MSNBC Has Dennis Kucinich On Now And Kind Of Dissed Him With Their Promo......
that said - Coming Up Shortly. Was there a double meaning here. They might as well have said - Coming Up Shorty.

1. I get so dammed tired of that (dissing) any candidate. Their job is
to just report, a simple intro would have sufficed without the other trash.

Kucinich is the bravest of the bunch because he is speaking truth.

Unfortunately, you cannot get elected by truth in this country it seems.

3. And To Boot - They Just Brought Up The Riser He Was Standing On....
during the debate in NH. Further embarrassment.

2. Kucinich is absolutely right on Immigration...
Hell, he came up with a reasonable policy.

4. Godsdammit, she went to the money issue, and asked him twice, when he was going to bow out...
of the race. Then she mentioned the camera angle during the debate about him being on a stool! What the fuck is this shit, now I know why I ignore the M$M altogether, I get my news from the internet and Stewart/Colbert.

5. Yeah, if she wants to talk about the money issue which is a problem for
us citizens because we may not be able to get the best candidate only the one who can buy the nomination, she should discuss with him campaign reform which opens the process to others, not just the big money people.

We don't need this long of time to campaign and get the word out with all of the technology and media we now have. It can be shorter as in europe.

They could find a better funding method where more people could be involved.

I know there is a way.

6. I agree 100 percent, a European modeled way of campaigning would...
be much cheaper, and public financing would help keep the big money out of politics.

7. Very true
The candidate who can buy the most TV commercials and distort the facts about the others wins. People base their votes purely by what they hear and see in the commercials. If it didn't work, they wouldn't do it.

It's just too much trouble to google an incumbents voting record.

8. And the media perpetuates that type of campaign. They grab the ones
with the money and exposure and run with it because those candidates bow the almighty media. Those such as Kucinich are dissed and sluffed off. It is all a big money game; all corporate.
