people in general need to make an effort to find out news from other sources than CNN/MSNBC/FOX etc. We know they're corporate owned, we know that corporations have the politicians in their pockets and we continue to trust them blindly. We shouldn't and that much is crystal clear.
I don't have access to much now because I'm typing this from my iPod, but I believe I first heard Mike musing about Obama's campaign funding. I'll see what I can find in the morning.
Alright, I may have misunderstood him. However, so many of these things I hear him project are socialistic, that I can't imagine him a Libertarian. In addition to some of the horrendous economic things he espouses, he suggests something closer to a direct democracy, which brings with it all the problems of faction and none of the protections of individual rights of a constitutional republic.

Of course Lieberman won his senate seat, and by a rather wide margin too.
