ever?
The sad faces were because I am not sure you will be recognized soon, but lets hope.
Perhaps you are already a star with a hobby, who knows.
I really do miss hearing about Gravel. He had more passion than any other 2008 candidate. Gravel is the model politician of whom we believe all our candidates will turn out to be, but seldom ever do.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
though i think he should have been given a better chance in the media compared to the big money politicians, i still think he should be in a retirement home. it looks as if he's loosing his grip on reality.
It's amazing he kept a sense of humor with all the sacrifices he made for his cause in the U.S. (which he continues to devote his life to I might add). He's had at least three appearances on Press TV in the last week which might be worth listening to, considering his background and knowledge of foreign policy. Oh, I'm sorry. How inconsiderate of me! You don't have any time with your obligation of satisfying the stereotype of American imbecile.

If you are against Obama, you are againt the whole country. You are the losers, get over it and lets get this country back on track and working toward world peace.
Are you kidding me? Politics in America is an Entertainment business. The candidates with the most money and support by companies, not the candidate with the optimal views, gets in top two, because they get the most media coverage and the biggest campaigns.
Uhh..... just because you don't agree with the status quo doesn't mean your a communist. It's called a false dilemma my friend (lol).
Hey.. let me whisper something to you... its gonna bust your balls.... its not our elected (corrupt) officials that are the main issue it is the entire machinery of this country... Ya ya I know your giving me the backwoods one liner "communist" BS. The game is rigged against you my foolish friend there are no libs and cons just poor and rich.
American's are some of the most susceptible dupes when it comes to spin-doctored bullshit. They're still confused about the difference between socialism and communism while homeless walk the street and people die everyday because they didn't have any health insurance. Meanwhile in various countries around the world where people stay in school (because socialism funds the school system), they have full medical insurance and programs to help the homeless. Americans: proud of their ignorance.
I live in Mexico and there's nothing you just said that's beyond me. I'm just as educated as you on this stuff, so stop hating and make yourself useful. Maybe you could educate Americans... you seem to think they need your wisdom. But first, get to know the American population. Proud of ignorance? Some. But I'd say most of them just don't know about these issues because the American gov't keeps information about socialism and communism from its people.
they keep any ideological group that interferes with their agenda under control with the media and ofcourse lots of rules and troubles if they want to be on the ballots.
it's not only the true socialists but also real conservative republicans that dont have a chance.
It works a lot better when you use more than one single clip, sir. See The "Mccain's youtube problem" as an example.
Also, please tell RX to quit posting videos with you just singing on them, they take away from his actual good work with Mashups and political statements. Feel like I'm watching Ron Paul over here...
now with barely 30 days to go Obama is the ONLY candidate talking about the issues. Sure he has some fluff mixed in with it, but if all he did was talk issues the American people would shut their brains down from overload. John McCain's got nothing but fluff.
One thing I want to make clear to everybody. I'm tired of these weak ass discussions that are being called by the mass media 'debates.' It's total counterintuitive bullshit when you call something a debate when the candidates can't do anything close to debate. They can't even address each other, ask questions of each other, and debate a position between the two. These laughable debates aren't even close to what a debate is.
Mr. Gravel, when did the debate format change? I didn't take an active interest in political matters until after 9/11 and my feelings of being lied to about it by the Bush nutjobs. The only other President before Bush I was old enough to pay any attention to was Clinton, but I was only like 12 or 13 when he became President.
Me thinks that the reason the debate format changed was because the Democrats were slaughtering the Republicans in the debates that were being broadcasted live over Republican owned television netowrks. Was it because Bush got slaughtered in the debates? Was it because Clinton slaughtered the Republicans in the debates, or does it go back rather than that? I'm asking because I don't know. I knew Bush was a cock sucker on his first campaign trail so I always turned him off.
The first time I saw him on his first presidential campaign I knew there was something wrong with him. Not about being stupid or anything, but just that I got strong vibes from him that he was a piece of shit. So, anything that had him in it, I turned the channel on. I didn't want to see that cock sucker anywhere. Debates, campaign trail, nothing. I hated him from the beginning, and I wasn't interested in political matters during the Clinton Administration, so I'm just asking since u know.
hes the reason we don't have a draft... he read the pentagon files for practically 30 days straight and forced Nixon to set a time frame for withdrawal and stop the presidents power of the draft. hes risked death by treason to help his country.hes done more for this country than obama and Mcain together. how on earth could you consider a man of Jefferson caliber dumb... learn to not be ignorant
oh man he looks so high! i would love to fire it up with one of this countries greatest unsung heroes!! Whatever happened when the media chooses our candidates, its not a fair process
Obama and McCain are both NWO puppets, i mean my god. Gravel, Kucinich, and Paul were the only candidates worth putting into office, and they were shut down, not because of a lack of support, but because the establishment recognizes a threat to thier ways when they see it.
what I meant to say is Mike Gravel was the only straight shooter in the race, and his brand of humor-glazed truth really speaks to some of us.
he's probably the only candidate bringing the indignation we all feel to the table. I voted for Gravel in the Florida dem primaries (the ones that didn't count, thanks republican crooks) and I would've voted for him as a libertarian.
Of course I am voting for Obama,but before I was sold on him I was all for Sen Gravel & Ron Paul because they looked right into the camera and told it like it is.I really enjoyed this video though
Yeah, but where is all the great footage of Gravel actually debating the issues?! This man has something to say...if you'd contrasted the silly Barack outtakes with some of Gravel's comments on issues, it would be a more powerful piece ;-)
ohhh im sorry,ron paul need not 2be a republican in this day and age. to be a republican thats actually gonna get voted in, you have to keep together the system(big money for politicians,lobbyist, oil companies,banks etc) oh yeah W A R. thats pauls downfall,he should have been an independent because lots of people simply wont get passed trusting a republican for atleast a while.
In Canada we have a system where the parites recieve money for every vote they get. So when you vote for a third party, they get some money per vote to promote the party agenda.
I think the Canadian Green party got 2% of the last popular vote, which translated into $200,000, so in essence, every vote does count.
The problem with american elections is it's not set up to support small parties.
Democrat or Republican? How can you fit everyones interest into only two categories?
If you liked Bill Clinton, you'll love Obama. Why? His top advisors almost all come from the same woodwork. Change? What a joke. Neither a Democrat nor a Republican will get my vote ever again...I'm done with them.
odama an ophra use the same word for there lingo.they think there Write but there wrong..the beeep = pretending..yes i never heard no issues besides odama cursing write for speaking to soon.
Yeah, he doesnt talk issues enough. But, while Gravel would be far superior to anyone else, the media has killed his campaign. It is simply a symbol of how much power the media has over an apathetic American people. This has been noted as one of the steps towards Facism.
I agree with you 100% senator Mike Gravel. Presidential candidate Obama never explains the issues he is running on! its incredible. What disturbs me the most is, most Americans do no see this.
But why insert snippits of Congressman Ron Paul? I do not understand. Ron Paul does elaborate on his plans on taking the role of Presidential candidacy.
you're right. because of this video i don't believe barack obama has ever said anything about any issues concerning our nation. clearly he only says he's fired up over and over. i'm so glad mr. gravel has exposed barack.
I doubt that he makes videos about Gravel looking not as intelligent as he is. I'd vote for Gravel if he had a chance (and if I was of age). It's not that I don't like Gravel. I just don't like politics I guess because it seems like most of the time, people end up saying bad things about each other or making each other look a way that they aren't. Why did you make this video? What was the purpose?
He did this because he was given no airtime or anything, plus he does these videos but they aren't his ideas. The Rock video, this one, and all others werent his idea. They were just artistic videos made to get his face known.
If you want him to talk about the issues, then read his book, or watch his other videos during the debates, or during many interviews.
This is incredibly disrespectful. People with integrity, people like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, etc, would never insult a colleague like Mr. Gravel does. It's not funny, it's just sad that he feels he has to resort to this.
What insults are contained in this video? Further, Joe Biden has insulted Senator Gravel on several occasions, some of which are on video here on YouTube.
Senator Obama made the ultimate insult by not defending Senator Gravel's right to debate.
America is becoming a nation of sheep, most of them say they hate Bush's policies and want *change* yet they keep electing the same corrupted war mongering candidates over and over. 0_o
Obama is a false hope, LOOK UP his voting record in the senate, he's no different than McCain-Bush or Hillary as he claims to be.
All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. As You Like It Act 2, scene 7, 139--143
William Shakespeare
Will the people remain mere spectators or will they decide to become players themselves? Consider, decide and vote for the National Initiative. Make this YOUR country.
Voting for a Presidential candidate is just societal conditioning, playing the stale, fake game, with very little impact. Voting for the National Initiative is an intelligent choice with significant impact.
He was pretty obviously supporting and agreeing with Wright more than Obama. He was showing that Wright makes more sense than Obama, but the media pwned the both of 'em.
Gravel... your videos are starting to get creepy! we get it, you lost and you're sad about that but stop being such a little girl about it. your banner says "Let the people decide" and they decided against you! It is NOT "let the people decide unless I lose and then it's the media's fault!"
No, the people never really had a chance to decide. Gravel was censored from debates. He needed a fair shake but was instead taken off the stage so NO, PEOPLE DID NOT DECIDE...the media decided and the Democratic party acquiesced. There's a big difference.
You can blame his loss on the media all you want, but the truth is he wasn't included in debates because less than 1% of the democratic party gave a damn about what he had to say, and they stuck to the candidates that the people cared about. This is NOT media censorship, it is merely chosing not to waste time!
I've just watched the speech of Obama in AIPAC and you are completely right, the dude is a war monger and will start a war with Iran, I can no longer support that crook...
please spread the word...many people are supporting Obama, believe it or not, as a "peace" candidate, ie someone opposed to war even though he has voted for every funding bill...talk about hypocrisy...
Hey! Did you order the book? Maybe Gravel channel will open up place for discussion of his books starting with Citizen Power? Or, maybe with more money, start something with the ni4d site? I'd like to see wish list for National Initiative, ie what National Initiative would you like to see first. Also, people's questions on NI. For example, answers to FAQ (how will media not twist issues?) would be very good for people trying to make a decision on voting for or not...
You can't beat the system, choose the less of the evils and live with it...
I'm not falling for Obama, I know he's an AIPAC slut, I voted for Nader in 2000/2004, give it up there's no hope... Everyone who came with the truth was censored...
Who ever said that Gravel endorsed Barr? He hasn't endorsed anyone, nor does he plan to. Though he does endorse Libertarian ideals. You know, the classic liberal ones :-)
Barr's track record is about as miserable as you can get. I don't trust him. Don't expect many Gravel constituents (or self-respecting Libertarians) to vote for him.
PS - Gravel's campaign is over. Too bad he still has a stronger, livelier web presence WITHOUT a campaign than Barr ever will.
Barack Obama will not bring this war to an end. He hasn't done anything to end it in the Senate, and he certainly won't do anything as President.
The real problem here is your ignorance. You decry our outlook on Obama, but you're willing to attack McCain in a heartbeat. Funny thing is, the two candidates aren't so different.
Millions of Americans are voting for him to end the war, his whole campaign is based on it, he cannot not end the war there will be too much opposition...
I hate some of his votes aka ~The patriot act but compared to McCain or Hillary he will at least deliver something...
Thor who is running for the Libertarian party voted for the patriot act, voted for the Iraq war and voted to keep funding the Iraq war.
what?! He talks about expanding the MIC, not diminishing it! When he talks about having 100,000 troops, where do you think they are going to come from? Thin air?!
Have you seen his seen foreign policy advisers? They represent more of the same imperialism from previous administrations.
Ending the war...haha
Maybe you are "hoping" for it!
and who is Thor?!?! hahaha, at least look up your names first.
The Libertarians are not as popular as the others and you know I was talking about Barr.
When I said that his whole campaign is based on it I meant as a promise that he keeps repeating over and over, I never said it could happen. As I said before, there will be too much opposition he cannot not end the war.
Obama is an AIPAC puppet, I know the major votes he has made, I don't like them but as I said before compared to Hillary or McCain, he's not so bad.
How many people are sitting near the window watching the rain outside looking to see if Ron Paul or Obama will drive up, jump up, and say, "come on baby, everything will be alright now." LOL Ron Paul or Obama cant save you cowards, vote for yourselves, depend on yourselfs, stand up like men and be as brave as those who enacted the consitution, vote the NI4D today!
Gravel is never out with the NI4D, people better jump off the dependancy express and realise the only vote that matters this year is for the NI4D. Rely on yourself, introduce laws that effect your life.
we never went away ...

he's probably the only candidate bringing the indignation we all feel to the table. I voted for Gravel in the Florida dem primaries (the ones that didn't count, thanks republican crooks) and I would've voted for him as a libertarian.

Of course I am voting for Obama,but before I was sold on him I was all for Sen Gravel & Ron Paul because they looked right into the camera and told it like it is.I really enjoyed this video though

In Canada we have a system where the parites recieve money for every vote they get. So when you vote for a third party, they get some money per vote to promote the party agenda.
I think the Canadian Green party got 2% of the last popular vote, which translated into $200,000, so in essence, every vote does count.
The problem with american elections is it's not set up to support small parties.
Democrat or Republican? How can you fit everyones interest into only two categories?

Yeah, he doesnt talk issues enough. But, while Gravel would be far superior to anyone else, the media has killed his campaign. It is simply a symbol of how much power the media has over an apathetic American people. This has been noted as one of the steps towards Facism.
comicnerd635 3 years ago 6
I agree with you 100% senator Mike Gravel. Presidential candidate Obama never explains the issues he is running on! its incredible. What disturbs me the most is, most Americans do no see this.
But why insert snippits of Congressman Ron Paul? I do not understand. Ron Paul does elaborate on his plans on taking the role of Presidential candidacy.

I doubt that he makes videos about Gravel looking not as intelligent as he is. I'd vote for Gravel if he had a chance (and if I was of age). It's not that I don't like Gravel. I just don't like politics I guess because it seems like most of the time, people end up saying bad things about each other or making each other look a way that they aren't. Why did you make this video? What was the purpose?

He did this because he was given no airtime or anything, plus he does these videos but they aren't his ideas. The Rock video, this one, and all others werent his idea. They were just artistic videos made to get his face known.
If you want him to talk about the issues, then read his book, or watch his other videos during the debates, or during many interviews.

This is incredibly disrespectful. People with integrity, people like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, etc, would never insult a colleague like Mr. Gravel does. It's not funny, it's just sad that he feels he has to resort to this.

Insult?
What insults are contained in this video? Further, Joe Biden has insulted Senator Gravel on several occasions, some of which are on video here on YouTube.
Senator Obama made the ultimate insult by not defending Senator Gravel's right to debate.

Obama is a false hope, LOOK UP his voting record in the senate, he's no different than McCain-Bush or Hillary as he claims to be.
iCitizenPow3r 3 years ago 2
- He voted to Re-Authorize the Patriot Act.
- He voted to keep funding the Iraq War.
- He voted to keep impeachment 0ff the table.
- He is supported and mostly financed by AIPAC, so his foreign policy towards the middle east wont be different than Bush's.
- Obama (as McCain and Hillary) is beating the drums for war with Iran and we saw that in his speeches @ AIPAC.
- Obama supported the recent Israel invasion of Gaza that led to the deaths of hundreds of children.

tworadley 3 years ago
No, the people never really had a chance to decide. Gravel was censored from debates. He needed a fair shake but was instead taken off the stage so NO, PEOPLE DID NOT DECIDE...the media decided and the Democratic party acquiesced. There's a big difference.
gravelin08 3 years ago 2
You can blame his loss on the media all you want, but the truth is he wasn't included in debates because less than 1% of the democratic party gave a damn about what he had to say, and they stuck to the candidates that the people cared about. This is NOT media censorship, it is merely chosing not to waste time!

Oooo, hey there twit.
Who ever said that Gravel endorsed Barr? He hasn't endorsed anyone, nor does he plan to. Though he does endorse Libertarian ideals. You know, the classic liberal ones :-)
Barr's track record is about as miserable as you can get. I don't trust him. Don't expect many Gravel constituents (or self-respecting Libertarians) to vote for him.
PS - Gravel's campaign is over. Too bad he still has a stronger, livelier web presence WITHOUT a campaign than Barr ever will.

Barack Obama will not bring this war to an end. He hasn't done anything to end it in the Senate, and he certainly won't do anything as President.

Millions of Americans are voting for him to end the war, his whole campaign is based on it, he cannot not end the war there will be too much opposition...
I hate some of his votes aka ~The patriot act but compared to McCain or Hillary he will at least deliver something...
