They Know He Could Win

Yes, they do and they are terrified of a Kucinich presidency. That is why they do not let him speak and do not let him participate. They know that every single one of us who knows what the truth is, meaning, we know that war is not the answer, that the rights of workers trumps the rights of the rich and that the health and well being of every single person on the face of the earth is more important than corporate profits will vote for Dennis in a heartbeat. Having him shut out of the debate even while he sits and bides his time on the platform is a travesty.
David Swanson wrote an excellent piece today on the Downing Street blog and I agree with him and in fact had written something similar last night before I got so tired from being so frustrated that I gave up and just let my eyes close as I watched the non-debate unfold. It was like watching someone who smiled for no reason at jokes he must have had running around in his head, in other words, the definition of a crazy person.
Blitzer behaved as disorganized and ignorant as any of the media people I have seen thus far. I don't, as a rule, watch television due to the total dumb illness that seems to attract advertisers to the tube in order to shout at me to buy things I never would ever in my life need. Not only would I never buy fast food in order to bribe someone to do my work, I would never want to delude myself into wanting to be some unfortunately ultra-rich woman who can just lounge around and enjoy my own self-image. The long list of symptoms that pharmaceutical companies have dregged up and that numbers of doctors of all kinds have agreed to push as real diseases makes me ill. I have a difficult time sleeping at night worrying about all those people who are so afraid of their bodies that they actually believe that every one of the problems the doctors and drug companies have found to sell to us can be cured by taking a pill. Were it ever so simple and so easy.
Life is so much more complicated and what is annoying is even people like the current crop of candidates is beginning to wake up to the fact that the media is not serving even them well. I just cannot imagine how any of them walked away from last night's event and felt that they looked good--not even poor Dennis who became and looked very angry (not that he didn't have reason to be angry) and my final question to all the candidates is: Why do you put up with this?
I would not. Maybe that is why I am not running for president. I cannot take the sheer stupidity and insanity that is allowed to run rampant across these screens and that people pay good money to support and that the world is in essence dependent upon to get accurate and trustworthy information from. At the end of it all, the only thing I want to know is why if you are such a good person, any of you, you let yourselves be treated that way and why are you so afraid to hear what Dennis Kucinich has to say? Could it be that all you really care about is your own campaign numbers and your own little slice of the pie, even you, the moral pygmy of the group, John Edwards?
I agree that most people who watched last night will never watch again. They have been shown all the reasons why not to watch and all of the reasons why not to care. I wish I could not care any longer either. It would make my life a whole lot simpler on the day to day front. Obviously not in the long term. But remember this: They are only trying to shut up Dennis Kucinich because they know we all want him so let's make sure he wins. We must shut these people up and make them pay attention to the truth. War is not the answer, we all need to help one another get what we need to have a good life which includes a decent wage, fair and equitable laws that respect human rights and a healthy and clean medical and food chain that is there for us all.
Pray that this happens and then get out there and work for Dennis in as many ways as you can.
