5. He needs to send a strong message
no holds barred. He's got nothing to lose and should pull out all stops.

BTW - what time and what station?

22. He hits it out of the ballpark every debate.........
people HAVE to START listening to what the candidates have to say and less about whom the media states they SHOULD have to support.

3. IF the Clinton campaign and Obama campaigns keep fighting
people are going to see the real need for change. If they look they will see Edwards is that real change.

11. John should say this tonight in the debate.
I think I heard him say something like this before.

"change is good if it comes with improvement, but change, for change sake, is like treading water"

8. He Needs Something
He's got nothing to lose (but a race that he's losing already).

Might as well swing for the fences.

16. He needs to say this...
"I will sign the USA up for the ICC and if they chose to hold any American politicians accountable for their war crimes I will not stand in the way"

Obama and Hillary would then appear to be protecting Bush

19. Edwards will win my vote if he speaks out about Kucinich...
being excluded from the debates and blacked out by the media. Since the media has been ignoring Edwards here lately, he has to know that it is a major issue in the election process and he is in the medias scope now. If he chooses to ignore what is taking place and what has been taking place with Kucinich, it doesn't make me feel to good about what his agenda could be. Which team is he on, the elites or the people?

23. I didn't hear Kucinich speaking out about Gravel... (vid)
Seems like a double standard to me.

Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, who was dropped from televised Democratic presidential candidates debates months before Dennis Kucinich was, accuses the Cleveland congressman of hypocrisy in a stinging video (above) posted on YouTube titled "Et Tu, Dennis."

Gravel's video notes that although Kucinich complained that candidates John Edwards and Hillary Clinton failed to mention his exclusion from MSNBC's Jan. 15 debate, Kucinich himself didn't mention Gravel's exclusion during MSNBC's Philadelphia debate in October. It cuts to a clip of Gravel after the Philadelphia debate, accusing his fellow Democrats of lacking a "real foundation about the problems with corporate censorship in our society" and "a real personal foundation of free speech."

"Dennis, you failed to highlight Mike Gravel's exclusion when you had the chance," the video concludes. "How can you expect the other candidates to mention your exclusion?"

24. Your right.
It's become clear that the Kucinich supporters are hypocrites, they don't want all views to be heard, they just want their views to be heard.

27. Eventually you will awake but it will probably be too late.
The American sheeple are what is destroying our country, not the corrupted politicians. Its those that refuse to see reality that have become the ENABLERS to the corruption.



First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

25. I am a Kucinich fan and I DO remember him making a comment...
about Gravel not being there. I pay attention to that stuff because Kucinich has been ignored the whole time, even when he was allowed on the debates. Where can I find all of the debates, I will put the time in to go through them so you can see the light.

28. Try youtube, i guess.
But I'd think that Gravel wouldn't talk that way about Dennis if he had.

30. I think you are right. I am not paying that close of attention and the ONE
debate I watched, I couldn't stomach what the network did afterwards. I'm totally turned off to MSNBC and CNN. Fox is, of course, never an option. But I think if it turned a run of the mill person like me off, then I'm sure the overkill will turn many others off. Tweety can spin all he wants. I think it will backfire.
