Gravel For President 2008

Dear Friend,
At this point, I have become accustomed to many trying to silence my message to the American people -- the plain, simple, uncompromising truth. Nor does it come as any great surprise that the mainstream media is now putting words in my mouth. Not kind words, but bold-faced lies. Thursday evening at New Hampshire headquarters, on the most frigid night yet this winter, my campaign staff was dumbfounded to watch MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann announce I had dropped out of the race.
With only days left to go until the New Hampshire Primary, Olbermann's report was news to me!

Fortunately, there is nothing further from the truth. I have no intentions of leaving this race, and will continue to bring my message to the American people. I brought this to the attention of Mr. Olbermann, and you can see video of him retracting his statement posted on my site, gravel2008.us (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001N-RG3kn3STIlGeWquOOOSLceVZEFZWB-s1XA1N042h7ch3nIO-GhNTL7Vpk2xW9RKaYB4lsCFMkklGEhHzCksFMgH77J1DC4gT7K ak8XK5Ey4XLFC95ONg==).

My schedule here in New Hampshire is full through primary day, and I will soon after be traveling to many other primary states. Nevada. Michigan. Florida. And beyond.
What message will I continue to share? It will include: Ending our corrupt, oppressive tax system. Making quality healthcare and education a basic, fundamental right for citizens. Ending our feverish addiction to oil and imperialist wars. Protecting our environment and precious ecosystems against short-sighted interests. Dismantling the military-industrial complex and our culture of fear. Not allowing those in power to exploit our fears and insecurities to their own gain, but building a society based on love and courage. Finally, I will continue to press for empowering the American people by enacting the National Initiative for Democracy.
I'm asking you today to help us turn the tables. New Hampshire is an opportunity for me to send a very pointed message to the media and those that might silence my message.

If you're in New Hampshire, please canvas for the day, hold signs at a busy traffic spot, or call up your friends and family who are still on the fence about who to support. If you're in New England, give our New Hampshire office a call, or join up with fellow supporters in the Granite State. The weather dipped to -15 degrees recently, but that has not chilled our spirit here.
Real change is not popular at first. It is not a soundbite you can digest in 30 seconds. It's gritty and raw and is going to upset some people. I have never shied away from a fight! Two decades ago Nixon wanted to throw me in jail for telling the American people the truth about Vietnam. Today I have been the first candidate to speak out against the dangers of war with Iran, and will continue to be the fiercest critic of our destructive foreign policy.
It doesn't matter whether the media deems my views as "unpopular" or "dangerous." It's time to tell the truth, and it's time for America to wake up. Some might lament or opine that my candidacy won't be appreciated in its own time. I say, the year is now 2008, and this is the time to make it resonate.

I hope to see everyone in New Hampshire at the polls on Tuesday.

Gratefully,
Mike Gravel

I don't have to see, I can read mr. cnnumbers. He said that guy publicly retracted his statement in the message I quoted, but I still say fuck msnbc.

And at least I'll be able to say I didn't vote in Bareback Obanga (http://www.offramp.org/%7Elapis/images/pwned.jpg) or The Old Winch when\if those fucktards make office.

I don't really care, neither does the rest of the world, since we all know that either candidate is going to provoke WW3...Hillary will initiate the official "fight for shoes and freedom" campaign and Gore is going to do something to avoid C02 emission...launching a nuclear missile into the middle of China. :awesome:

You guys may think Obama's hot shit, but wait 'till the Southern Democrats vote for Edwards because he's the only candidate that isn't a colossal moron, minority, or Huckabee.

Is the south more racist or sexist? Or both? We'll see.
The South is far more racist (sorry, Southerners). I've been there, and I found a bathroom with an old "Whites Only" sign from the 50s.

I've never heard of Gravel, but apparently to everyone experience is more important. So their using that as an excuse to nominate/vote for Hillary Clinton just because she has Bill. What makes you think shes gonna listen to a cheating husband?...

I'm voting for Obama, and it's most definitely NOT because he's black. It's because he has good ideas (http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Barack_Obama.htm), and he's personable, and all the other candidates from both parties seem old and stale, while Obama is like a breath of fresh air. He's young and he's in touch with the young people too.
I was going to vote for Obama back a few months ago, I liked him, but I've realized he isn't a good candidate for presidency. He's too young and doesn't have enough Political history to make it as a President. I think he'd make a damn fine Vice president but only that, after a few more years in Washington, especially as a vice, then I think he could run and do a damn fine job. I just don't think he's got what it takes right now.

I think the opposite, I think he's been in Washington long enough, but isn't bogged down in the corruption and pessimism. I think that he's less of a politician and more of a leader than the other "more experienced" candidates. I think the country is tired of Washington and tired of all the crap; we're so far off where we need to be that having someone new and fresh is the only way to go.

Obama can go in either direction. There is really no way to tell. I agree with atty but I also think there's a possibility he could do great.

p.s. Hillary won primaries in New Hampshire. What the fuck is this shit. How stupid can people really be -_-

"I lost the Iowa primary guys, look at me cry, will you vote for me next time?"

Seriously, any candidate who does that, regardless of gender, should be voted out. Don't need that kind of crap running the country.

That was fucking lame as shit, yes, but it was also funny how the media called it "an emotional breakdown". She didn't even shed a tear.

Don't need that kind of crap running the country.As strange as it seems to some, the fact that she teared up actually makes her seem like more of a person than a stonefaced politician. That doesn't change the fact that I'm not voting for her, though.

In addition, if you'd actually read the news, she teared up after hearing enthusiastic encouragement from her supporters after losing the race.

I have the feeling preelection campaigns are oversized, overfinanced hypocritical marketing ads that try to be appealing to the largest amount of ppl possible. might be just me tough.

yay democrocy!I edited my post with some info you should read. She didn't cry because she lost, she cried after she heard enthusiastic support from a roomful of her supporters, even after a disappointing loss. Any woman would cry at that.
