What is the purpose of this campaign at this point?

March 9th, 2008 by RobOnMV

I simply don't understand. I saw someone looking to get the Paul votes to boost your numbers. That's crazy. Take Pauls votes and anyone else besides Hillary and Barak and you still have next to nothing. Gravel is never mentioned, has no delegates and is simply not a factor in any way shape or form. So, I guess I am just curious as to why people to continue to support this man. He'll have zero impact in determining the presidency, vice presidency or any other position.

I can think of many other ways to make a statement or have an impact on this process other than this ship which isn't even sinking. It never left the dock.

Regards,

Who should we be supporting then exactly? Seriously. Should we support any candidate that does not agree with our views? That would not much of any impact would it? People voting for who can "win" is the reason our democracy is so screwed up.

To upset and annoy the status quo

If the collective American public is disturbed, it creates thought. If this election were to continue with just the "big 3", no thought would come of it. Another election would take place reticent of a Jr. high school class president vote (but with less representation at the debates) and no one would consider any of the ramifications or direction in which we are headed. Personally, I don't want to see someone get elected because they are a certain gender, race, or religion. It's time to get the public and the press to look beyond and start actuating. I guarantee that, at some point, you have spoken out about your own distaste in government today (personal party affiliation be damned). That being the case, you must also understand that others are doing the same. This candidacy enlightens those that are questioning the staus quo to the opportunities that could be. That's all.

Ask everyone you know if they can name all 3 Democratic candidates!

What is your purpose

RobOnMV,

What is your purpose for being here? You are not wanted here. Its just this kind of condasending and patronizing attitude from people like you, that we are sick of. If you are the guy from Op Ed News, I would ask you what happened to those so called progressive values you claim to support and want, because you know that neither Hillary nor Barack support them. If those two keep going the way the are, they will destroy themselves, then Mike will have a chance. This website here tells you what Gravel's campaign is about, can you tell us what Obama or Hilary are about?

Trolls.

Doesn't everyone just love the trolls that come and visit us?
You're obviously not a Gravel supporter, but you managed to take time out of your day to comment on the Gravel website. That in itself proves the message is getting out, to some extent.

Sen. Gravel is currently a Democrat running for the nomination, but he does have plans to run as an independent candidate.

One of Gravel's greatest

One of Gravel's greatest accomplishments this election season was knocking Hillary off of her pedestal. He was the first to do this when he challenged her on Kyl-Lieberman II.

But the main purpose of this campaign is to promote the Ni4D. And it's done that as much as it could.

We are getting the word out

We are getting the word out about the Ni4D. That is what this campaign is all about. I never expected us to win, and I think others feel the same way. This forum is for people who support Mike, so why are you here?
