Gravel: Dems Sold Out to Wall Street
Once again, Gravel shows Americans that he may be almost 80, but he knows what's going on.
The following is his answer to a question from the audience at the recent CNN sponsored YouTube debate:
"I was wondering if any of the other candidates had a problem with the same two families being in charge of the executive branch of government for 28 consecutive years, if Hillary Clinton were to potentially be elected and then re-elected."
COOPER: Thirty seconds, Senator Gravel. Do you have a problem with it?
GRAVEL: Well, yes, I do, a serious problem. The Democratic Party used to stand for the ordinary working man. But the Clintons and the DLC sold out the Democratic Party to Wall Street.
Look at where all the money is being raised right now, for Hillary, Obama and Edwards. It's the hedge funds, it's Wall Street bankers, it's the people who brought you what you have today.
Please wake up. Just look at the New York Times of the 17th of July that analyzes where the money's coming from.
COOPER: Time's up.
GRAVEL: It comes from the bankers on Wall Street and of course hedge funds, which is code for bankers on Wall Street. And they're lock, stock and barrel in their pocket.
Almost 70 years ago, a great American leader was assassinated for pointing out the same fact.

Actually, it's a different video. The video I posted above is on a different topic to accommodate your post as proof of Gravel telling like it is before he got cut off by Cooper Anderson.
Credit does not matter to me but thanks for your concern.
