Okay i really want Kucinich now
After that exchange where three out of the four said they would retaliate against a state if some stateless terrorist attacks us (Hillary said massively). I want a peace candidate.

17. WOW! Why would any democrat post that? I would expect to see...
that ran on fox news or one of the MSM news channels. You should send that to Bill O'Reilly, he might give you a free shirt so you can show America who you are. I don't understand why so many follow the controlled medias ways and spread propaganda that hurts people. Keep showing it to enough Americans and its true.

I would gamble to say this would be from a Clinton supporter, they seem to be against the issues Kucinich stands for and try to belittle him so people ignore his message. I for one am happy someone is bringing impeachment, the constitution and not for profit health care for all to the front of the issues. I understand the elites and the medias reasons for doing it but I don't understand why American citizens do it? Very strange!

21. My CLinton assumption was wrong with you but everything else is...
correct. It only hurts Kucinich and the democrats by doing something that BillO would do. If you don't see it, I cant help you. Whenever I see someone post something about the candidates like this, its always after the media has pumped out some UFO or other shit into the sheeples homes. You are no different than the media when you post ignorant pictures of people like you did, laugh all you want but its the truth. I guess that is who you are or at least who you represent yourself as when you post things like that.

I am not short like Kucinich but I am very dark skinned, maybe you could post a picture of my face on a black apes body and get a laugh. That is how you look when you turn a candidate that has been speaking up for us into a joke because they are short. I don't think he can help how tall he is and maybe he struggled in his younger years because of his height, who knows. If you don't see the affect of what you did, it only shows your ignorance.

Would you like a picture of me or hey I could do the whole family we are all pretty dark skinned, you could have a ball and belittle us and put allot of those characters in the post.

I will post you some to start with. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Look everybody its my friend pete and repeat.

24. Now I am a racist?
I think you need to review the DU rules, especially the part about having a thick skin.

Oh, and welcome to DU!

:hi:

6. Only Kucinich has a Real Plan for Health Care
One important thing that only Kucinich is doing, is the clear understanding that the profit-making corporations have to be gotten completely out of the health care area--insurance and pharmaceuticals and all the rest of them--and all of it turned over to a single-payer, "Medicare-for-All" system, covering everybody, and paid by taxes, not premiums etc. that people can no longer afford. All of these weird Edwards/Clinton schemes to force people to buy unregulated-price commercial insurance, (just like auto insurance now, a windfall only for those insurance corporations), will help nothing. At one point, Edwards praised AT&T for "allowing" some union organization--the same AT&T that collaborated with the Bush Administration to spy on the American people and turn over all of the records, then tried to lobby for retroactive immunity. "Impressive."

11. Yeah, I like Edwards but that AT&T comment was a mistake
We shouldn't be buying into the idea that management gets to decide whether unions are allowed. That makes unions completely meaningless.

7. I say again...
Check out Dennis from last night's Bill Moyers Journal (Google it) interview. He also interviewed Ron Paul.

Clearly, DK was always on message with Universal Healthcare and a Dept. of Peace. There is no good argument for why Kucinich should have been left out of this race.

And some wonder why less than half of Americans don't bother to vote...

22. It's no use.
Americans (and many DUers) aren't listening. Too much substance in the man.

We want fluff! And we don't care how!
We don't want any revolution now!

27. I don't think it's Americans, perse
It's the establishment. See: JFK, RFK, MLK and Paul Wellstone.

Can't let a man of the people be president. He might upset TPTB.

30. Well, you guys... I think it's more visceral than even this-
What we have here is a failure to distinguish soap suds from political will. Too many of us (of course, present company excluded!) can simply be cattle prodded through a marketing campaign. :-(

Bill Hicks said it so well in his HBO comedy performance (stop off here and recall his take on marketing and the general dumbing down of America when you have an hour for "entertainment" a la Mr. Hicks, who is sadly not here).

8. Yes, the war part made it clear that Kucinich was missing
I hated that part of the debate - I thought everyone dropped the ball. Dennis wouldn't have.

But happily, the rest of the debate was much better.

16. Dennis Scares the Shit out of Wealthy Folks
they know he'd do what it took for change without worrying about their reaction. The more I see the elite in action, the more I am convinced this country is going to change abruptly.

23. There are some wealthy folks at DU, too...
And I bet they don't support Dennis for that very reason...

Sorry, but I have to tell it like it is. Wallets speak louder than words every time - and anybody making over 100k a year knows that Dennis is bad news for them, no matter how great he is for the rest of us.

29. Oh, I Know There are Folks With Money Here
and yes, they usually do swing to the right of real Progressives when it comes to money, especially their money. What offends me and many others (the majority) here is that because of wealth (and nothing else) some have a more say in our democracy than we do. Just because of wealth and nothing more. It goes to their heads too. There is nothing to feel esteemed about. There is nothing legit about that... and the people pay in the end with an illegitimate President because of it.

This dynamic has got to change.

28. Keep in mind that he only swooshed to Obama in Iowa...
he's said that his recommendations in Iowa were specifically for that caucus, only, and he's still in the race, despite what that "Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck" debate this evening tried to show us.

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/01042008/transcript3.html


He is the only candidate who stumps for not-for-profit healthcare, full accountability of the criminals-in-charge, becoming a non-aggressor nation, and honestly supports those who labor in our country. Actual "change". I'll not give up on him til he tells us to and I'll write him in if it comes to that, in the primary. Despite what the Corporate Media spins!

Read his Moyers interview if you need an uplift after that abc farce...he was in fine form last night and his tail ain't draggin' yet.
