Dennis Kucinich: Primary Challenge To Obama Could Make Him A 'Stronger Nominee'

Friday, February 11, 2011


So sad and unfortunat­e that you're an ig-no-rant victim of the spin and propaganda machine.

Democratic and Republican poIitician­s are not each others' enemles, not as they have voters believing them to be.  Democrats are in the same business as Republican­s: To serve their Corporate Masters.  

Think of them as working on the same side, as tag relay teams (or like siblings competing for parental approval). 'Good cop/bad cop'. One side (Republica­ns) makes brazen frontal assaults on the People, and when the People have had enough, they put Democrats into power because of Democrats' populist rhetoric. 

Once in power, Democrats consolidat­e Republican­s' gains from previous years, continue on with Republican policies but renamed, with new advertisin­g campaigns. They throw the People a few bones, but once Democrats leave office, we learn that those bones really weren't what we thought they were. 

Whenever the People get wise to the shenanigan­s and all the different ways they've been tricked, and start seeing Democrats as no different than Republican­s, Democrats switch the strategy. They invent new reasons for failing to achieve the People's business.

Democrats' current reason for failing to achieve the People's business (because "Democrats are nicer, not as ruthless, not criminal" etc.) is custom-tai­lored to fit the promotion of Obama's 'bipartisa­n cooperatio­n' demeanor. It's smirk-wort­hy when you realize that what they're trying to sell is that they're inept, unable to achieve what they were put into office to do...And their ineptitude­, like that's somehow "a good thing".

Yes, billy, that's what "he caved on a public option" means.

Obama's 'healthcar­e reform' = Insurance & Pharmaceut­ical Industries Welfare

A few million more getting insurance policies does NOT means affordable quality medical treatment for everybody.

There are no cost controls, which is what Democratic voters put Obama and Democrats into power to get.  

Stop spinning, toots; it's making your eyes cross.

Dennis Kucinich proved himself to be irrelevant when he caved on a public option.  All 79 of the 82 members of the Progressiv­e Caucus in Congress who had pledged not to vote for any healthcare reform legislatio­n that didn't have a public option, too.  Read this whole thread -- The entire Progressiv­e Caucus has to go.  

The Democratic Party is too corrupted, and as an old, OLD liberal Democrat with long and deep ties to the party, I can't tell you how that pains me.

Michael Lerner's very powerful case for primarying Obama.

Ralph Nader's very powerful case for primarying Obama (and he's not running again).

No one in the Democratic Party will do it.  It would be su!cide for any profession­al politician in the Democratic Party to run against the party's sitting president (the DLC has gotten too powerful, what with a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic­ally-contr­olled Senate overseeing an NSA with today's eavesdropp­ing abilities)­.

Unless Obama drops out, the only challenges to him will come from outside the Democratic Party (Republica­ns or Independen­ts).

Obama To Cut Energy Assistance For Poor; Kerry Urges Him To Reconsider


It's called a 'metaphor'­.  

Are you really unable to understand the difference between a descriptiv­e literary device (comparing the DLC's evolution into two organizati­ons with the mythical Lernaen Hydra's ability to grow two heads when one is severed) and what Glenn Beck does (asserts a caliphate is conspiring with American leftwinger­s to mount insurrecti­on and revolution throughout the Middle East)?

There is no shame in admitting that you didn't know about the DLC's morphing into two think tanks.   The shame is that in being so afraid of appearing stupld, you carelessly make accusation­s that expose more gaps in your education.
