Just curious - exactly what have you 'heard' about Gravel, Paul or Nader that has been 'scandalous, negative' or has led you to believe that they are 'nut-jobs'? This goes back to my point that the media has successfully manipulated the public for it's own corporate agenda.
Please re-read my post thoroughly! I clearly indicated "too old" as a factor in elimination. All three of these gentlemen clearly fall into that category!
Why? Because he holds such conservative values LOL! He will never be elected, his own past will make him unacceptable to far too many rightwing Christians and the left hates him. Do not get me wrong, he is a very savy politician and even has some good ideas, but no matter what I think of him personally he cannot get enough support to win and that is just the reality of the situation.

While Ron Paul is a good candidate, I would prefer tougher people, someone like Dennis Kucinich. I know, some of you are laughing. Ron Paul talks the talk but has accomplished little in his years in office. I think Dennis K has more guts, but since he's not on the list, I'm going with the only one who I trust has the best interest of the American people: Ralph Nader. Can you name anyone else who sticks up for the people? He scares the crap out of the government and corporations because he cannot be owned.
Ron Paul walks the walk. You wont have to worry about him selling out. Look at his voting record. Being the lone no vote on a bill is tough imo.

You might want to look at the Millions he added in pork to the last major bill of 2010 before looking too foolish when it comes to walking the walk stuff. But yes you do not have to worry about his selling out, he is already bought and owned.

Ron Paul was the real change candidate in the 2008 election season...not like Obama's fake "hope and change" which was nothing but an empty marketing slogan.

What is he going to change, do you have any idea? Might want to check his record before going too far with your lovefest.
