An apology to Mike Gravel from a Kucinich supporter

First they kicked you out, and I raised only an occasional fuss because you were just Kucinich only with a crappy health plan. Then they kicked my guy out, and I got really steamed.

And now the MSM is starting in on the ignore and demean routine with the only aggressive populist left in the official 'in' crowd. Welcome to the club, John. Not smart to have turned your back on Mike and Dennis, was it.

A QUESTION FOR ALL OF US--WHAT IN FAWKING HELL DID WE ALL EXPECT?!?!?!?

2. I hadn't thought about it like that before.......

It reminds me of that story about how the nazis/fascists came after groups of people and how the writer never protested or stood up for them. And then, finally, when the nazis/fascists came for the writer, there was noone to protest or stand up for him/her.

4. So glad someone said it! I love Kucinich too - but was disappointed that he

didn't include Gravel in his protest. And yeah, what you said about John is true. It's a bed he made for himself in 2004 really.

7. It does - doesn't it, and what is eerie is how the candidates are being dropped

in that order.

Watch - Edwards will be next.

9. It's pretty good. However--

--I really wish they hadn't substituted red or blue for the words they wanted to emphasize. Very hard on older eyes.
