Yup, he'll go far. A true nobody who everyone in the country has NEVER heard of. Out of the public eye for 26 years and he expects to become President?

It appears that the former Senator is a supporter of Holocaust denial...

"A prominent former United States Senator, Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), appeared as a speaker at the June 2003 conference of a Holocaust-deniers' publication, The Barnes Review."

President Gravel?

Despite his craggy profile, Americans would never elect someone with a heart of stone.

???How can a total nobody have enough ego to spend money to think he is qualified to be President???

Is this just a rip-off of his supporters to fund his personal bank account, or moonbat delusion??

Just think, Barney Rubble could be his Secretary of the Interior, Fred Flintstone the Secretary of Labor, Mr. Slate as the Secretary of Commerce, and Bam Bam could be the Defense Secretary...

I remember when he was first elected to the Senate in 1968. He was a Young man of 39 and defeated Senator Ernest gruening the father of Alaska statehood in the primary. He was really a nobody in the Senate in one bizarre incident he nominated himself for Vice President at the Dem convention in 1972( I guess he still has Potomac Fever). He was not respected and was soundly defeated by Frank Murkowski in 1980.

Here is what i wrote on my blog...


Mike Gravel must be Stoned


Democrat announces for President, '08

Leaving no stone unturned, Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) has announced he is running for the 2008 democratic nomination for president... yes, already!

Apparently he thinks he is a McGovern redux with his stance against the war in Iraq and that this stance will make him "special" amongst the Democratic field. But, he is worse than McGovern in many ways, which is GOOD for the GOP. One of his past pet ideas, for instance, was a "citizen's wage", a guaranteed annual income of $5,000 a person mandated by the Federal Government regardless whether that person had a job or not.

He was a senator from Alaska from 1969 until his defeat in 1980 . Gravel nominated himself for the Vice Presidency at the Democratic national convention in 1972, which is amusing since such nominations are done by others, not the candidate. There is also some evidence that he spoke before a Holocaust-denier's organization in 2003.

Yes, this is an "A" number one nut job, folks, and we could but pray that his is the face the Democrats put forward in this time of war!

To vote Democratic is voting to lose the war, raise your taxes, and destroy the economy and this guy would lead that charge. I only lament that he will be laughed at as much as, if not more, than was Dennis Kucinich. Unfortunately, it is doubtful whether the Democrats will reveal their true stance against our security by running someone as anti-war as this nut-job.

But, I want to here announce that I am supporting Mike Gravel's run for the Democratic nomination for president for 2008!

GET STONED WITH GRAVEL, MAN!

He must think Kerry and Hill don't stand a chance of getting the nomination. Wide open field and he's getting in early.
