Mike Gravel Joins the Libertarian Party, Hopes to Win Party's Nomination for President


LP.org

Former Senator and 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate Mike Gravel has announced he is leaving the democratic party and joining up with the fastest growing political party in America, The Libertarian Party.

"I'm joining the Libertarian Party because it is a party that combines a commitment to freedom and peace that can't be found in the two major parties that control the government and politics of America," says Gravel. "My libertarian views, as well as my strong stance against war, the military industrial complex and American imperialism, seem not to be tolerated by Democratic Party elites who are out of touch with the average American; elites that reject the empowerment of American citizens I offered to the Democratic Party at the beginning of this presidential campaign with the National Initiative for Democracy." -Mike Gravel

CNN's Jack Cafferty: Closet 9/11 Truther?

9/11 Blogger

Jack Cafferty ran a report that took a strong stance against our "two party" system and included a clip of 9/11 truthers at about 0:30. I've written Mr. Cafferty before practically begging him to research the topic of 9/11 truth . He is a former NYC local news anchorman and has real street smarts. He's also one of the few commentators on the MSM that tells it (almost) like it is. I would bet my bottom dollar this guy questions the official story but is not allowed to tackle the subject on his program.

I do not trust CNN as far as I can throw my (rarely watched) HDTV. But Mr. Cafferty managed to include a smidgen of 9/11 truth without taking a swipe at truthers and without actually raising the topic of 9/11 truth (which is probably verboten at good 'ol CNN.) I think his inclusion of the 9/11 truthers at 0:30 was no accident. Even though it was only a few seconds, it was there and did not have to be.

Is this a sign of things to come? Is the MSM trying to figure a way out of their (almost) seven year lie? Or is this simply one newsman’s effort to sneak some truth out?
