Bullshit! Mike Gravel is more libertarian than Ron Paul!?! *lol* This is where you lost me Mike! You are a thief! You are trying to get a piece of a revolution that you did not create - you are attempting to get this whole movement behind you just by associating yourself with libertarians. I hate that! If Ralph Nader wouldn't be running for greens, Mike Gravel would! Here's a reading list for you Mike Gravel - Bastiat, Adam Smith, Mises, Rothbard, etc. Read up and study up! mises . org

Gravel is more progressive than libertarian. But as a progressive, I support Gravel because I don't think McKinney of the Green party would make a good candidate and voting for Nader just got boring (jk).

And in all honesty, both the Gravel supporters and the people that don't believe Gravel is a libertarian are both getting obnoxious. Let's have a nice discussion about why one likes/dislikes Gravel or whatever candidate one supports. That'd be more productive than bashing.

Completely true. I am tired of the "conspiracy theorist" label and the trolls that repeat it.

[paulfor08]

Ron Paul is a constitutionist more than a libertarian. He does not want to legalize abortion, gay marriage or drugs on a federal level because it is unconstitutional.

You Mike Gravel fans are never going to gain support if you keep bashing Ron Paul. My advice is that you be polite and build Mike Gravel up, not tear other candidates down.

Let's see... Ron Paul votes down nearly every spending bill, is usually one of few people to vote no on laws that violate civil liberties, advocates the dismantling of the IRS and the Federal Reserve, calls for a return to charity care instead of socialist health care, wants to decriminalize drugs, take the government out of marriage, wants to reduce our overseas presence, is against pre-emptive war, is for legalizing different currencies, wants to dismantle the FDA to allow self-medication...

look if you keep lying about shit I'm going to have to ban you. (1) Alex Jones didn't make Loose Change. (2) Ron Paul denied accepting any 9/11 conspiracy theory MULTIPLE TIMES. If conspiracy theorists chose Ron Paul, they're the ones who made the made the mistake.

I'll say it again so you understand. Stop spamming lies into my channel.

"Loose change" produced by Alex Jones. Alex Jones picks up after that trend faded and starts filling peoples heads with conspiracies then Ron comes and poses as the guy that's here to save us all from the conspiracies that Alex has been teaching people. Its so obvious it hurts. and the fact that you refuse to look at the facts just shows your unwillingness to actually stand up for yourself and your country.

see what I mean overmind?

cost of living is directly effected by gas prices. How do you heat your home? natural gas is California's main weakness. All our food is SHIPPED thats oil! cost of going to WORK - OIL. man you guys that are fighting Mike's bid are just clueless. Its really embarrassing that I have to explain to you these extremely obvious details. "inflation" is not the be all answer to everything.

[oldhacks]

How many times did he claim to live by Libertarian principles? every other word was Libertarian this Libertarian that. But yet here we are watching a Libertarian debate and where is he? He's in washington writing up ear marks for his buddies.

[egosumabbas]

He never promised to run as a Libertarian this year, in fact quite the opposite, so there was no word to break. Stop making shit up.

[egosumabbas]

I've provided several, don't be a douche.
