I thought almost every politician did that.

Unfortunately most of them do because unfortunately that is what gets most of them elected. There are a few though that are consistent in what they stand for such as Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel.

It's just too bad the majority of voters go with the person that tells them what they want to hear instead of the person that tells them what they need to her.

shamefully *discard this immediately. Mike Gravel deserves better than this though. The man that filibustered for 5 months straight to end the Vietnam war draft really deserves to be honored more.

Good video, but why the hell isn't "Mike Gravel" in the tags? He is one of the best democratic candidates, too bad he doesn't stand a chance.

Thanks for the extra clip Aemaeth.

They successfully shut out Mike Gravel from the Democrat party... now they are focusing on shutting out Dennis Kucinich. The only two candidates in the democrat party with genuine integrity that refuse to pander and are not members of the CFR are being excluded.

America is being spoon fed illegitemate partisan same old politics.

It might be a good time for a RevoLution.

That ain't cool. RP has plenty of quality videos and there is no reason to hijack a Gravel video. The message is what counts...hopefully ryan34 will change this to the original source.

Just thought I'd mention that this video isn't the original. The original is a pro Mike Gravel video, this just put a slide saying RonPaul2008 over the end.

Here is a link to it if you would like to see it and the discussion associated with it.

That was pretty cool, Kucinich is the only good Democrat candidate left now.

It's too bad that they pushed Mike Gravel from the debates, that man was awesome to watch.

They don't give any evidence, they just say there is evidence.
The media is a group of corporations doing anything they can for money. This does not result in the best way to educate the masses, this just results in giving people what they want. What bothers me about Chomsky always complaining about this, is that he is supposed to be somewhat of a libertarian, MEANING, he should respect that the market decides the product, not a single group or person deciding what the masses should be told. If a media organization is not giving the people what they want, then they will not last, something else would take their place. It's not the best way to educate the public, but any other way would mean there would be some asshole like Chomsky telling people exactly what they should feel.
This is why you can not complain about certain candidates not getting on the air. They are trying to put whatever is popular on the air, to receive the best ratings, judging by the polls. It's not as if the media has decided to avoid Ron Paul or Mike Gravel because of their politics, it's that they are not a good source of revenue (or for Ron Paul until recently)

Mike Gravel is also rather belligerent and whiny during these debates. Not to mention lacks the ability to string his thoughts together in anything of a coherent manner. He was interesting at first when he damn near seemed like he was going to rip his own arms off during the debates, but that died off rather quickly. Quite frankly I'm glad he gets as little time as he does.

I wish Mike Gravelle had a chance.
though I'd rather see this Perot 2.0 over any of the asshole dubya 2.0 bastards like Gulianni.
