4. "bomb thrower" is a bullshit label
sorry, but either the point he raised about "follow the money" and the tainted candidacies of those who are being funded by Big Pharma and Big Insurance has merit or it doesn't. To toss around the "bomb thrower" label without addressing the issue he raised is nothing more than an ad hominem attack. Gravel is right when he says that candidates who are beholding to massive commercial interests will not fix anything once elected. That's the point.

BTW, I'm not a Gravel supporter and I don't support his sales tax ideas or his health care plan. I do support his very legitimate observations about the connection of campaign money to reinforcing the status quo.
