why dosen't he just drop out?

[gravel2008]

Why?

Because there needs to be one Democratic candidate on the side of peace, not war.

[DRp350]

Ron Paul wants to start a revolution in this country! He wants to give less power to the government and more to the people, and make the US dollar worth gold instead of tender.

Now tell me, does this guy believe in helping the people and hurting his stand base? And does he really think "He" can aprove marijuana by himself?

[gravel2008]

Mike Gravel literally wants to give the people the power.

Ron Paul has no such plans. He loves his representative government.

Gravel!!! Gravel!!!! Gravel!!!! Gravel!!!!

I hope everybody supporting him is putting their money where there mouth is. I'm sending as much as I can spare and am trying to spread his message.

[PersonalJesus348]

no. Not Liberal Ron Paul. Liberal Mike Gravel.

He's never adopted others style of politics. Because others styles are usually what led to corruption.

For example. Mike Gravel had said that he looked up to a senator in congress. And when he started doing policy changing rhetoric thinking he was paying homage to this senator. The Senator snapped back and said "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Don't rock the boat!". Mike Gravel then said that since that day he never admired anyone in congress.

according to me and my collegiate standards, Wikipedia is NOT a credible source......... try doing your research based one someone who has actually accomplished something.. like a scholar maybe? the local library?

[sophieadd]

My bad... I meant pro choice. I was thinking of abortion and of the capital punishment all at once :)

Although Wikipedia isn't exactly a great source of exact information, you are right, Gravel is indeed pro choice... Not pro life.

I'll never get used to those terms... To me, pro choice is also pro life as the right to choose doesn't equal death but freedom. Anyway, my opinion...

[tyrannic1da]

According to Wikipedia, he's not pro life:

Gravel in principle does not object to the use of embryonic stem cells for medical research purposes. He is avowedly pro-choice on the issue of abortion and women's reproductive rights.

[tyrannic1da]

He's pro life?!

[EvolutionRules4ever]

Go Gravel!

[sophieadd]

From what I gathered, Gravel oppose torture and death penalty. He believes in universal health care. He supports same sex marriage and is big on the glbt's rights. He's pro life and doesn't oppose embryonic stem cell research. That's all I need to know personally.

Go Mike Go!

I guess that Canadian and American values are quite different when it comes to politics. I look at McCain, Obama and Clinton and I don't see them winning any Canadian elections... For the record, I'm neither red or blue. Gravel's family is french canadian by the way. I had no idea.

[sophieadd]

I know I'm such a reject which is why I'm happy not to be American and to have to vote next November... Now that my favourite democrat candidate is out of the race, I'm rooting for Mike Gravel! For the record, my favourite democrat candidate was Kucinich. Yes... Reject, i know... I didn't know much about Gravel at first.

Wow, I am a Ron Paul supporter, but have just discovered Mike Gravel and want to know more. So, far, I'm very impressed! We need more people like these Gravel and Paul.
