In reply to the discussion: The real scandal of Kucinich working for Fox [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)124. "sacrifice substance, and all credibility" ??
"...for the sake of being on a channel that is well documented to deliver propaganda and lie for the enemy right wing."


That is a fairly harsh attack on Bill & Hillary, and most of the other Big Name celebrity Democrats.
I'm not willing to go that far,
but you are entitled to your opinion before the actual facts come in.
I know one thing for certain.
Dennis Kucinich will be given more time to discuss Liberal Values and traditional FDR/LBJ Working Class Policies on O'Reilly
than he was given by the Democratic Party during the 2008 Debates.

Hey, maybe THAT is why so many Centrists are upset?

I fully support anyone
going anywhere
and promoting these policies and values:
*an end to Anti-Labor/Anti-American Working Class "Free Trade"
*Expanding MediCare to ALL Americans
because it is not only easier & better than ACA,
but it is cheaper too
*Ending Foreign Wars for Profit,
slashing Military Spending,
and using the "Peace Dividend" for Jobs, Social Programs, and Infrastructure
*Prosecution for War Criminals, War Profiteers, and Wall Street Crooks
*Initiate a major new program of investment in rural America, putting thousands to work rebuilding invaluable public assets such as schools, hospitals, libraries, swimming pools, and parks. Teachers, doctors, veterinarians, and other important service providers would be offered incentives to work in under-served areas.
*Organized LABOR
"There can be no true corporate accountability unless corporations are accountable to workers. There can be no accountability to workers unless workers' rights are protected."
*Guaranteed Quality Universal Education, Pre-K Through College
graduate Debt FREE
*Raise the Cap on FICA Deductions
*Repeal the Patriot Act
*Break Up Anything that is Too-Big-to-Fail
*End Taxpayer Subsidies to the Richest Corporations in the World
* USA should join the rest of the civilized World in banning Land Mines
*USA should join the rest of the civilized World in the International Criminal Court.

Fox 'news" is a GOP propaganda station. Kucinich helps them look like they're "fair and balanced".

FOX has big bucks to spend and Kucinich is an honest voice. He is also a strong MAN, not sell out.
