and why you should vote for him.
If you've been watching whats going on lately on this board there are alot of mini-scandals that could be big scandals in time, there is alot about political positioning, popularity, experience being a factor, etc. The neo-liberals have to jocky for position and the corporate run press has to go along to make a story, or join in willingly cause its easy. This is why Kucinich is unpopular with the Press--he doesn't play in their rigged game. Kucinich's advantage is that of anybody who knows the truth about matters. There is a peace with knowing and an ability to focus and send a powerful message. Kucinich will not have to keep his nose stuck to the political wind to know which way it is blowing, he can go headlong into the fascists and they will not be able to game the limelight with superficiality. He has an alternative and in the campaign he will stand in stark contrast with the fascists who will inevitably try to muddle through the whole affair with platitudes about protecting America, and other BS.
This country is in a world of hurt and it is going to have to take a new direction.
It is something like what happened after the Crash of 29' when "Ain't we got fun" turned into "Brother can you spare dime?" in the blink of an eye. FDR was loathed by the Right because he challenged the status quo in a fundamental way. Grandaddy Prescott Bush said: "The only man he ever hated, was buried in Hyde Park". The burial place of Roosevelt. Kucinich is powerful because he doesn't have to worry about the chitchat politics. He, like Roosevelt, speaks directly to the issues and most importantly offers alternatives. People knew the country was in a world of hurt back then as they do now. Kucinich calls the crooked basteeds that robbed the country what they are and said what he is going to do if elected: arrest them.
When asked about the UFO by Russert the other day I would like to have said: "You know, here we have a few minutes between commericials to talk about issues vital to our future and we take it up with this kind of crap! Let's get serious Tim!"
But that's just me.
None of the other candidates have even come close to the kind of message Kucinich is sending because they are all part of the same system. I know this sounds to some like I'm painting with too broad a brush, but think about it: why aren't the other candidates sticking to the issues and calling for impeachment and/or arrest? Why? Because they don't intend to arrest anybody, just like Clinton let Poppy go in 92'and has been on a huggy kissy footing ever since.
George Bush said: "Sarah if the American people ever find out what we have done to them, they will chase us down the streets and lynch us".-- George HW Bush, cited in the June, 1992 Sarah McLendon Newsletter ..... ..... "The only thing in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead armadilloes"--Hightower
Centrism at a time like this is status quo.
If BushCo is not held accountable the next election means nothing. Attempts at trying to get something passed in Congress with this psychopath in power is like trying to rebuild a burning house before you put out the fire. All energy must be expended to return to the rule of law or else lawlessness will rule.
