Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel has been excluded from recent debates. Why? Apparently he has not met arbitrary fundraising goals. In this video we fire back, explaining how politicians raise millions of dollars and why you should be worried about it.

4. Great video!

Super impressed.
One of the best I've seen.
Really hits the target and then pummels it.
Great job!
Now the thinking is engaged.

5. I resent Gravel equating "lawyers and law firms" with corporate "bundlers".

I'm a self-employed attorney who donated to Edwards from my own pocket. Yet that money is included in the $6.5 million Gravel, in this video, is saying has been "bundled", equating my contribution with "special interest" corporate "bundlers".

That's the same b.s. Obama tried to use against Edwards in one the debates.

I live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of lawyers who have donated to John Edwards. Calling us "special interests" and "bundlers" is a bold faced lie and insults our good integrity.

8. "Some"??? Name one lawyer that's been "bundled" by some "special interest group".

7. And he stands for...oh, he forgot to mention that...

I'm so glad that Mike Gravel informed me about how evil all of his opponents are. Obviously he's not even close to as "politician-y" as the others.

I worked for a republican once. Perhaps the Gravel campaign can do an attack ad on me!

"Politicaholic...he once worked for a republican. He willingly took money from a republican. Democrat? I don't think so. Mike Gravel takes public transportation. That makes him more of a Democrat than politicaholic...brought to you by Gravel supporters against politicaholic posting on DU."

Same message as the video. Now put your name in there and write your own "anti-you" attack ad. Its fun!
