					<description>Well, you just can't be on the same stage when you want to talk about impeachment, illegal/immoral wars, and the like.  Clinton/Obama/Edwards just want to talk about "change" which is safe cause everybody "knows" there ain't no change in all three of them put together.</description>

					<description>If you want to keep current with the Kucinich campaign, come to his campaign website
dennis4president.com
and visit the blog about him too
www.whynotdennis.blogspot.com
The man is exactly what we need at this important moment in our country's life and that is why they don't want him. Strength through Peace frightens them. Read Dennis' plans and you will see why.</description>

					<description>Friends,

Remember what the Republicans did to Al Gore during the unbelievable "chad" charade in 2000? 

Are we now going to stand by and allow the media, i.e., Big Business, to manipulate election coverage? If so, then people won't even be aware that the best candidate, Dennis Kucinich, is  running for president in the 2008 elections?  


Government of the People, for the People, by the People, not the Media. Remember?


Now. Where's Kucinich? What will each of us do in the next 24 hours to support him?  

It doesn't always have to be about writing a check. Why not do some
research to become better informed about his amazing background. 

Here's a teaser: The Kucinich family was homeless for awhile and they lived in a car. 

In the 70s, people taunted Kucinich when he ran for mayor of Cleveland in his early 30s. Well, he ignored them, campaigned, and won.

"Dennis Who?" helped turn the nearly bankrupt city around, and cleaned up Lake Erie, a dying cesspool,
when he became mayor.

Do you know he's just a little guy, maybe 5 foot four or five? Right. A veritable Mighty Mouse. 

He prays and meditates and truly believes that someday there will be world peace, and we won't need to kill everyone off to achieve it. 

The Cleveland Plain Dealer ran a terrific piece on Kucinich and his fiance about three years ago. It's a fascinating look at the man. 

Find other credible sources to learn about his work as a senator. Then, when you're having a conversation about the candidates, you'll be able to talk in an informed--and persuasive-- fashion about
Dennis Kucinich.

There's nothing quite like grass roots and word of mouth to ensure that America remains of, for and by the People.</description>

					<description>I was ahuge Dean fan too.

He had his candidacy and more importantly his ideas, killed in much the same way Kucinich's currently are--- media manipulation-- albeit in a different way.

I'm not comparing their respective viability here, because clearly early on Dean was a shining star and totally "valid" and viable. What I am addressing is the MSM efforts to manipulate the elections by whatever means possible, which would of course, require tailoring their strategy and tactics to a given candidate.

I knew Dean was toast before the first primary vote was cast-- it was only questions as to the when and how. Why might you ask? It was simple really--- he appeared on Hardball like a week or two before those votes were cast, talking about how his first actions as pres would be to as I recall, resurrect the Fairness doctrine, and revisit one of the worst things BC signed into law, the Telecommunications Act of 1996--- expressing a clear intent and goal of breaking the conglomerates up, and reducing their market shares in any given market are. As if his anti-war message (that the media conglomerates he was going to attack had what, no interests in) wasn't enough, he was foolish enough to let Goliath know that the rock was coming.

If you don't know the rest of the story, you're on the wrong board.

Kucinich is currently, as Dean was then, the biggest voice for real and substantive change, so it comes as no surprise to me that our "liberal" MS media is going to do whatever they can, to shuffle him off the stage and effectively silence him, asap.

Those that wanna buy all the pretext offered up about his lack of viability and whatnot at this point, are more than welcome to, but imo, to argue that orchestration by the MSM to muzzle him asap isn't at least part of what is going on here, is ridiculous.

If it plays ANY part at all, then there's a very valid argument for his inclusion to be found in that.</description>

					<description>In on-line polls, Kucinich won over both Clinton and Obama.  SEVERAL polls, including one democratic poll with 150,000 people voting.  ABC pulled the poll from their site when Kucinich won.  This shows a clear purposeful (and wrongful) intent by the corporate television media to deny viewers to see or hear much of anything (besides snide remarks) of Congressman's Kucinich's platform.  This shows that when people get their news from on-line sources, they are more informed and VOTE FOR KUCINICH hands down way ahead of the corporate-sponsored candidates.  The media KNOWS this.  If people hear him and everything he stands for, THEY WANT HIM.  So they mute him.  This is FASCISM.  The United States of Fascism.</description>

					<description>There may be an obvious answer to this, considering how naive I am about the inner workings of broadcasting, BUT...why didn't any of the other candidates demand that the contact between the network and Kucinich be honored?</description>

					<description>I love how when backed into a corner, all these broadcasters who are deciding who can and can't be our president love to point out that they are "privately-owned."  Well, they may be privately-owned, but they are using the PUBLICLY-OWNED airwaves free of charge, and they are doing an injustice to the public by removing anyone from the debate process before the primaries are over.  We've clearly seen that candidates who didn't seem viable after Iowa are now winning in other states.  So how is it that these broadcasters can play God like this with our elections?  How dare they say anything about not having enough space or resources or whatever for the debate process.  They have been making an enormous killing on the primaries and their actions are nothing but partisan manipulation of the political process.  I say it's time to start charging them an extremely high premium for the use of our airwaves and to do so retroactively to the beginning of their existence, and for stunts like this, enormous fines should be levied.</description>

					<description>The debates on msnbc, on Jan 15, were knee-deep in rhetoric. A debate panel without Dennis Kucinich lacks substance, and this continues to be the standard qualification. These debates(?) are nothing more than an opportunity for the top two candidates to continue promoting their sound-bites and voicing their meaningless blather. Minute for minute, John Edwards was short-changed. The process of elimination, save for the main stream corporate media choice of 'viable' candidate is clear and others become invisible and lose their voice. American voters have been shown the way to the back door and are expected to accept the desires and wishes of those who own our government.</description>
