26. That's what I'm wondering |
|
Where are the other candidates going to do about the media censoring other Democrats?
Where is that Democratic Unity? Obama? Clinton? Edwards?
They want my vote in November? They could start earning it by standing up for democratic principals and allowing my views a place in the Democratic party.

Or is that against your principles? Corporations only act when there are threats to their profits.

Hillary is a Senator...and Reid's Son works for her. Nevada Supreme Court convenes EMERGENCY SESSION just this Afternoon to STOP Kucinich (the elf) from appearing in the Debate? WHOA...what is it that "they fear" from Kucinich (the elf...who doesn't have (according to many) any chances of getting votes?
HUH? :shrug:

I came to my sister/brother's house to watch it and be on DU since the cable is out at my house until tomorrow. But if Kucinich is not on, I am not watching. There is no point for me. It will be the same old shit for Clinton and Obama and they will ignore Edwards. So what is the point? So I'm gonna go back home and sleep.

And if the THREE continue the debate w/o Kucinich, they've lost my vote.
All three are for corporations, not for us.

you mean the TV is used for something else besides watching VHS/DVDs and video games? mysterious... :think:
on second thought, i think i'll skip the debate, too. the shock of the TV doing something else might be too much for me yet.

The fact that a person is running for President and has a D after their name doesn't mean that they give a damn about this country.

What kind of stand did Dennis take when Mike Gravel was excluded from the debates, but Kucinich was allowed to continue to participate? I like DK, but I'm just curious about this, cuz I heard nothing. And Dennis certainly didn't walk off or mention anything at the debates themselves. Anyone know?

44. gravel was on randi's show yesterday (apparently he has been |
|
really sick) and he said he is still IN the race--he hasn't dropped out. and he said he was pissed off that kucinich didn't include him in the suit for attending the debates--that kucinich could have added his name to the original petition or filing.

At some point don't you need to win some delegates to keep getting invited to these debates? Do the democrats have anything to gain from continued media exposure of Dennis Kucinich considering he appear hopeless out of the presidential race? No. The man has had 6 months of time to build some sort of base. It's not like this is the first and only debate the Democrats have had. I think he's had his fair chance to make his case to be president and simply isn't polling well for future states nor won enough delegates to keep him around.
