Comments on: Thoughts on Mike Gravel http://innermostparts.org/2008/04/01/thoughts-on-mike-gravel/ A blog about Brandeis University, progressive politics, and the spirit of Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis on the campus today. Tue, 08 May 2012 11:40:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Bret http://innermostparts.org/2008/04/01/thoughts-on-mike-gravel/comment-page-1/#comment-360 Bret Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:06:38 +0000 http://innermostparts.org/?p=155#comment-360 I have a feeling that Joseph has never really had money trouble in his life. Otherwise he might understand how lots of people can;t afford healthcare. Like the free market so much Joseph? Thats what we have now. free market works for a lot of things, but healthcare isn't one of them. All the companies are just out to make money, they couldn't care less if we get treated. Do you know how many people are denied healthcare even when they have insurance? Although I have to say its nice to know ignorant neocons are reading innermost parts. I guess you could say we're "diverse". I have a feeling that Joseph has never really had money trouble in his life. Otherwise he might understand how lots of people can;t afford healthcare.

Perhaps you should visit their issues page: http://www.lp.org/issues/issues.shtml Equal rights for gays and lesbians is not listed as an issue. I didn't say anything about immigration or the war on drugs. I said that they are opposed to reasonable gun laws, and that's true. They call politicians and police "foolish" for seeking to reinstate the assault weapons ban. Many of my family members are hunters, and I respect their right to firearms. However, assault rifles have no legitimate use. A free market will always leave some citizens without healthcare. Even my father, an executive for an HMO, supports Massachusetts' plan for universal healthcare. Did you notice that we're the only industrialized nation who doesn't care enough for its citizens to care for their health and provide universal healthcare? Joseph,

The LP supports gay/lesbian marriages, open borders, is against gun control, against war on drugs. I hope you one day realize that your universal healthcare thought is garbage. What we need is competition in a true free market, not this elitist crap that we currently have. You sound utterly stupid on the LP platform. And you are a brainwashed socialist seeya Phil,

I think he's barely lucid, a traitor to the party and mighty high on himself. I also think many of his policy positions would be an utter disaster for the country (especially a national sales tax). I'm glad he's joining the libertarians: good riddens. But he's a self entitled twat for thinking he deserved any special privileges running for President: he never ran a serious compaign, that's why he didn't go anywhere and that's why he ended up being prevented from going to some of the last debates (and I say last, because he was invited to a great many before the race became close). He's endangering the election by giving yet another choice that could get .5% of the electorate, along with the equally deranged and self-important Ralph Nader, and potentially the two of them could single handidly make sure McCain becomes our next President. But, then again, maybe that's what the two of them want? What do I think about Gravel? I think he’s barely lucid, a traitor to the party and mighty high on himself.
