The fact that Obama, Clinton and Edwards will debate

[peace13]

without Kucinich speaks volumes. This is not a free and fair election with candidates excluded from debates and primaries. They could stand and do the right thing but they will not. This my friends is the end of the road.

1. Where were candidates excluded from primaries?

2. Texas is calling some bull on signing statements.

Kucinich will not be permitted to be on the ballot without signing.

3. They won't say a thing

and as a result, I will not support them.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

4. This is not a free country as long as corporations like GE (MSNBC) get to eliminate candidates

... and the COURTS agree with them!!!!!!!! These are our airways but they're doing with them undemocratic things. Let's boycott GE. Corporations only react to 1 thing: threatening their pocketbook.

5. The other candidates could still uphold what is right.

They could take a stand but they are afraid of Dennis. They are cowards. I can't believe it. This is the most amazing example of cowardice I have ever seen!

7. They're competing against one another, my friend. And they're not our enemy... corporations are.

Corporations are running our country.

9. I disagree.

We are people first, we are Americans first in my opinion and as such we make the decisions for right of wrong. But as you say, maybe we are cheating, thieving liars first. These candidates could do the right thing and actually impress voters. For me it is stomach turning disgust.

11. We're all people, but in sports and politics, there's competition, and nobody helps anyone else. nt

14. "They're not our enemy, corporations are." Most important post of the week!

Or, year!

Thanks for reminding us what is REALLY important!

:pals:

15. Thank you! nt

[Blue Congress]

6. Edwards and Hillary wanted Dennis out

They pretend Kucinich is not a threat, yet for some reason the corporate media is afraid of him?

[peace13]

8. I am in shock.

There is not hope for change in this country. We are trapped in the downward spiral of a hopeless eternity.

[GeoK]

10. I AGREE

I feel I'm locked in a swirling, sucking eddy of despair!

13. Provide a link to back that up.

16. The networks are not honest brokers

They have ulterior motives, being those of ratings and advertising profits. We should not entrust the decision of what questions to ask in a debate to a private corporation, nor should we allow them to decide who gets to debate. That should be a matter of party determination. The party should in fact order their candidates to not appear in any forum that is not fair and that has a reason to make its decision based on factors other than the public good.
