Kuinich brings nothing to the debate? He's not a viable candidate?
So they say.

How about corporate America buck up and allow the American people to decide that in the voting booth. Those sons a bitches don't get to tell me who I should think is viable.

If Kooch brings nothing to the debate then let him in the debate and air it out. That's up to the voters to decide.

1. They are afraid of him.
Must keep sheeple in the dark. Kucinich holds feet to fire.

2. Half True
Kucinich is not a viable candidate.

How many delegates did he get in 2004? Has he come close to getting delegates this time around?

So, I would agree he is not viable.

However, to say he adds nothing to the debate is outrageous. We need Kucinich in the debates to keep the other candidates honest. We need Kucinich in the debates because he has such great ideas, America just isn't ready for them now. When Americans hear Kucinich's plan for single payer system the proposals from Clinton and Edwards for universal coverage don't sound quite so radical, and Obama's plan is more moderate yet.

3. "Nothing:"
The only real universal, single-payer, NOT FOR PROFIT health CARE plan on the table.

Impeachment.

End of NAFTA.

End of war.

Universal pre-school through college, removing the economic barriers to opportunity.

Paper ballots.

Publicly funded elections.

And more. Much more.

There is plenty of reason for all current power holders to marginalize him.

5. He's not much of a candidate.
1-2% of Democrats.
