JFK warned us too..and "they" killed him as a result

Finally a man how speaks the truth maybe not what we want to hear but we sure needed it

Speaking of the concern of wasting votes, I think this is also due to the existing plurality as opposed to proportional election.

I'm not sure that I agree with everything he says, but he does have my respect.90% of politicians say what people want to hear.He seems willing to say what people need to hear.

Whose in Military Industrial Complex? Pretty much the entire Congress is. Gravel himself probably has ties w/it, although I'd hate to admit that. This is a campaign speech; statements which usually are at odds w/what a given cadidate will do once elected. Look at Obama who promised to end our involvement in Bush's wars, now ramping them up.
A good and recent book about the MIC is Nick Turse's 'The Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives' (Metropolitan Boooks 2008).

Who is the Military Industrial Complex? Names, LLC's, Lobbyists?

I'm pleased that he actually tackled the issues but he forgot Kennedy was on his way to ending the Cuban embargo and was trying to end the cold war. Furthermore by singing bill 263 he would have withdrawn the few troops and and left just advisors in Viet Nam. But he was snufffed out and the first thing LBJ did was reverse bill 263.
