Dennis Kucinich just slammed FOX news reporter
In an interview being aired on FOX, the FOX interviewer thought she had Dennis in a corner over health care reform as she mentioned tort reform.

Dennis simply replied "Medicare for all and tort reform". And the lady was really flustered after that..

1. Memo to Fox.
Don't put your attractive blond lady correspondent up against a seasoned politician who is an advocate of social democracy.

7. Which one?
your attractive blond lady correspondent


Fox being Fox, that's about as non-specific as saying "your correspondent." :D

10. If you didn't see SNL this Saturday, their opening skit was about Fox News.
Greta Van Susteran was the host of her show On The Record in which they discuss don't ask, don't tell. Her panel was, Karl Rove, Col. Oliver North, and Fox News correspondent, an attractive blond lady( whose cleavage was spilling out of her blouse), and Robert Gibbs. Glenn Beck was the expert on the subject complete with blackboard. If you can catch a video of it, it was hilarious.

Good guy. Unelectable.

20. That's because they treat him like a third party candidate and he's not. He wasn't allowed
Edited on Tue Feb-09-10 03:32 PM by Cleita
to debate in the last primary. Amy Goodman on "Democracy Now?" had him on her show and asked him the debate questions so he could answer them as he would have. Believe me his answers were better than either Clinton's, Edward's or Obama's were. They spoke to me more than the other answers from those who were allowed to debate. He was the only candidate here on the Central Coast and had a rally on the Mission Plaza. He had people on fire, even those who were just walking by and stopped to listen. Some people stopped me and asked who was he? I told him he was one of the Presidential candidates and they said that they really liked him but hadn't heard of him. So the media freeze on him or any real social Democrat will make sure they never make it through the primaries.

6. It's the Florida Model
I've been explaining to republicans that their biggest dream would be for single payer. It would bring an end to the supposed "tort crisis" of which they complain. If the government takes over healthcare, they're going to get stuck with the cost of malpractice as well. They will immediately restrict a patients right to damages. Something like that already exists on a small scale in Florida. Certain birth defects are awarded compensation automatically, without trial, from a state budget. It was created to try to control malpractice insurance for OBGYN. The awards are nice, and free from significant lawyers fees. But they are a fraction of what some might achieve in court.

Big mistake.
