I feel like the DLC, DNC, and the media has pushed John Kerry on me. [View All]

[Zinfandel]

This goes way back, well over a year ago, well before Dean had a single INTERNET donation...and all the DLC & DNC literature I was religiously reading and keeping up on, was saying how Kerry WILL be the Democratic nominee. He's part of the big democratic machine, he's a Clinton moderate, and he's rich and part of many of the brotherhoods.

Did I really have a choice? Or was it made to just look like I did?

The media loved creating the match up they wanted, effectively getting rid of Dean and the rest...now they want a mini battle between Kerry & Edwards...with of course pushing for Kerry, to be the winner (because the republican owned corporate media and I also believe Rove and the repugs. wants a Kerry/Edwards ticket, (which will play well on TV.)

Yes, the newspapers keep drilling us "ONLY Kerry can beat Bush" and we suck it up.

The last thing the republican owned corporate media wants is a democrat maverick (Dean, Kuninich, etc.) to rock the boat and perhaps get the people fired up for real change that is so desperately needed.

No, Kerry will do fine, bring forth some moderate Democratic changes, but never ever really rocking the boat...watching him scream occasionally at Bush, makes for good television and ratings and keeps the people thinking...shit yes, were going to kick Bush's ass and there are going to be huge changes for the unions, the environment, education, military budget, etc, etc. Moderates don't make big changes.

I really thought I had a choice this time.
