In the democratic debate tonight Mike Gravel brought up an interesting point in that all of the top-tier candidates such as Hillary Clinton are receiving contributions from CEO's of major cooperations, Bankers, media sponsors, well mostly people that have money and the power to influence the media. Seeing that these candidates are being backed by these people do you really believe that if and when they are elected they will be working in the best interests of these major contributors (Big Business) or do you truely believe they will have Average and poor Joe American in mind when they are making decisions? Why would some of these CEO's and big busnesses be interested in supporting a democrat who would idealy do very little to support big business. In the end however, it's just like Mike said if any of top tier candidates are elected you won't notice any changes.

The campain of Hillary Clinton is being bankrolled by CEOs and she might win because of propaganda.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

No. Theyre not. And I wouldnt vote for any of the top-tier people if you put a gun to my head.
The only way Gravel is ever going to have a chance is if the people get involved in his campaign and do their damndest to help him out.
You cant sit on your couch and not participate in the process and then get angry when a bunch of millionaire career politicians who dont give two sh*ts about you get elected and nothing changes.
If you want change, get involved, thats the only way change will ever come about. Donate, volunteer, spread the word, do everything in your power and encourage others to do the same.

It's a valid question/point.
However, every single candidate making a serious bid is going to receive money from big business.
The primaries alone cost tens of millions.
Unfortunately, there's 0 chance in this day and age that a person can become President w/o the help of large donations from corporations.
Look up any hopeful you want from this race, Dem or Repub. They've all accepted money from big business.
It's a necessary evil in today's America.

No
none of those three are for me, i hope gravel wins the nomination but like Ron Paul he is being blacked out by the media.
What an intellegent country we would be to elect Gravel as democratic nominee and Paul as Republican. Instead this country is full of many naiive people who take Sean Hannitys word for everthing.
Corporate bought CFR members include but not limited to ---Clinton Obama Giuliani ROmney Edwards Thompson and McCain.
Do not vote for any of these .....................................

I like the pretty boy with the great hair. His idea of stealing the rest of my paycheck to get rid of poverty is a hoot.

I dont really give a **** as long is we dont have a Republican. I'm more worried about image. It's bad enough living in a ****** up economy now cause of dumb *** Bush we have the whole world hating us. It's pretty pathetic when you have people in the Phillipines having Pro Clinton rallies. Let our economy stay as shitty as it is and let those bastards pointing nukes at us back off.
