19. Totally. But Byrd, MUCH as I appreciated what he did and said,
was talking into a vacuum. WE knew what he said, and so did a few others. But he was virtually ignored by almost everybody else. A REAL injustice, if you ask me! Same thing for Graham, who, UNFORTUNATELY, doesn't have a strong telegenic card to play. SADLY enough, neither does Kucinich. I applaud BOTH those men. I agree with both those men. They both make sense, and they're utterly correct. And unfortunately, Kucinich was talking into a vacuum for awhile, as nobody paid him much attention. Which I also thought was a tremendous injustice and unfair and WRONG!!!

That said, I do think it was Howard Dean who ratcheted up the language and the energy. I'm not sure why he wound up standing out more on similar messages. I'm just glad SOMEBODY did. Dean started the ball rolling. It therefore gave more "oomph" to Kucinich, and then to Graham.

I'm a Dean supporter, myself. But I'm glad to see ANYBODY firing up the opposition to bushco. It's good for all of us!
