Etheridge: “I think that this ABC debate is nothing but an infomercial now.”

[rjones2818]

Melissa gets it right. We know that the big three and Richardson are all pretty much the same as far as substance goes. The media, party and most of the blogosphere have what they want.

Via http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/05/etheridge-misses-kucinich/">The Caucus, the New York Times Political Blog:

“This just sent me over the top,” the singer said. She was referring to Representative Dennis J. Kucinich’s exclusion from tonight’s Democratic debate, which is sponsored by ABC, WMUR-TV and Facebook.

If the Edwards supporters think the MSM is ignoring John (and that's one of the big memes being pushed by John's supporters this weekend, have a look around), they have much to look forward to. Dennis has pretty much been ignored by the MSM from the beginning of the campaign. Why?

1) Impeachment. Dennis is the only candidate who's willing to stand up to Mr. 24% and his puppet master Dick Cheney. The media doesn't want it covered. The four candidates on the stage don't support it. What a nice convergence.

2) Universal Health Care. Notice health care, not insurance. That's right, Dennis is the only candidate who supports a single-payer not-for-profit system! The others, while saying that single payer is what they're striving for, are happy to keep the insurance companies in business and move incrementally.

3) Get the troops out of Iraq. Dennis didn't vote for the IWR, and he sure didnt' co-sponsor it. He hasn't voted for any funding. Isn't it nice to know that the Democratic party will probably nominate a person who were fooled into supporting Mr. 24%, or who have voted to fund the fiasco in Iraq (Bill Richardson gets a pass on this one).

4) Keeping nukes off the table. Who would have imagined that any serious Democrat would be willing to use nukes against nations who are not able to threaten us with anihilation? Dennis isn't.

The list goes on and on. We know that Dennis is the voice of opposition within the Democratic party. We now know that that voice of opposition is to be silenced by the MSM and the Democratic party.

She said that “corporate interests that have infiltrated the Democratic Party” have marginalized Mr. Kucinich because his stances on issues like the environment, health care and the war go against their interests.

That pretty much says it all!

1. They had a very low standard

and Dennis couldn't meet it. 5% in one national or one NH poll. That is far from onerous.

2. Thought he dropped after the Iowa Caucus??

3. Dennis would be the voice of opposition if...

anyone listened to him.

Don't blame the media, big business, or anything else for his own lack of being able to rise above the noise-- he's just not the guy to bring the message.

Edwards says a lot of the same things, but he hasn't even held office for how long? And he gets heard.

Howcum? If Dennis figures that out, he'll be in the running.

4. I saw my first DK campaign ad recently

And it mentioned impeachment. There are a lot of ads aimed at NH that are airing on MA teevee stations.
