CBS: Going Ga-Ga For Gravel

The Gravel truth is the real inconvenient truth for the military-industrial complex...and is boys and girl... obama, edwards`s, giuliani, mcCain, hillary.

Go go ahead Gravel!

In response to MSNBC's slight of Sen Gravel I wrote to Chuck Todd (Chuck.Todd@nbcuni.com) and Marc Binder(mambinder@nationaljournal.com) who are in charge of there political coverage. I asked who they were to say the Gravel wasn't a legitimate candidate and why they were fighting on behalf of the so-called front runners, who I pointed out only held that position because the media keeps covering them at everyone else's expense. Here was the response from them "Ari,

I'll trump you in re: a personal response.

Here's our reasoning: It was a debate; instead of exchanging ideas and pressing points, Gravel resorted to ad hominem attacks. Frankly, his message was powerful enough without them. If you were Hillary Clinton, why would you put yourself in a situation like that?
Marc"
I have not yet responded, but I thought that in addition to my response, which will not be kind given that he basically said they are on Hilary's side (I mean why else would they care about her position), all of you might want to give these pundits a piece of your minds as well. Keep up the good fight. Things are already beginning to change.

I noticed over the weekend that Clinton, in her usual snarky sneaky way, is stealing Gravel's idea by now

<a href="http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2007/05/clinton_joins_b.html">Clinton's sneakiness</a>

(I don't know if the above link will turn out pretty, but read about Clinton's latest popularity move...)

Clinton voted for the Iraq war even though there were at least 21 senators with the same information she had, who opposed authorizing it at the time.

She's been a do-nothing follower until now, until after she's witnessed the insistent chant from the masses: GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW.

So in true sneaky pollster-driven fashion, she's co-opted Gravel's essential idea and expects us to herald her as our new savior. She has NO MORALS.

These supposed so-called "top-tier" Democrats, AKA spineless worms, make me SICK!

GRAVEL, you have my support! I've donated $500 and I want you to win! I wrote to those media hacks because I want your voice to be heard!

You're the only truth-teller out there!

BTW Eli, stay safe. I heard that the Army has clamped down to prevent soldiers from blogging or posting about Iraq.

Keep it simple...talk the truth!

Go ahead Gravel!

Best regards from Portugal

All your base are belong to us...

What? I'm only human. And that was so open for that.

Even if we should fail, let the ideals live on.

The internet is still untouched. A pioneer of sorts. We all have an equal chance and say on the internet. So this is good news! And they are watching. Its starting to show. Keep the work up Mike stick to your guns, and Mike's supporters keep up the great work on getting this word out.

Although it is certainly nice to have some attention from the likes of CBS, they are still missing the point.

The average Middle American is doing more with less and less each day. We see our jobs being shipped overseas, we watch as politicians talk of terrorism and yet the Chinese army could march across the border and not be seen, all the while granny is getting strip searched on her way to play black jack in Vegas. We are getting taxed into poverty which has risen for the 6^th straight year. We watch each fall when we are told that gas prices are going up because of winter fuel oil demand, only to hear them say in the spring that gas prices are going up because of the driving season.

Our children can barely string together a sentence in English or calculate the interest on their mortgages. They take their chances of getting shot to pieces just getting on a school bus each day only to get to school and be told they need to be medicated until they drool out of the corner of their mouth. Our youth are growing up in a world where we have become so politically correct that in some instances we can not keep scores in games for fear of hurting their feelings when they lose. Their first experience with the concept of accountability will be when they start their first McJob.

Meanwhile we watch our government take us to war without end, a perpetual war in which our President has taken great liberty with the liberties of the people. An unnecessary war that will continue to drain the life out of this nation and stain the desert crimson with the children of people that no longer have a say. We see them, the politicians, stand before us, polished and smug, talking about a people they no longer even know. So detached are they from the realities of most Americans lives that they still think the Middle Class own summer homes in San Diego.

When you in the press speak of “fringe”, you should be referring to the American people. Yes, Americans know what they want, we want our country back, we want a say and we want the truth. Those who are on the internet know already and this is most evident to anyone with a computer and soon to be known by those without. We are sick and tired of the same and more of the same from the department of redundancy department. To all you news types, to all you cookie cutter politicians, it is you who are on the fringes of the real America and we are going to vote you off.

This doesn't mean Gravel is going to move up in the polls. Many Internet sites are frequented by people with an anti-establishment, libertarian streak — the exact kind of people that are drawn to candidates like Gravel and Republican Ron Paul — but they don't make up a large chunk of the population.

Well they've moved from ignorance to ridicule pretty quickly, don't you think? They still think they can convince us that we don't exist by means of their polls. How amusing.

Mike Gravel... Hello...

I have been alerting people on other blogs that you are about to publish draft legislation to "Fund the withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq within sixty days of its passage, and to fund only that withdrawal", as you yourself proposed in an interview I read right here.

The sooner you are able to put that draft on your website the sooner we can all cut and paste it into emails and snail mails and send it to "our" Senators and Representatives demanding that they pass it.

This is not just our one and only way of expressing our desires and demands to the War Criminals in Washington DC in a concerted fashion, but by virtue of your having drawn up the draft it makes you the defacto leader of the antiwar movement and thence of the Democratic Party, as the fight to pass the legislation is realized.

We look forward to your victorius stride into the White House on 20 January, 2009, Mike Gravel. But we cannot wait until then to end the war. This war is an unholy holocaust that must end now.

Being the man who ended the war in Iraq is a very good argument for making you President of the United States.

I know that unlike the "top tier" Demoplicans you do not view a continuing war in Iraq as a political asset and a Republicrat liability.
