Reality is that most Democrats voted for the Patriot Act.

Reality is that even with 8 years of Clinton, including 2 years of a Democratic congress, the Fairness Doctrine (or any reasonable facsimile thereof) was not made law, the war against the poor continues to rage on, and corporate profits continued to skyrocket as the war on the poor was furthered with the help of Democrats.

If these people were concerned about the public, then they have a strange way of showing it. IMO the vast majority of them are concerned about getting re-elected, and not upsetting the status quo.

If you disagree that's your right, but don't put my thoughts off on Kucinich. He's loyal to the party, and when you call him 'the pouty little kid ... (blah blah blah)' you're really saying that to the people on these boards who are tired of having big media defended now that a few progressives think they're on the winning team. Big media is big media, and if you think they've done a 180 because of some epiphany then I'm sorry.

Once again, I have to point out that this post was directed at those who are basing their support on the candidate's support, not policies -- the people who agree with Kucinich but don't support him! If you're basing your support on other things (like policies) then fine, this thread has nothing to do with you. You agree with another candidate and nobody is saying anything to you.

Please re-read the last sentence from the first post in this thread:

"By all means if you don't agree with Kucinich, don't vote for him. But for those who do think his ideas are good, but still don't support him, why are you allowing yourself to be manipulated like this?"

Sheesh... how many times does this need to be said?

Why so defensive? If this thread isn't about you, go!
