- inactive, on 10/29/2007, -1/+2The man is running for president. We are more then a year away from the election. They will disregard him because they can, and no one will hold them accountable. The same reason they can put Ron Paul, the only one with a unique message, winner of all their polls, and receiver of more then half of the total contributions from the military, on the end, ask him complex questions, and then actually enforce the 30 second answer period, and then immediately allow Rudy to retort, and explain why he was laughing like a jackass through it... meanwhile, Thompson, whose only reason for running can only be that he will have different owners then Rudy McRomney, says the same ***** as the rest of them, and after just becoming a candidate is put right in the middle where they go to him every other question, and open & close the show with him. It's because they can. Sure, it's a pain in the ass that we have to complain, and demand that our "news" outlets actually report the news, rather then spread propaganda. I don't want to complain about the exclusion of Gravel, well, because I am lazy, and my activism is normally reserved for pro-liberty causes. However, at least for me, this hits home, because for as long as I've cared, I've put up with my candidates being assaulted, and turned away from "debates" knowing that if they were actual debates, and not advertisements, they would really offer the people something.
I personally don't think that there is much hope for someone like Gravel, who might normally get some support. Despite a lot of Gravel's socialist ideas that seem to be so popular these days, it seems to me that Ron Paul is really getting all the "disenfranchised" support. He shouldn't be ignored, though, and I will do what I can so that he hopefully isn't. - mkrfctr, on 10/29/2007, -2/+1Lets see, Ron Paul, Q3 money on hand; 5.4 Million Dollars. Mike Gravel Q3 money on hand; 0.017 Million Dollars. That's 17 thousand dollars folks. I don't see the correlation, do you?
- KMye, on 10/29/2007, -3/+1It's about the proper time for this to happen. Gravel has now had a reasonable opportunity to attempt to influence the greater discussion (as well as, of course, take his shot at the white house). If by now a candidate has not raised $1 million dollars, they are not a serious candidate. When it comes down to it, campaign contributions, while not ideal, are the best metric available for measuring popular support at this point in the campaign; the amount raised reflects not only special interest groups, but the general publics' as well.
