It was very sad to see Montel sign off for the last time today. I have a great deal of respect for him and I think a lot of people do. He has preached personal responsibility; opened peoples eyes to political, social, and personal problems. He has shown us the face of human perseverance through tragedy. Sure he also had a bit of fun with less relevant topics but for the most part, his show has been a beacon of information. I must say I'll miss not seeing a new episode of the show on a daily bases.

If it seems like his announcement for the shows end was abrupt, it's because it was. Before I go on lets get the facts clear, CBS Distribution canceled the show after multiple major market Fox stations decided not to renew his contract for the 2008-2009 season. There has been speculation as to why his show is going off the air so suddenly. The most popular one has to do with his appearance on Fox & Friends, January 30, 2008. He was brought on to talk about the tragic death of actor Heath Ledger. When he was asked for his thoughts he turned the table of them and instead talked about how ridiculous it is for them and other news programs to cover the tragic death of this young man and not even mention the fact that approximately 28 men and women had died that month so far in Iraq and not one mention of a name. The very people who fight for us and do their job so that we all can sit here starring into our computer screens get a 5 second slot of "15 soldiers died today in a tragic road side bombing in Iraq" yet they spend half the news cast talking about Heath's death? Whether you think the wars are right or wrong is completely irrelevant, these soldiers put their asses on the line for us.... all of US, and that demands respect. Period.

I think this theory makes tons of sense. A sudden announcement of the ending of his show after this event on Fox & Friends, I highly doubt its a coincidence. Montel is one of the highest rated shows on TV, why would they cancel a high rated show? Right? So all I have to say to the Fox stations who made this possible is F you. F you for doing a disservice to the American people by continuing to make the tragedy's happening in the Middle East a 5-10 second snippet on your broadcasts, F you for canceling Montel for speaking truth to power, and F you for keeping the American people blind. I don't want any of the news casters or web people to think I'm talking about them, I know you guys don't get to choose what goes on the air and what doesn't. I'm talking to the wannabe producers in the back making all the decisions to put crap on the program instead of substance.

I wish Montel the very best and I hope he doesn't go away. I look forward to seeing what he does in the future. Thank you Montel for everything, for the laughs, the tears, and most of all for the knowledge. You will be missed.

P.S. Here is the video of the Fox & Friends incident:

The Stagecouch Country Festival is May 2nd in Indio, California and I'm going! I saw an advertisement for it on a OCTA bus on the way to school at 6:30am. I was listening to John Fogerty's live album Premonition when I saw that bus next to me read "Eagles and John Fogerty..."! I'm ashamed to admit that I wanted to read the rest so bad that I just stared at it while coming to a stop at the red light. I found where it read, "Indio, Ca on May 2nd" and turned around just in time come to stop myself from hitting the truck in front of me! Yeah I know, stupid, I was mad at myself for being so dumb. But that soon went away when I realized holy crap, two of my all time favorite classic rock artists are preforming together and I MUST go! That very second I decided I was going, there was no question. When else can you see The Eagles and John Fogerty perform at the same show?!?!

The other bands performing are on the flier I have attached to this blog. I'm not really interested in the other acts myself but I'll give them a shot. Michelle Branch is a talented gal though, that should be cool. Oh yeah and Shooter Jennings is going to be there too! Ok so maybe there are two other's I'm interested in seeing but you know what I mean.

I can't wait! I've been wanting to see The Eagles, and John Fogerty for sooooo long! I just never did because it's so damn expensive to see them on their tours (upwards of $200-$300)!

I'll post a blog about this after the show. It's going to be a great night of Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Fogerty's solo music all live!

So I was watching this film on Christianity and homosexuality. A fellow Mike Gravel supporter on MySpace posted the video as one of her bulletins. It's a great film by the way if you guys would care to watch it you can find it at the following address, but I warn you its almost two hours long and does have graphic content (as in death, not gay sex or anything):

http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=8079306
618277312330&autoplay=1

What an inspiring film, truly! I told myself, I'll watch some of the film and watch the rest in the morning if it catches my interest. And boy did it catch my interest, I ended up staying up late watching the whole thing. What an insight to what different Christians believe. This film does a great job at making the subject feel personal. I don't want to talk to much about the film because that would just take too long. What I did want to talk about are the powerful words that Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa had to say at the end of the film. These words really hit me like a ton of bricks. Something to, if anything else, simply get you thinking a bit. He stated;

"I can't for the life of me imagine god would say, 'I will punish you because you are black, you should have been white. I will punish you because your a women, you should have been a man. I punish you because you are homosexual, you ought to have been heterosexual.' I can't for the life of me believe that is how God sees things"



I just thought to myself, wow... This man has a heart of gold. He's also a nobel peace prize laureate. For those of you who may be wondering why I'm even interested on the subject, it's really quite simple. I'm a strong supporter of Civil Rights and I know that there is plenty of work that needs to be done still. the battle didn't end with Dr. King. Also, for my gay and lesbian friends. Lastly, because I feel they deserve all the rights we have as heterosexuals. No homosexual should be treated like a second class citizen and currently, thats exactly how they're treated.

So my questions to you are the following:

How do you feel about homosexuality?
What do you think about Archbishop Tutu's statement?
Do you support gay marriage (Religious and/or government institution)?

And if you actually watch the film, what did you think about the film?

Side Note: Archbishop Tutu was actually in San Francisco during the protests of the Olympic torch supporting pro-Tibet protesters. But he was actually there to speak to a LGBTI group to apologize on behalf of his Church for ostracizing them.

So I've noticed a lot of you "alternative" or "underground" music fans here like a lot of Industrial Metal (Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, NIN, etc.). I'm personally not a big fan of Manson but I love Rob & White Zombie, NIN, and Rammstein. And so I thought maybe I'd give you guys a heads up on a few little known bands in that style who I think are great. Well... one really.


Hanzel und Gretyl is a New Jersey band who write music in this style and do it very well in my opinion. Some of you might not like it even if you like the bands I mentioned because they are very much heavier than any of those other bands. They just came out with a new album called 2012 Zwanzig Zwoelf. Yeah they also have a Germen theme going like Rammstein, exept Rammstein really is Germen lol. I recommend you guys check them out if your into this type of music.

Ahh screw it I'll recommend two more bands that are also great!

The first is Scum of the Earth which is a band started by Mike Riggs who was Rob Zombie's guitarist during Hellbilly Deluxe and The Sinister Urge. His music is very much so in vain of the Hellbilly Deluxe era. Great stuff.

Lastly, Ministry. A band I would hope you guys know. They're the ones who set the stage for this style of music. So.... CHECK THEM OUT!

So... the New England Historic Genealogical Society finds out that Clinton is somehow related to Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, novelist Jack Kerouac, and the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla. Obama is somehow related to Brad Pitt, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman, James Madison, Winston Churchill, General Robert E. Lee, Dick Cheney AKA Satan, and the monkey in office George W. Bush. McCain is somehow related to Laura Bush.

I kind of find it hard to believe but thats beside the point... Why is this even making the news?!?!?! How about showing more important things about the leading candidates? How about showing the money trails? Expose their lies to the American people? Or how about showing what REALLY going on in the middle east? I guess you have to blind the public with juicy gossip so they let Imperialist America do as they will huh?

While we're at it, I'd like to say that I am personally related to the following:

Slash (Gn'R)
Dwight D. Eisenhower
John Mayer
Greg Graffin (Bad Religion)
Lenny Kravits
Abraham Lincoln
Emiliano Zapata
Malcolm X
Johnny Cash
Conan O'Brien
Bill Hicks
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
Scooby Doo
Speedy Gonzales
and lastly, the cast of Good Day LA

Thanks :)

The bad blood between UFC president Dana White and one of the UFC's biggest stars, Tito Ortiz has come to a head. After White's constant bad mouthing of Ortiz, not as a fighter but as a person, he has chosen to leave the UFC sighting that he "will never be taken advantage of by the UFC again". On a number of interviews conducted with White in regards to Ortiz, Dana repeatedly called him an idiot and a moron. In one interview he said "Tito Ortiz jumping ships means nothing" and that he "can't stand him".







White even went as far as bad mouthing Ortiz's long time girlfriend, porn star Jenna Jameson. Jameson posted a blog in backlash saying, "He has a track record in every conversation, if he needs to describe someone who he feels threatened by, or weakened by... he lashes out in the manner of a 12 year old, by accusing the other of unintelligence."

My thing with Dana White is this, as the president of the fastest growing MMA brand (and MMA being the fastest growing sport) you don't talk badly about your fighters. Burning bridges is a very bad move. He should be keeping personal opinions to himself and carry himself as one in his position should, a professional. Look, I don't like Tito Ortiz very much either. He's one of those fighters that you love or you love to hate. He has a very cocky attitude. But thats beside the point. If White doesn't like that, get rid of him! Don't talk crap about him and his girlfriend during interviews. Very un-pro... Dana could end up damaging the UFC name because of his ranting. He's already developed a name for himself as a motormouth in the business and among MMA fans.

I never thought I'd see myself siding with Ortiz on anything but hey...

Once a disorganized hate group of hackers, Anonymous has certainly flipped the switch. They organize in impressive numbers and fight for what they feel are injustices. Or at least thats whats claimed. Is Anonymous actually reformed? Or are they simply trying to trick the public?

Anonymous first enemy wasn't a church, it was any common internet user it chose to target. They hacked people accounts on MySpace and other websites posting their information on forums where they loosely organized for vandals to slander peoples pages. In some cases they poster homosexual content, in others they posted racist text and imagery. At one point they even targeted children and young teens by invading the popular Habbo Hotel website. They came in large numbers creating black characters with afros in black suits and blocking kids from entering game maps. In a well documented case (you can find this video on YouTube) they even attempted to form a swastika blockade.



However, in late 2007 they grew from a few hundred to literally thousands. Seemingly having a change of heart, they took on a cause instead of vandalism. They decided to take on the Church of Scientology and it's founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Equally a church and man with many critics and naysayers. The church has many documented cases of infiltration of US government offices, claims of abuse by ex Scientologist's, claims that they split families apart, and even claims of wrongful death by families and friends (They don't believe in taking medication). Hubbard was said to be involved in the occult previous to his founding of the his church. His ex-wives also claim he beat them. He passed away from a stroke and toxicologists found traces of the drug Vistaril in his body (again, keep in mind he preached against drugs). They've organized a number of protests where members and other opponents around the world rally outside of Scientology churches peacefully. However, the Church has not taken their protests lying down. They have been known to set up speakers blaring out Scientology messages in order to drown out the megaphones and shouting voices.



These masked men and women claim not to have a leader. They simply chose a protest date and organize. Or in their words, "We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget."

And so I leave you with these questions:

Do you think these people are honest in their turn around?
Do you think they have a right to protest against Scientology?
Do you think its right for them to protest against Scientology?
Do you think they are a dangerous group?
Do you think Scientology is a dangerous church/group/cult (whatever you think they are)?



Here is a video of our very own, Fox 11's Leelila Strogov doing a story on a recent protest.


Note: The lady in the top hat that talk first is a well known critic who says shes an ex Scientologist of 30 years.

Notice: This is a blog about Irish-Mexican history so if you don't care to learn it or are some how offended, do yourself the favor of not reading past this red text, thanks.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A little known fact is that the Irish have a rich history with Mexico. Mexico even had a full blooded Irish President, Álvaro Obregón (O'Brian). Many Irish also fought for Mexico during the Mexican American war to help their fellow Catholic brothers and sisters.

Mexicans and Irishmen are not just brothers in alcoholism lol.

Here's a story from USA Today about the "Batallón de San Patricio" (St. Patrick's Battalion), the Irishmen who fought for Mexico during the Mexican American war:




Bagpipers play in honor of the St. Patrick Battalion at the former Churusbusco monastery in Mexico City.

Bagpipers honor Irish who fought for Mexico

By Chris Hawley,
Source: USA TODAY
MEXICO CITY — Every month, a wail of bagpipes reverberates through a plaza in downtown Mexico City, causing startled passersby to stop and stare.

Then, from behind the bullet-scarred walls of an old fortress, a platoon of Mexican bagpipers emerges through the gates — paying tribute to an obscure but divisive chapter of history involving Mexico, Ireland and the United States.

The ceremony honors the St. Patrick Battalion, a group of 600 Irish-American soldiers who switched sides to fight for Mexico in the 1846-1848 Mexican-American War. On St. Patrick's Day, many Mexicans will raise a glass to commemorate the "Irish martyrs" who are regarded as heroes in a war that still arouses passions here.

"It's a little bit of a weird twist on history … and quite romantic for the Irish community," said Myles Doherty, the Irish consul in Mexico City.

The battalion's story begins with Ireland's Potato Famine of the 1840s, which forced thousands of Irish to emigrate to the USA and other countries.

In May 1846, the United States declared war on Mexico in a dispute over the boundaries of Texas. Many of the desperate Irish were recruited for the war, sometimes within days of landing in New York, said Carlos Mayer, a Mexico City historian and expert on the battalion.

Most of the American commanders were Protestants, and they treated these Roman Catholic immigrants badly, Mayer said. Mexico offered land and higher wages to its recruits. As the fighting wore on, some of the U.S. recruits began to grow restless.

"Many of them began to realize that Mexico was a fellow Catholic country that was being invaded and that was really defenseless in the face of the American military superiority," he said. "So they began switching sides."

San Patricios

The deserters became known as the San Patricios and were led by John Riley, an artilleryman who had fought in the British army. They were joined by a few Swiss, French, Scottish and German recruits, most of them also Catholic.

Called los colorados, or "the redheads," by their Mexican comrades, they fought against the Americans at the key battles of Monterrey, Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo.

The Americans eventually reached the outskirts of Mexico City on Aug. 20, 1847. Mexican forces, with the remaining San Patricios handling the artillery, pounded the Americans from a monastery-turned-fort on the Churubusco River until they ran out of ammunition. Thirty-five San Patricios died in the battle, 85 were captured, and another 85 retreated with the remnants of the Mexican army.

On Sept. 13, 1847, the Americans seized Chapultepec Castle in the war's last major battle. San Patricios who had deserted before the war were branded by the Americans with the letter "D" on one cheek. The rest were hanged, including 30 who were executed at the foot of Chapultepec Hill.

"They were hanged at the moment that the American flag was raised over the castle of Chapultepec, so that they would take that sight to hell with them," Mayer said.

Mexico lost nearly half its territory as a result of the war, while the United States gained California and the Southwest. Even today, many Mexican school textbooks portray the war as an unjust land grab by the United States that led to the divergent economic paths followed by the two neighbors.

Monthly commemoration

The former monastery of Churubusco, where the San Patricios were defeated, is a national museum dedicated to the invasions Mexico has suffered. The bullet holes are still in the walls, and the cannons commanded by John Riley stand outside.

Every first Sunday of the month, the St. Patrick Battalion Pipe Band plays in the soldiers' honor. On several weekends, an actor portraying Riley gives talks to schoolchildren and tourists. The battalion's name is written in gold letters in the chamber of Mexico's House of Representatives.

The San Patricios were seen much differently in the USA, even by fellow Irish immigrants, said Ian McGowan, archivist at the Institute for Irish-American Studies at the City University of New York.

"For a good 40 or 50 years, they were almost completely forgotten about," McGowan said. "The unofficial position of Irish who were looking to become Americans in the 19th century was not to discuss them."

Recently, Americans have begun to pay more attention to the battalion. Several books have been written in the past decade and the 1999 movie One Man's Hero was about Riley.

Bernard Brennan, an Irish-American tourist from San Francisco, said he learned about the battalion from a Mexican friend. On a recent afternoon, he snapped pictures of a carved stone plaque on the plaza where 16 of the Irish soldiers were hanged.

"In memory of the Irish soldiers of the heroic St. Patrick Battalion, who gave their lives for the cause of Mexico during the unjust American invasion of 1847," the plaque says.

Brennan said he doesn't see the soldiers as traitors.

"As an Irish-American, I'm proud of them," he said. "Sometimes you have to stand up and say, 'What my country is doing is wrong.' I think they're heroes, heroes of conscience."


This was the flag they fought under

President Bush is pushing to expand on NAFTA, pushing for the proposed Colombia pact. Administration officials say the agreement will help level the playing field for U.S. companies. Bush said he's going to send the measure to the Capitol after the Easter break. Because of the fast-track trade authority that was in effect when the agreement was signed, there will be a 90 day deadline for a vote, with no amendments or filibusters allowed.

Bush said:

"The Colombia agreement is pivotal to America's national security and economic interests right now, and it is too important to be held up by politics," he said. "There needs to be a vote on Colombia this year."

He also stated that this pact would create more jobs for Colombians in effect making it harder to "recruit people to violence and terrorism and drug trafficking."

He also stated:

"NAFTA has worked," Bush said. "People shouldn't back away from NAFTA."

It's pretty obvious how out of touch with the American people this man is. He has damaged this country to deeply. It's undeniable that he will go down as the worst president in US history. I support Congressmen Kucinich's effort to impeach Bush. It's time to get this man out of office before he destroys our nation further!

Ok so this was going to be longer but something is going on with the website and it reloaded on me and deleted everything I had already written... uhh.... :


The Eagles are back! Their long anticipated new dual disk album "Long Road Out of Eden" has been a smash hit around the world! In the US they have exclusive distro through Wal-Mart and it's sister brand Sam's Club and it has still gone platinum 7 times! Its gone platinum in a number of other country's as well including Australia, Sweden, and the UK.

The album is very diverse much like their other albums have been. Throughout the album are elements of Rock, Country, R&B, and Latin music. All band members, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy Schmit sing lead vocals in this album. Frey and Henley dominate lead vocals like much of their past works. The album has the amazingly well crafted harmonies they are known for. The intro track "No More Walks in the Wood", is a vocal track made up purely of these great harmonies.

The album has experienced two hit singles, "How Long" and "Busy Being Fabulous". Both of which have that signature Eagles sound, Country Rock! "How Long" is an up tempo song about heart break. "Busy Being Fabulous" is a mid tempo song also about heart break. They have been on rotation around the country on mostly Country music stations.

Bassist Timothy Schmit sings on both "I Don't Want To Hear Any More" and "Do Something" both of which are incredible R&B songs about, what else, heart break! Schmit's voice is still as clean and solid as ever, if not better! He has an amazingly clean range to work with making these songs so soothing to listen to. Although "I Don't Want To Hear Any More" is almost purely R&B, "Do Something" has a lot of Country influence. Both very lovely songs.

Guitarist Joe Walsh sings lead vocals on two tracks, "Guilty of the Crime" and "Last Good Time in Town". I won't lie, I've never been too big a fan of Walsh's vocals. They always seemed a little to ear piercing to me but thats besides the point. Walsh sings on two great songs that are very well written. "Guilty of the Crime" is very much so a pure rock song. "Last Good Time in Town" is very Latin influenced and would make anyone want to get up and dance! Well anyone except me, because I don't dance! But I'd love to learn the song and play it! That counts right?!?!

Drummer and lead vocalist Don Henleys voice is now showing his age a bit, but NOT to the point where it has ruined his voice. Henley has always had a raspy yet enjoyable voice and that has not changed. He still sings his heart out and has probably the most impressive range out of the other guys. Songs where Henley stand out include "How Long", "Busy Being Fabulous", "Long Road Out of Eden", and "Frail Grasp on the Big Picture".

Guitarist and lead singer Glenn Frey, my favorite Eagle... what can be said about this man other than WOW. His voice has gotten even better with age. Frey has progressed as a singer album to album and that has not changed this time around. Stand out songs sung my this amazing singer and song writer include "How Long", "What Do I Do with My Heart", "Somebody", and the Latin inspired "It's Your World Now".

Title track "Long Road Out of Eden" is very avant garde song at different times throughout. There are a lot of eastern melodies that sound eery and beautiful at the same time. Don Henley sing this song very well in a sort of broken down sounding voice that complements the song as a whole. This is probably the most different sounding song they have ever written.

Over all, the Eagles are still as powerful as they've always been. They kept their old sound while including new elements. They've always written melodies that stood the test of time and they still do. The lyrics are great and well written as they've always been. It's rare when you have a music artist or group that can write music that does just that, stand the test of time. Most modern music loses relevance when times change. Artists like the Eagles, John Mayer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. are rare and refreshing. It's timeless music that makes truly good music and thats exactly what they are. If you haven't picked this album up yet, do yourself a favor and go get it!

Here is the music video for "How Long"



And for "Busy Being Fabulous"



A well deserved 9/10 for this album!

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa passed a law yesterday (Feb. 26th) that requires cats and dogs to be spayed or neutered by the time they are 4 months. It's about time something is done about the over population of dogs and cats in LA. We live in a society where 64% of the animals that go into shelters are euthanized every year. That translates to 9.6 million dead animals a year! I hope more county's follow our lead and implement similar laws. There are too many innocent creatures awaiting their death in shelters across America. This needs to end NOW. For those of you who feel the lives of these animals aren't very important, than think of the money we can save by not having to house and euthanize millions of animals a year. Money that can be better spent elsewhere. It really is a win win situation for everyone.

Today, Ralph Nader turns 74. Nader is a consumer rights champion and leader in the forefront of humanitarianism and environmentalism. Unsatisfied with the leading candidates running for president, he has thrown his hat in the ring for November. Happy birthday to you Ralph, and many many more!

I just love it when people say "Why are you throwing your vote away voting for someone who isn't going to win? Just vote for the lesser of two evils." Not only do they KNOW the top candidates are scum, but they vote for them! Yet they have the nerve to say I'M "throwing my vote away". How would I be throwing my vote away if I'm voting for the person I actually want to be president? They're the ones voting for someone they don't really want. But they do it so the other one won't win. With a mindset like that, how will things ever change?

Now tell me... who's throwing their vote away?

Heath Ledger was found dead today. He was a very talented actor and I have been looking forward to his portrayal of Joker in the new Batman movie "The Dark Night" that comes out this year.

A lot of people say, who cares, why do people care when someone famous dies, he deserved it because he ODed, and all kinds of other things. Who cares? Well, his fans for one. Is it the biggest story of the day? No way! Fred Thompson withdrew his candidacy for president today, The UN came to an agreement on Iran sanctions, a suicide bomber targeted a school with kids and teachers present in Iraq, but I'm sure you who say "there are more important things going on" didn't know this... Open your eyes and practice what you preach before you open your disrespectful mouths. Though I agree it's stupid to see it on the so called news. After all, thats what E!, Entertainment Tonight, Extra, Thats so Hollywood, and all those others are for.

Lastly, for those who said he deserved to OD, it isn't even confirmed if he actually ODed. Granted its more then likely the case but get your information straight and don't assume things. And to say that someone with a drug problem deserves to OD, thats just cold hearted and cruel. Someone who has an addiction is sick, they crave it, they feel like they need it. Besides, how do we know he wasn't just depressed and did more then he should have of whatever he might have done? Or even that he might have accidentally ODed on prescription medication? Think before you react on emotion guys really, its pathetic.


P.S. I'm so happy Fred Thompson is out... god that man is such an arrogant, misguided fool...

What is it about the American people that makes them believe that the tube tells them everything they need to know? Now I'm not knocking local news because thats exactly what its good for, local news. But people don't seem to genuinely care about whats going on in the real world, specifically in politics.

Take the presidential race for example: People don't make an effort to find out about all the candidates. They see whats on TV and think "those are all of them!" In an age where the internet is widely available and widely used, you would think people would put some effort instead of making uneducated, half-baked decisions. Do they even realize how important this decision is? Peoples lives are at risk, the future of not only our nation but the world is at risk! If your one of these people, do yourself a favor and read up. If not for yourself, for the children.

Their future is at stake at this point, thats how bad things are right now. With these wars based on fabricated lies waging on, the environment falling apart, our nation on the verge of bankruptcy, the new additions to the so called patriot act, the "Thought Crime Bills", and the president trying to start yet another war with Iran, this is serious business! Possibly the most important presidential race in the history of our nation.

 So many people THINK they know Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Mike Huckabee so well. But how many of you honestly know the following candidates: Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, or even Ron Paul? Hell, how about the Independents: Kent Mesplay, Kat Swift, Don J. Grundmann, Daniel Imperato, etc.? Even less likely!

Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich are two men who are being ignored by the media and by the Democratic party. The media tryed to eliminate Ron Paul but support behind him is too strong for him to be ignored at this point. Kucinich has just started being ignored and when he was in debates he got very little time to debate as did Gravel. But Gravel was pushed away way back in October. Its a real shame because Gravel did a lot of brave and daring things for the American people while he was in the senate and he has great, revolutionary planes in store for our country if he becomes president.

I ask you... no, I DARE you, to look up at least those three men: Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, and Ron Paul. You can thank me later ;)
