1. This is the reason I can't watch the news shows......

they take nonsense like that and beat it to death. They will do anything to try and degrade a candidate. They would have salivated over FDR and been on that 24/7.

2. Mind you, boxes can be a good idea

or you get something like this, for the Labour deputy leader debate:



(I'll see if I can find a better image, because that does exaggerate the height of Hilary Benn nearest the camera, but you get the point - Hazel Blears, 4 foot 10?, could hardly see over the podium, while Benn, right next to her, is probably over 6 foot).

3. The media is so determined to denegrate certain messages.

Kucinich's plan for the Fairness doctrine , trade, and Media reform hit's them dead on. The reason for the way they treat Kucinich. The posed question about Osama Wolfie asked DK. The ignoring him most of the time.
Press treatment should be a clue to who is best for the well being of American's . It should reinforce the need for a Kucinich vote. It only supports Kucinich as a real indpendent voice not beholden to the special interests.

4. I don't recall the media making a big stink about the

wires evident under chimp's clothing during his debates with Kerry. Guess repukes get a pass when it comes to cheating during a debate, but a D standing on a platform to achieve height parity is some sort of crime. Sickening.

5. Well, I rather have a president who stands on top of a box...

...then a president who always finds himself inside one.

6. Standing on a box and telling truths is far superior to

standing on a soapbox mouthing talking points. If Dennis could break out somehow and get past the primaries he would have my very happy vote sewn up.

7. I suspect that nobody cares he's short...

but everybody suspects that everybody else cares that he's short.
