Miguel Gravel is alright in my book. I don''t blame him. the democrats and the republicans are dishing out more of the same old ***. The country is sick of politics as usual. Obama is a breath of fresh air but Hillary is trying hard to make sure he doesn''t win in November. She knows she can''t get the nomination but she wants to take Obama down with her so she can run again in 2012. It''s a shame she is such a MONSTER.

Maybe Mike Gravel will go away and shut up after this year.

But a bad penny he is so who knows?

You need to read "Liberal Fascism" which is just out this year.
That will correct your gross misconceptions about which American Political party is more closely aligned with Fascism.

Poor Mr. Gravel...

Before running for President, few people had ever heard his name. After running for President, few people have ever heard his name.

Now he''s leaving the Democratic Party? Even fewer people care.

You got your 15 minutes, Mike. Now go away.

Walt, Do a little research. Fascism is government control of private enterprise. Exactly what Hillary and Obama are proposing. Don''t mind you attacking the Republicans but don''t give them credit for what they''re not.

There has been a big debate about creating a 3rd party that would oppose the other 2 parties and would really represent the WILL OF THE PEOPLE, instead of the will of corporate America and/or special interest!

I would support such an idea and argue that there is room in the political system for a 3rd party. As it is, what alternatives do you have: a neocon Fascist Nazi Republican party that has changed the government from a democracy to a Fascist state, or a Whimpo-cratic Democratic Party that can''t get its act together, can''t find a backbone, and is just as thick with the lobbyists and special interests as the Fascist Nazis are!

The Founding Fathers of this country must be shaking their heads in Political Heaven and thinking we are all CRAZY!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil (more of the same), McCain????

I wish Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul would do the same thing. The Demopublican Party of the Oligarchy is the scum of the earth...time for everyone who supports the Constitution and Liberty to leave their party in the dirt.

The libertarian party is the only party that will really protect and defend all of our constitutional rights.
Maybe that''s why they will never be given a fair shot in our two-party duopoly.
