Dennis Kucinich is being censored by the MSM and the party elite
Dennis Kucinich deserves a voice in the primary process. If people chose to listen to someone else, that is their choice. I'm simply advocating that people can only make an informed choice if all options are made available. It is not up to anybody to silence the voice of Dennis (other than Dennis himself).

Examples as follows...



Should Dennis Kucinich Have Been Invited to the Harkin Steak Fry?
TransWorldNews - 9/30/07

There is no agreed upon criteria in determining who should be invited to a political debate or forum and this often causes grief for those that are shunned.

The Harkin Steak Fry is an important venue as we head into the Iowa caucus and one notable figure, Dennis Kucinich, was not invited.

The Kucinich campaign fought back with a press release dated September 15, 2007 claiming that the party leaders are "trying to rig the game". These may seem to be pretty harsh words but according to the analyst at USAElectionPolls.com -- they have a legitimate gripe.

The analyst uses as his argument the fact that Senators Joe Biden and Chris Dodd were invited and Kucinich was not -- Kucinich is ahead of those two candidates in so many polls.

See the list of polls showing Dennis Kucinich ahead.

Kucinich Wins Debate Poll, ABC Covers Up Results
Mother Jones
8/22/07

Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's supporters (and, according to his website, even some non-supporters) are demanding that ABC explain its actions of the last few days.

On Monday afternoon, Congressman Kucinich took a significant lead in the ABC online poll: Who won the Democratic debate? About the time that he took that lead, ABC removed the poll from its prominent position on the ABC website. Then a new poll suddenly went up, "Who is winning the Democratic debate?"

Those events could be seen as technical glitches, but there was more to come. Kucinich took the lead in the second poll, also, and that poll, too, was dropped. ABC also "forgot" to announce the results (Kucinich tied with Sen. Hillary Clinton as the winner), and news about the poll is nowhere to be seen on the ABC website. Kucinich was also cut out of a group photo of all the candidates in the debate.

It's a wonder viewers were even able to vote for Kucinich in the poll. He was not permitted to answer a question from debate moderator George Stephanopoulos until the debate had been under way for half an hour.

2. He's being disappeared and on the other side Ron Paul is MIA in the MSM.
Wouldn't it be funny if they ended up being the candidates?

3. If Al Gore does not run, will Dennis pull off the "Iowa Surprise?"
After listening to my hubby do a complete 180 from Richardson after he listened to Dennis on Ed Shultz, I am thinking yes...BIG surprise.

4. Corporitists versus populists
Same thing, different election. Jerks refuse to allow citizens to actually participate, because if they did the corporatists would be overthrown and they know it.

7. He's not part of The Money Party,
So The Money Party won't vote for him. Won't help.

I was even disappointed in Olbermann the other day. When talking of the democratic primary, he said, "Clinton, Obama, and Edwards" (order may be incorrect), instead of mentioning all of them, or referring through a generic phrase such as "Democratic Primary Contenders."

That leads to name recognition when repeated often enough.

11. They chose certain candidates for us
as soon as the 2004 election was over. The only way we're going to stop this shit is by voting with our consciences in the primaries instead of thinking about electability and other such nonsense. The conventions have become such a farce that the networks don't even want to cover them anymore. If the Democrats vote for who they truly agree with in the primaries this time, the 2008 convention could be very interesting indeed.

12. God knows, the ruling elites of this country don't want Dennis anywhere near the White House
Having a president who put people ahead of corporations? Can't have that.
