lol did anyone else know that Mike Gravel switched over to the libertarian party?

[Clintonista2]

Thank god. What an embarrassment that guy was.

[FreeState]

1. I like Mike n/t

[Ian David]

2. Wish I'd known that before I bought the Mike Gravel '08 T-shirt. n/t

[mhastings]

3. Filibustering the draft and releasing the Pentagon Papers.

Yeah. What an embarrassment.

[Alexander]

7. He went from that to accusing Obama of wanting to nuke other countries.

Really too bad, but largely his doing.

[WeDidIt]

4. Libertarian - noun

[That Guy 888]

9. and...

2) A Democrat who hates poor people.


No reflection on Mike Gravel, just something I've heard before.

[BlueIdaho]

5. I always thought he was refreshingly honest! nm.

[Alexander]

6. Not surprised. He's pro-flat tax and always had a libertarian streak.

I don't know why people thought he was more liberal than Kucinich.

He's not - just more libertarian.

[Blondiegrrl]

11. I'm pretty sure he and Kucinich were the only Dem candidates who

fully support gay marriage. All the other candidates are "pro-civil union."

[barack the house]

8. Yeah he contested Bob Barr,. I think Gravel is a nice enough guy but he was no candidate for prez.>

Sing it Mike.->

10. Yes. I like him. True, he is a little flaky, but he has some good ideas.

He and Dennis Kucinich were really screwed over by the media during the primaries.
