Reply #46: "...don't use a visual aid at a radio address." [View All]

Why not if the person the visual aid is meant for is sitting right in front of you?!

Maybe you're right. Maybe Dennis and I have been giving the rest of the country's citizenry too much credit. Maybe they are all so assinine they can't see the forest for the trees and would rather focus on the petty side-swipes than the facts presented.

"Like I said in my original post it is good to have candidates who will cut to the chase and state what needs to be said but the reason they are able to do that is because they aren't really in the race."

That is complete bull-shit. Was Wellstone in the race when he won his Senate seat? Guess he was, since he won, huh? Was he a conventional politician? Did he do some whacky stuff to make a point? This superficial qualification that if they speak about the subjects that need to be addressed they aren't viable is just enough to make me puke.

For God's sake, man, look around you! This disaster isn't going to be fixed by someone who follows the standard political format. You're doing the same "in a better world" stuff brought up earlier in the thread. Well as long as people like you, and people who are too scared to step up and MAKE a better world outnumber the rest of us we're all f*cked.

Yeah, you betcha I'm bitching. Not whining because that happens when I'm sad, right now I'm just pissed off and disgusted. It's the same shit I hear from the other candidates "Yeah, I want this for you but I'm not ballsy enough to stand up and demand it on your behalf, but vote for me anyway because I'm better than Bush!"

F*CK THAT! Better than Bush doesn't mean shit to me when people are still without healthcare, when kids are still living on the streets and in cars, and depending on free school lunch programs just to have a decent frigging meal. Meanwhile FIFTY G-DAMNED PERCENT of our discretionary spending is flushed down the toilet via pointless military spending!

We have soldiers ON THE F*CKING BATTLEFIELD with no body armor because of this BS and nobody has enough guts to stand up and say this is wrong except Dennis Kucinich, and BAMMO, let's all insist "But he's too fringe to win!". Yeah, this has turned into a total rant about all the bull-shit that is plaguing me right now. If any of it makes just ONE person get off their wimpy asses and fight for what's right then it's worth it.
