1. I heard plenty of different challenges last night
I wasn't in the debate but it didn't seem to hurt the diversity.

3. Really? I didn't!
You heard people agreeing with each other and not talking about

the Iraq War and the Patriot Act and numerous other things they don't want mentioned!

Go to the link and watch the video of the show.

4. You can't...
it is amazing how quickly Kucinich has been neutered, and how very many supposed 'democrats' were happy to engage in the activity.

5. I'm totally disgusted!
None of these so called "democrat" front runners said a word about the shut out!!! :grr:

Are they that worried about the truth? What have they got to hide?

6. They must be terrified of him and one must ask why
are they so scared of him and his message

It only shows the media is muzzling him for a reason

at least Ron Paul got in there on the idiot Republican side

we want to hear Impeachment and Prosecution of these thieves when they get out if they get out

8. A 'vanity' campaign'? Big money doesn't make the others more serious...
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 02:05 PM by Breeze54
it just means we have many uneducated and very greedy self-serving backers who have an
interest in sending their money to candidates who don't 'really' want change at all.

See Big Corporations and the uber rich! :hi:

9. What else should one expect from a process owned by the corporate media?
The Fox debate!

The ABC debate!

Stay turned for the Preparation H debate!

10. Thanks, Breeze...
... I was tryint to talk up the show before it aired Friday. Those OP's tend to sink to the bottom really quickly. Journal, as usual, focuses on the real questions, and Kucinich was his brilliant self with the continued message we all need.

Oh yes, I really, really like Kathleen Hall Jamieson. She's a regular on political analysis and has a lot to offer. She knows her stuff and will probably return this next Friday evening.
:hi:
