Ask a Teawipe a simple, straightforward question and you get 20 posts of crawfishing bullshit.
The answer is that he voted against what he spoke in favor of for 21+ hours.
How hard is that? Hell, it's the truth and a matter of public record but such silly little things like facts never get in the way of a Teawipe.

Gravel instead convened a session of the Buildings and Grounds subcommittee that he chaired.He got New York Congressman John Dow to testify that the war had soaked up funding for public buildings, thus making discussion of the war relevant to the committee. He began reading from the papers with the press in attendance,omitting supporting documents that he felt might compromise national security,and declaring, “It is my constitutional obligation to protect the security of the people by fostering the free flow of information absolutely essential to their democratic decision-making.”http://www.powerlineblog.com/archive...e-ted-talk.php
He read until 1 a.m., until with tears and sobs he said that he could no longer physically continue, the previous three nights of sleeplessness and fear about the future having taken their toll. Gravel ended the session by, with no other senators present, establishing unanimous consentto insert 4,100 pages of the Papers into the Congressional Record of his subcommittee. . .

The longest filibuster came in spring of 1964 when the U.S. Senate was weighing Lyndon Johnson's Civil Rights Bill. The bill had been introduced by President Kennedy a year earlier but not taken up for debate until after his death. Debate began in March of 1964. Before it was over, Southern senators had filibustered for 534 hours, 1 minute, and 51 seconds. When the Senate finally mustered enough votes to end the filibuster, an aging California senator was wheeled onto the floor and voted by winking his eye. With the filibuster ended, the Senate approved the bill on June 20 and it was signed into law on July 2, 1964 Originally Posted by CJ7
