That's right, he's another presidential candidate. People, just say no to Mike. I don't care what his politics are, I don't care that he's old enough to be McCain's grandpa. The reason you should vote for any candidate BUT Mike Gravel is that he actually thinks he's a legitimate choice. The pure idiocy that thought implies is not a good characteristic in a head of state.

Even though his website does not state it outright, I think it's clear that Gravel is a toolbag. On his site, in a "Personal Message from Mike," he says, "Today, I am announcing my plan to join the Libertarian Party, because the Democratic Party no longer represents my vision for our great country." Because his vision for this great country is to destroy it by becoming our president.

Be honest with yourself Gravel. You didn't drop the democratic party because you don't agree with them. You dropped the democratic party because you realized there was less chance of you beating Clinton and Obama for the democratic ticket than of the Twins going all the way. Knowing that you lied about your reason for being a Libertarian (which sounds made up anyway), how can I trust you to be president?

Besides, Libertarian also contains the word "arian," which is a heretical teaching that "Christ was not God like the Father, but a creature made in time" (from the catholic encyclopedia). And everyone knows that if a word contains a smaller word, that smaller word is obviously the root word. Case in point: Kate contains the word "ate." Eating is at the root of who I am, therefore I have proven my theory.

So, if you are looking for a heretial liar, or a good way to piss off your parents and throw away your vote, you now have one more valid choice. Enjoy!
