You know.. isn't it to bad he didn't play the game different. I mean, all he really had to do was play the part, and just keep his ideals. I mean really, if he got he publicity that Obama or McCain did, i think he would have been president today.
I have to admit... I liked Gravel from the get go... as he seems to be for the people and takes the time to address the issues that affect us all by being real and up-front - Blunt and backs it up with fact as well as fortitude! I only wish Main Stream Media would give him the attention he deserves for his past efforts and reality check - he's no BS'er!
I Like Mike! He's the real deal, a tough courageous man who has kept your kids from being drafted to fight these so-called "wars", that are not being fought for our country, but are being fought for the corporate interests.
If you loved Mike Gravel, you wouldn't vote for a religious fanatic like Ron Paul who thinks church-state separation is unconstitutional and that the responsibility of providing social services like education should be handled by religious groups.
I know he's religious but I've never heard him say anything like that-- in fact, quite the contrary. Do you have any sources for this, any links or anything I could look up? If so, I would be interested.
He's written frequently on the subject. Consult the article's he's written--"The War on Religion" and "Faith-Based Socialism", for example. He clearly lays out his plan for an America in which the churches "eclipse the state" in power.
I'll definitely check that out. I can't believe I'd miss something like that. Well, I liked Gravel better anyway. I hope he works his charm and logic on the country.
Gravel is the guy who made the best changes in America of my generation. This interview shows the huge difference between him and the MSM, DNC oriented prime candidates who don't get action. Only Gravel will do what needs to done- He did it before!
Go to face book and vote for gravel on their pole. If you don't have an account just sign up so you can vote. For every vote facebook donates to his campaign. Thanks!
Thanks To You For ANOTHER Informative video Of Mike Gravel,that makes sense and it to the point. I wish You well, I see Gravel and Paul are Truly Concerned for Our great Country.
Mike Gravel and Ron Paul would Make a GREAT Running Team!!! A Truly Bi-Partisan Team ;-)
why is is sick? seems he is doing as the constitution says he should. protect and defend the 3 civil liberty's guaranteed by such. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. If you think it is immoral then don't be gay. I figure God can sort it out, and until then I will treat them as I would have them treat me.
Your entitled to your opinion. I also remember the same comments being made about other groups in this country. Gravel doesnt want nor will pander to likes of a ignorant racist dog like you to get their vote. So blow away.
MR Mike Gravel is THE strong respectable voice in the USA. It is a real shame he does not have the money of Guliani or Hillary. I am for this honest candidate.
Fact is I have 2 choices to vote from. Mike Gravel or Micky Mouse. Because the rest on both sides are lying, low life, hypocrites. The U.S. Government today is dying of decay and the stench is killing us as well. Left wing, Right wing, IT'S ALL THE SAME BIRD.
I flipped Gingrich off on the steps of Capital Hill when he was speaker. Cap.Hill cops TRIED to get me to leave until they realized they were out of their league and I know MY RIGHTS. They left and I still stood there. I do not back this government and have not done so since the 1980 inauguration. But I will if Gravel gets elected.
@ mom8467: The democrats have damned them self. They didn't need help at it. They cash in on the war and our shitty health care system as well. And they forget that as a Senator, Congress, or President, they are PUBLIC PEONS that are OUR Employees. Read the Constitution! It was written so 1 man CAN make a difference.
uhh, i think this guy is trying to use gravel to smear the democrats. even if it is deserved, i is obviously trying to help the republicans (the worse of two evils, i guess).
He didn't read all of the papers but he did get them put into record in an ingenois way. (srry can't spell) I Love Mike's "Politics as usal" = Bullshit code phrase. (to make that more clear i'm saying Mike is saying today's politcians just say BS)
I HOPE HOPE American people are smart enough to see his man as the next president of United States, picking somebody else would just be plain masochistic.
I really like both Mike Gravel and Ron Paul. I'm sick of having to pick between "the lesser of two evils", I want to pick between the greater of two goods! I personally lean more towards Ron Paul, but I don't rule out Mike Gravel. I just can't take anymore American politics as usual. For once in my life, I need a leader I can believe in.
Any man who stands up against the Demolican/Republicrat machine MUST be commended! I'm for Ron Paul, since I am an Independent with Libertarian leanings. However, I agree with Gravel about this sham war.
Actually, Biden's plan doesn't address the private army that would be left behind. As for guts, I greatly resprect Gravel's courage when he ended the Draft and released the Pentagon Papers (classified intelligence papers that revealed the government falsified the case for the Vietnam War). He's been hunted by the government and taken to court by Nixon. You don't draw that kind of heat by being a pansy.
Two candidates who voted to authorize the war in Iraq (Hillary and Edwards) now plan to team up probably against the real anti-war candidates (Obama, Biden, Gravel and Kucinich).
Scheming Hillary is clearly only concerned about winning.

yeah...who the hell do they think they are...the cheating sellouts....one guys worried about his hair and the other womans worried about her theme song...no wonder so many americans are dead....
im donating for gravel....as many times as it will take.......this man needs to be heard....
gravel apparently has only raised $35,000...i dont know when this was updated...but really, this should be a wakeup call for all of us....if anybody in america deserves our money, its this man...
Joe is the man. i love how he doesn't patronize gravel and ron paul when they come on. rather, he cheers them on. This is great to see happening in the mainstream media. now if only CNN and Fox had the balls to do that.
This guy Joe is trying to use Mike to beat up on the Demoblicans, but that's fine with me. They richly deserve it, and all of us Americans need to see more of Mike. It might even force the Demoblicans to take up the US Armed Forces Withdrawal From Iraq Act.
I'd rather have Ron Paul for a serious reduction in Federal power but if it came down to it and Ron Paul doesn't make the primaries I'd vote either of them over any other Republican. Though I'd vote some Republicans over Hillary.
And don't forget to add a comment or two! Thanks for sending this gmfutube. The dream ticket appears to be Ron Paul / Mike Gravel. I think America just might win that way -- no matter which way the election goes. No one else currently in (or thinking of entering) the race inspires me as much as these TWO candidates! Hedge your bets people. I'm a diehard and very loyal Ron Paul fan (and I'm a former Dem), but I urge everyone to also consider Mike Gravel on the Democratic side.
You know.. isn't it to bad he didn't play the game different. I mean, all he really had to do was play the part, and just keep his ideals. I mean really, if he got he publicity that Obama or McCain did, i think he would have been president today.
