Mike Gravel shut-out of tonight's Chicago debate

except to see them sweat in the 100 degree heat index wearing suits under studio lights. oh crap, i hope hilary's makeup doesn't start to run.
watch ron paul on fox news last night. he talks about spooky al-quaeda, alex 'the showboat' jones, 9/11 was not a 'conspiracy theory' (huh?), we should be allowed to carry weapons across state lines to visit relatives (ok, but why? oh yeah, the super-scary coming to a city near you soon police state), blah, blah, blah...i don't know about this guy

I had to truncate Kate's link to get it to load to this:

I'm not sure that I can believe Gravel's explanation about the questionaire. Regardless, obviously the PTB want the pesky second tier candidates out of the way because it distracts from the big players circus acts of flame throwing and sword swallowing.

It's a shame that Gravel won't admit that Social Security is totally voluntary in the first place. He knows that to be the case. They all do. At least he gave an honest warning about the prospects for future Social Security payments to a 49 year-old. That's all they will do is warn. Then when the shit hits the fan, they can say that they warned us.

I caught a little of the debate, what I find amazing is that when the blabbermouths keep talking after the bell, their mikes aren't cut. After about five minutes, I couldn't take any more. There is no doubt in my mind that they are are criminals.

As an aside, I'm glad to be able to load the blog again RT. Earlier today, I was continually getting redirected to a domain reseller.
