When I read the comments of those who understand Dennis' message of hope and real change, then I know he has struck a chord in the American people that is good and clear and comes through loudly. There is always a double edge to this kind of message and that is the powers that be are very jealous of their power and while Dennis himself is not a threat, his message is and it is the real message of change for this country.
The backers of Dennis get that. They are fully aware of how he will change the way American conducts herself as a nation and the way she will treat not just her citizens but all people. While the Masters of the Universe like us to believe they are all powerful, they are not. Dennis' message proves that and the lengths they will to to in order to stop us from hearing Dennis' message says a lot about their vulnerability.
It also says a lot about the ways in which the parties at this point have become a mirror image of each other. I find it hard to believe that if Hillary Clinton were excluded from the debate or Barack Obama were that Dennis would not challenge the tv networks making that decision on their behalf or stand next to them and usher them onto the stage because of his belief that these airwaves belong to the people (which they do) and because the truth is not so fragile that it cannot be talked about by everyone.
You don't see Hillary or Barack or John Edwards making a move to help Dennis get on the stage with them. Don't you wonder why? Don't you ask yourself why is Hillary so unwilling to acknowledge a fellow member of Congress who is a valid candidate for president just as she is and make it clear that discrimination of any kind is wrong.
Obama too. Where is that dulcet voice when it comes to the exclusion of someone from the debate who in this last instance had been invited? Where is their outrage at injustice and a clear violation of the principles of fair play?
Not a word has been spoken by any of them as far as I can find and doesn't that say something to you and to me about what these candidates are all about?
Yes, they do mean change, but in a very narrow sense. They want us to change our minds about what is right and wrong and what is good and bad and just follow them no matter where they take us and for what reasons.
I offer them a challenge: Tell us what you think of a viable candidate being excluded.
Please.
