Reply #6: Outrageous! Now they've excluded him from another debate! [View All]

Kucinich really challenges the political establishment on the toughest issues--such as war and their goddamned rigged voting machines. No wonder he is marginalized and ridiculed. Well, he can wear this ostracism as a Red Badge of Courage. I was leaning toward voting for Edwards in the CA primary--for what my vote is worth these days--because he's come later to the anti-war, anti-corporate position, and thus the war profiteering corporate news monopolies and the corporate election theft industry haven't had time to erase him, as they have Kucinich (who is possibly too honest--they could see him coming). Edwards was a VP nominee. He debated Cheney. He's a U.S. Senator and has more establishment creds than Kucinich. And he still has a good chance of winning. I was even thinking of sending Edwards a contribution. But not until Edwards objects to this exclusion of Kucinich from debates and from Texas. This is a litmus test for me now. If they don't support fair treatment of candidates and good ideas, to hell with them.

Kucinich is doing Edwards a big favor, by challenging the voting machines early (in NH). Public awareness of the riggable machines, and high vigilance over vote counts, is the only way that Edwards can win. And I think Edwards knows that '04 was rigged. He needs to back Kucinich on his right to debate and to be on the ballot without unamerican loyalty oaths like this putrid thing contrived by establishment Democrats in Texas. I'm waiting. NONE of these so-called Democratic candidates has defended Kucinich's rights thus far.
