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!
I was thinking of Dennis Kucinich when I posted this story too. He'll fade away just like him.
