Is Mike Gravel the Democrat's Ron Paul? http://www.boston.com/news/nation/a...r_debate_little_known_democrat_draws_a_crowd/
Whats interesting is that he is basically a DINO, since he supports alot of conservative positions such as the FairTax.
Aren't they all? Looks like it to me Pretty decent guy for a Democrat, I am sending him $200 to compensate for not being a registered voter. Except for his desire to fix healthcare and SS fund, the rest I agree with As expected, corporate media is hurrying up to ban him and Ron Paul from debates - http://www.nhinsider.com/press-rele...s-cnn-wmur-tv-and-union-leader-statement.html
His quote is pretty accurate. They use name recognition created by the establishment as an excuse to exclude people who aren't "viable." One reason why we don't get more real candidates. Of course, if they don't think you'll rock the boat too much, you get a shot, like Bill Clinton did.
