Mike Gravel speaks for me

Whaddya know, Dennis Kucinich isn't the only presidential candidate who has the guts to tell the absolute truth. Here's a link to a You Tube video highlighting former Senator Gravel at the Democratic debate held at South Carolina State. Someone really does have a "Straight Talk Express", but it sure as Hell isn't John McCain.

Wanna know how to get out of Iraq? Wanna know about nuking Iran? How about nuclear proliferation? Maybe something about the influence of the military-industrial complex? Or how about something you can really use, like the perfect response to the fools who say we can't leave Iraq because "our soldiers will have died in vain".

Don't ever shut up, Sen. Gravel, even though most of the other candidates treated your comments lightly. Like all the Republicans, some of the Democrats simply can't handle the truth.

rosecovered glasses- thanks for your comment. You have an interesting blog with a perspective made unique by your experience. You say that you expect an Enron-like collapse of our government.That sounds like we are going to take some really serious hits as citizens like the Enron employees did, but I certainly hope not.I feel, unlike you, that politicians,the right ones, can make all the difference. We need elected officials with enough courage to distance themselves from MIC influence, really legislate to negate lobbyist influence and to pass laws requiring public financing for all elections. Enough dedicated public servants can do this, if they can be found and elected.Also, if we had a foreign policy that wasn't based on world domination,the Mic wouldn't be so dangerous. Am I dreaming here?

In my opinion, Yes, your are dreaming. But we need dreamers as well as pragmatists.
