Confusing? Well, Yes


Recently, Democratic candidate Mike Gravel decided to pursue the Libertarian nomination for president. Nevermind that he wants the government to have its hand in nearly everything economically. One of his reasons for leaving the Democratic party is that it is "no longer the party of FDR." If that is his reason, why is he joining the Libertarian party? Is he not aware that FDR is a naughty word within the party? It seems like he has no idea what he is doing. Last month he endorsed Green Party presidential candidate Jesse Johnson. The Green Party just happens to have completely opposite views of the Libertarian Party. The best quote I have seen in a while comes from Libertarian Party National Media Coordinator Andrew Davis. “He’s a current Democratic presidential candidate who is now a member of the Libertarian Party who has endorsed a member of the Green Party,” Davis said.


Note: Typing "Mike Gravel" in a Google Image search promps a suggested search of Dennis Kucinich.
