[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 320107, member: 2189"] You mean this: Well saying Gravel joined the LP as "interesting" I don't consider an endorsement but maybe you do. As for supporting Gravel, "IF" I was gonna vote democrat, which I did not, I would probably vote for Gravel which is I believe what I said. I also said I'd vote Kucinich before Hillary, Obama or some of the rest even though I disagree with a lot of his economics but I think even though niave, he's not manical or dishonest. I like to see mavrick candidates on bothsides just as a voice of fresh issues and ideas whether I agree or not. My disdain for the 2 major parties is obvious but in the case of the Libertarian party, my beef with them is taking a philosophy if you will and try to mold a political party out of it. I understand why they do and it does help bring the conversation out but I'm still concerned the concept will become tied down into a political party rather than a broader spectrum and become marginalized. They are also becoming way to "inside beltway" connected and this IMO is not healthy. I also think both republican and democrat parties were healthier when they had and to some extent embraced both conservative and liberals alike within their ranks unlike today where at least they appear fragmented into specific camps. I also liked the extra layer of checks and balance this gave as well that even one party with majority could still face objections within it's own ranks. As for the voices in my head, I'm use to it. After years of LSD use in the 70's you become accustom to such things! :rofl: If was fun watching the 93' movie Dazed and Confused last night with my wife. Did that bring back memories and lots of laughs. If only life were that simple and "almost" innocent! [/QUOTE]
