Mike Gravel can advocate for the most unpopular ideas he likes, because -- like Nader and Kucinich -- he has zero risk of actually being called upon to try to get them implemented.

Mike says that he is proud of "his work on the Trans- Alaska Pipeline" but what does he have to say about the fouling of the environment around the oil production facilities on the North Slope of Alaska, the oil companies delaying and under-reporting spills, lack of proper disposal of waste (barrels of toxic waste piled up on the tundra), and leaks in the said pipeline. Is he proud of that? Where does Mike stand on the issue of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and in environmentally sensitive areas in NPR-A (such as Teshekpuk Lake)? These are the tough questions that must be answered, then voters will have the whole story about Mike's qualifications as a "green candidate."

"I want to change our system of revenue from an income tax to a sales tax."  This is friggin' excellent.  It's time that the big spenders in this country be the ones who pay for our military - not the little guys.  After all, isn't it the rich that our military is protecting?

Congrats to Gravel for putting these ideas on the table.  I'm glad he's at least being noticed.

I'm not an engineer, I'm not a scientist. But I'm told it's not a big deal to tweak gas stations so that you can come up with a truck, dump the liquid hydrogen in there, and pump it in your car. So we shift everything over to liquid hydrogen and there's no more pollution.

Mike Gravel says it best:  He's not an engineer nor is he a scientist.  Then how the hell can he spout anything about liquid hydrogen (hallucinations) and simply pump it into your car?

Gravel is herein intensifying more disinformation concerning the diversionary ruse of hydrogen.  I guess he's never heard of a hydrogen bomb before?  

He and others like Gov. Arnie don't understand anything concerning the science involving the tiniest atom - H is number one on the atomic chart of elements because it is the smallest atom.  And one of the most explosive.

When I read the "positions" of Clinton and Obama, and even more so the Republicans, I want to give up (but would not).  They are aiming for 40mpg average by 2020 (and less ambitious for the Republicans) - that is too little, too late!  Mike Gravel speaks straight and actually makes sense.  I am not so sure he is right about hydrogen coming into its own so quickly, but he also want wind power... with that we could jump to batteries, and maybe hydrogen later.

This guy has been a doer for his whole life, even more than Al Gore (whom I deeply respect).  I want to wipe the cr*p off my shoes from all the other candidates who are promoting more of the usual empty and inadequate so-called action, and vote instead for Mike Gravel (I would have looked closely at Kucinich as well if he were still running).  Enough lies - vote for honesty and insight.
