Mike Gravel is Now a Sexy Libertarian
It looks like the Democratic presidential candidate is going to be either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton...
...because Mike Gravel is out!
I know! And not only that, but he's jumping ship and attempting to run for the Libertarian party. Can you believe it? What a sad day for the Democratic Party...
"It is a party that combines a commitment to freedom and peace that can't be found in the two major parties that control the government and politics of America," Gravel said in a statement released late Tuesday by America's largest third party."My libertarian views, as well as my strong stance against war, the military industrial complex and American imperialism, seem not to be tolerated by Democratic Party elites who are out of touch with the average American."
Gravel then climbed inside the carcass of a grizzly bear he had recently slain and recommenced his ritualistic howling for a better America.

LAST COMMENT:
Mike Gravel is not a Libertarian. The Greens would be the party for the universal healthcare (payed for by a sales tax with "no cost" to you except the taxes you already payed), and carbon tax stances he has. He is a economic socialist who would use government to protect our rights, which by definition are privileges if the government can legislate regarding them. He is the run of the mill modern liberal progressive. His NI4D creates a direct democracy based on centralized federal government. Our republic was established to protect against that very thing. His stances, though sincere are unsound. Such a love of the State is not only un-Libertarian but irresponsible while his complete condemnation of the corporate monopoly is exactly what he wants to create with government.
