This is one show that should be recorded and circulated to raise awareness of what a smart guy Kucinich really is.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

[satya]

Great exposure for DK, Ed attracts a very diverse audience.

[slipslidingaway]

6. One more R from anyone? TIA n/t

[Armstead]

[Armstead]

12. all should listen

[slipslidingaway]

14. Yes, his approach is so refreshing and was evident in the

interview with Tucker on the ME visit and also the interview on Syrian TV. You cannot start diplomatic talks by bashing the leader on TV, you can do that behind closed doors.

Wish I could cut out the commercials :)

[KoKo]

13. Talking about Climate of Fear on Patriot Act and how he read it

and if anyone had taken the time they could see how it took away our freedoms.

What he thinks about NAFTA coming up.....

[satya]

15. Thanks, I just saw that the "live blogging" on Ed's site is really just a place to post questions.

I had assumed folks could go there to read if they couldn't listen online, so I hadn't been trying to blog it here. I'm not very adept at multitasking anyway.

[KoKo]

31. Talking now about Media BlackOut on Kucinich....Media Monopoly...He SAYS IT!

What Candidate has ever taken on the media. Says he'd break up the Media Conglomerates. Dennis says we need to rescue our Constitution by breaking up the Monoplies and he mentions the Media drumbeat to war...we wouldn't have gone into Iraq if there had been more voices.

Hot DAMMIT! Kucinich is going after the Media!!!!

[slipslidingaway]

43. If given a platform he will take these issues directly to the

people and they will demand change from the elected officials.

[FredStembottom]

63. This has always been at the top of my list.

For about 20 years now. Nevermind that the media monopolists use their holdings to swing elections, propagandize and deceive (as terrible as all that is), I wanted it all broken up the day I was acquainted with the reality that they are FRIKKIN' PUBLIC AIRWAVES.

They already ARE yours and mine! As much as a national park or a seashore.

Bust it all up. Yesterday or sooner! :mad:

[satya]

16. Insurance companies want "Universal Health Care"'; DK only one calling for not-for-profit system.

All health care assets converted to NFP over 3 years. Medicare for all. All 2.2 trillion spent in this country now goes to health care, not insurance, etc.

[slipslidingaway]

17. Speaking of his health care plan, transition into plan over 3 yrs. nt

[satya]

18. Q: How to implement your plan with such strong lobbies against it?

A: Who's willing to take them on? Anyone who says they can't take on the ins. cos. shouldn't be president; I will fight for it like FDR fought for New Deal.

[slipslidingaway]

20. We are on the same wavelength :) nt

[satya]

24. I'm hoping there will be a transcript up somewhere later, I can't keep up with him! nt

[slipslidingaway]

27. LOL, I just emailed the show asking that same question! n/t

[slipslidingaway]

19. If the other candidates cannot take on the insurance companies,

which is what they are saying by keeping insurance companies in the game, what other industries will they say they cannot challenge. Paraphrasing here.

[Armstead]

21. "If someone is unable to take on this challenge...."

"shouldn't be president."

Damn straight

[slipslidingaway]

22. !!! I want someone who has plans to implement the changes we

need, not someone who tells me why it cannot be done.

[KoKo]

25. With all the power Bush has taken ....the next President will be able to

do the same thing as Bush....that's why the power needs to be used for Good and not more Empire Building and Constitutional Battling.

[KoKo]

23. It's been excellent so far... He doesn't waffle or dodge questions.

Thought Schultz's questions were pretty good, too.

[satya]

26. I think the other candidates will be clamoring to accept Ed's offer of an open mike now. nt

[FredStembottom]

28. Wow! Listening to DK on Ed is powerful medicine!

I didn't realize how much I needed to look ahead.

I have always said that, based on his policy stances, Nader was the best candidate for me. BUT... I am a party-line voter, believing that we reform the Democratic Party from inside. When Nader went Independent, he became a spoiler and lost my support.

Now, today, I realize that DK is the new Nader BUT with the all-important distinction that he is the reformer from inside that I was looking for!

This is the man. I will act on my hopes from now on and move towards that non-profit health care / NAFTA withdrawal / Iraq peace-keeping / non-evil future that he offers us.

For cryin' out loud, folks - our greatest Dem president couldn't even walk!
What's wrong with us that we can't support funny hair?!?!:toast:

[redqueen]

55. :)

Loved your post. :hi:

[FredStembottom]

62. Thanks - but I also feel a little ashamed for having swallowed...

..the electibility meme.:blush:

Working for my true hopes is sooooo much better!!!

Money to his campaign, right away (wish I was rich!)!

[KoKo]

29. He uses Paul Pott's wonderful voice to inspire him before speeches...

Poll Pott (the new Pavarotti) was a mobile phone salesman who isn't very attrative looking but managed to win the British equavalent of American Idol with his performance. Kucinich and his wife compare him to Poll Pott...who managed to overcome his difficulties and succeed. I thought that was incredible for them to say..(knowing that many think he's not electable because of his looks and small stature)..

So sad...that his looks and height are a disadvantage...:cry: Look at that struting ass we have in thw WH who can't speak a literate sentence...but because his family is "entitled" he squats in the People's House.

[slipslidingaway]

30. That was great, I am so past the shallow stories. n/t

[Armstead]

33. Poll Pott ought to change his name

...it has unfortunate associations.

[KoKo]

34. Thanks for catching that.....It's Paul Pott (sheesh...what a terrible typo)

:-(

[slipslidingaway]

35. He changed it to Paul Potts! n/t

[redqueen]

56. I do not think looks are a disadvantage.

I think that's bullshit spin from the media.

Nixon didn't lose that debate because he was unattractive, it's because he wasn't a good communicator. JFK was more eloquent.

I'm not buying the crap the media spews. Americans would clamor to vote for the only guy who would get us out of NAFTA & the WTO.

[slipslidingaway]

32. Concentration of media...we need to break up the media

monopolies.

[KoKo]

36. Said he'd bring back Fairness Doctrine and along with Breaking up

Monopolies and mentioned GE.... Wasn't it great!

[slipslidingaway]

42. Yes, and said we would probably not be in Iraq if the media

was more independent. This has been going on for quite some time, Robert Parry of Consortium News has talked about this going back to the 80's when many of his investigative pieces on Iran-Contra were being picked apart.

[redqueen]

57. Yup... Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine... and Clinton

did nothing to repair that damage, despite saying he would while campaigning.

He also signed the Telecom Act.

Just a couple more reasons why centrist dems are dead to me. ;)

[slipslidingaway]

59. Dennis said during the interview that our party is in trouble, I think

he is right once again. Instead of trying to bring people back to the party they may lose more voters. As many have said, my party is leaving me, it just took awhile for me to come to that realization. :(

[redqueen]

60. Yup... they're chasing republican votes.

Madness, it is.

[satya]

37. RW talking heads will be all over this, saying he wants to "censor" them.

They'll have to find something to distract their followers from his real message, because they might find themselves agreeing with him if they actually listened to what he had to say.

[slipslidingaway]

41. Yes.... UK troops are sent to Iranian border, links for later

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article2953462.ece

and

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22404789-5005961,00.html

"UN nuclear chief Mohamed ElBaradei walked out on an afternoon session of his IAEA to protest an EU speech which did not fully support his deal for new inspections in Iran, diplomats said."

[KoKo]

45. They've already censored him....No one get's to hear him taken seriously

because it's all about the Top Three. :-( Sadly...how many listen to Ed Schultz to hear Dennis speak for three hours? How many DU'ers who are already for the top three would listen to this if they could.

I understand this is on in the day and hard to listen to streaming unless you work from home...but we really don't hear good interviews with any of our candidates with sharp questioning.

Anyway...it's been good.

[KoKo]

46. Bush Tax Cuts went primarily to Upper Class...Would eliminate Bush Tax Cuts

Bottom 80% would get the money...Capitol Gains Tax...Shut down Offshore Tax Shelters for Hedge Funds.

Cut back the Pentagon ....wasteful systems...reduce money on wasteful useless programs. Go to productive spending for Govt. to prime the pump.

[KoKo]

47. Illegal Immigration....NAFTA brought people across the border for cheap labor.

We brought them here...for slave labor and then telling them they aren't human beings but illegals.

Redo the Visa System... Approch to Immigration that doesn't break up families.

[slipslidingaway]

49. He explained that well, hope there is a transcript. n/t

[satya]

38. First act in office: cancel NAFTA and WTO nt

[KoKo]

39. Buy America or "Bye Bye America!" His slogan for getting out of WTO & Nafta and Re-Writing Trade

Agreement.

[KoKo]

40. Stop Wars for Resources....Use Wind where it's Windy/Solar where it's Sunny

and work for Green Energy with conservation and alternatives. New Thinking not Sacrifice.

[slipslidingaway]

44. Iran war drums, we have to impeach Cheney! n/t

[slipslidingaway]

48. Immigration now..hope people will listen later n/t

[slipslidingaway]

50. Link to listen later...

51. Could you post this separately so that those who missed can listen...

[slipslidingaway]

52. Sure if you K&R :) Kucinich... What a breath of fresh air! I'll post it

in GD and then post the link here, there are a few threads on the politics forum already and I have read that some people said they are avoiding the feuds :)

[slipslidingaway]

53. Here's the link in GD and thanks for your comments.

[Greyhound]

54. "I'm the one candidate that hasn't said one thing and then done the opposite"

If he got the media exposure to get his message, plans, and record out to The People, he would walk away with this.
:kick: & R



Click the banner, help DU and Dennis

[LWolf]
