Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Long-shot presidential candidate Mike Gravel told supporters Wednesday he is leaving the Democratic Party to join the Libertarian Party. Gravel, a former Democratic senator from Alaska, said in an e-mail that the Democratic Party "no longer represents my vision for our great country." In an email, he wrote, "It is a party that continues to sustain war, the military-industrial complex and imperialism - all of which I find anathema to my views."

Gutless pussy.

Gravel a Libertarian? I don't know. I guess not all Libertarians think alike, but I am not sure I would consider him a Libertarian. If he was the LP nominee, I would have to know more about what his plans are.

A gutless pussy beats a pussyless gut.

Sign o' the times.

Be Well.

Gravel is on the road and in the ditch.

Yeah, sign of the times Spud, the Libertarian Party is attracting people from both right and left to its ranks. If all the major parties can do is laught it off, then so be it. That's their mistake.

Oh, fear the great Libertarian juggernaut! Beware, Demoncrat and Rethuglicans! The will of the people is mighty, and their judgement will be meted out upon you! Yea, verily, there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth! Get thee behind me, Cheney! Only the more-evolved Libertarians can right this ship of state!

"Oh, fear the great Libertarian juggernaut! "

Yeah, did you know that they are America's 3rd largest party? Which is kind of like saying a mice is the 3rd largest animal next to an elephant and a giraffe.

That's like saying they're the third largest satellite radio network.

"animal next to an elephant and a giraffe"

giraffe=donkey;-)

Well, why don't we just merge the GOP and Dem, after all, they are both about the same on the issues, more war, more spending, more regulations, etc.

Heard someone say this the other day and it made me laugh:

"Libertarians are Republicans who smoke pot"

Don't worry, Null Set is a grammatical juggernaut. He'll crush you with his word power!

You know, considering the condition that Democrats and Republicans have put America in, I wouldn't mind being in the minority next to them.

Well, at least I may have another option to "waste" my vote on when the "legitimate" parties nominate a couple of pro-war corporate whores like McCain and Clinton.

I have a lot of respect for Mike Gravel but he ain't no Libertarian and I should know cause I am a bona fide Lib.

It'd be better if he formed a new party cause I agree he doesn't fit into the Democratic Party mold since other than his proposed one-size-fits-all-single-payer national health care plan he's not Socialist enough to compete with the other Dems.

"Libertarians are Republicans who smoke pot" -American Unity

Actually, I use to hear it said that hippies are pot smoking republicans, as they USE to be about shrinking the government (a former republican trait) and doing away with regulations. It's sort of funny that most modern and former hippies are so associated with the democratic party.

I like Mike Gravel. He's not a libertarian, but he's certainly a good and honest politician. I hope more democrats start thinking more like him. If the Democrats were more like Gravel and the Republicans more like Paul we might have a functional nation that is dead set on throwing money away and bullying other countries for no real good reason.

I'm not surprised. Gravel espouses a lot of Libertarian beliefs and respected a lot of what Ron Paul was campaigning on. He seems like a good man and a good addition to the party.

How about a Paul-Gravel third party run? Better yet, Gravel-Paul herm

I thought that commercial he did where he tosses the rock in the pond was pretty cool.

If you were a libertarian you wouldn't be demanding handouts, as in "gimme a scotch". You can buy your damn scotch, just like everyone else.

I see this as good news! Now if Clinton and Obama would just move to the Democratic Socialist Party and let McCane have the Democratic party things would be a little more in order. Follow my plan and all wil be right with the world. Deviate in the slightest and we're screwed!

Perhaps it's

"Hey bartender, gimme a scotch. Neat."

Then he hands him some money. Does that work for you?

AXIOM

I heard someone say the other day Libertarians are Republicans who smoke pot. Is that true? :-)

"How about a Paul-Gravel third party run? Better yet, Gravel-Paul herm"

Paul is really more of a Constitutionalist than a Libertarian. It's more likely a Root/Gravel ticket as it seems Wayne has this thing wrapped up.

Paul is really more of a Constitutionalist than a Libertarian.

Umm.. Libertarians believe very strongly in the Constitution as Paul does.

Axiom - correct on "gimme a scotch". Whatsleft is boofing.
