sorry I don't get the networks dissing him and not any of the repub losers - none of them belong on stage at all - they are all zizzle and no content - only two of their names come up in the news yet they allowed five - I still think the media is running this race and we are not electing anyone - the media is brainwashing people -

1. Dear God, they can't have Kucinich in the debates.
The last thing the corporate media want is for him to be given a platform.

2. They want to narrow the Dem field down right away
so that the GOP can start their smear machines early. The MSM doesn't want the Dems to know who the pukes will nominate, hence all of their boys stay in the debates. End of discussion.

5. Who gives a shit what those losers have to say
They are not going to win.






...but as for Kucinch, I really think it' because he tends to be a dull speaker. He says all the right thing but he is a very a unPresiential looking man. Maybe that is what we need but in our society it's sex appeal and beauty that sells and unfortunately we apply that rule while searching out a leader and that is why we are in such deep shit all the time.

Now lease don't get me wrong I like the man a lot but he would get trounced by the repukes and this race is too important to lose.

7. Have you looked at the puke candidates?
some of them are just as bad at speaking and not beauty stars themselves, but they stay in the debates. I really think it is done that way on purpose so that the MSM can allow the GOP to focus their smears and attacks on the few Dems left in the field while the pukes keep up a large field of folks.

9. I do. I understand it perfectly. What he stands for, threatens corporations.
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 08:39 PM by Sarah Ibarruri
And I'm not even a Kucinich supporter. But it pissed me off big time that he was left out and that they even spent money APPEALING and fought for keeping him out. He must scare the living daylights out of corporations!!

11. ya don't think they will narrow the dem field with their media conflict
they will eliminate and are already not giving edwards the air time - they are running the election - not the people - my concern is this election is not OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people - that constitution Dennis carries around with him they have torn up and thrown out - they have killed this democracy -

13. Some people lose
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 08:54 PM by HughMoran
Those are Edwards and Kucinich - can you accept and acknowledge that without blaming the media?

14. no - the media did not allow their voice to be heard - they did not
lose - they were silenced - someday when you have been silenced you may understand this -
when they came for xxxxx It was not me
so I went on
when they came for xxxx it was not me
so I went on

When they came for me - there was no one

this is bully pulpit - can you acknowledge that they did not give them a chance to have a voice when it takes so many billions of dollars for tv time - the rich are running this and you are being bought by them - I hope you like what they chose for you -

15. Edwards was well know and was in all the debates
I can't agree with you on him. Kucinich just isn't that well known throughout the country - is it the MSM's job to promote him over all of the other 20 candidates of both party's? Why should they be biased towards your candidate in particular?

18. Don't blame you for leaving - you have no real argument
You're just pissed that Kucinich couldn't muster up any support again. Blaming the MSM seems unfair though - he was in all the earlier debates and it did nothing for him He just doesn't have the support this time.

17. As another DUer put it, all of the remaining candidates are for continued Mil-Indus profits.
Democrats included. And no one is for impeachment, etc.

Exxon/Mobil gotta keep pulling in record profits, and we gotta keep letting them do so.
