Reply #4: Politics is all about shifting public opinion

[jbou]

I wish Kucinich's views were the views of the political center in this country, but in all reality we progressives don't hold enough sway in this country to counter the right wing megaphones that permiate our country.

Our progressive goal should be to start a tv station like Fox News, start a talkradio show like Rush Limbaugh has, and we need to come up with quick and easy bullet points like the right has to attack us. Right now we are losing the war against the right wing agenda. We need to stop all the infighting amongst ourselves and gather together and appeal to the rich/progressive folks to start ourselves a media megaphone of our own, till then, an honest heartfelt, smart politician like Kucinich will be considred unelectable.

I'm backing Dean right now, because he has a strong record of keeping ideolouges in check, and passing bills that solve problems but please no one 100 percent(with congress the way it is we'll need a leader like that). I think a Dean Presidency along with a real effort to achieve a media voice stronger then a few magazines will lead us to being open to voting for real progressive candidates like Kucinich. I have a plan, I hope it can come to fuition. So you know I'm not talking out of my ass I work in politics already, and I've spoken with others about my plans.
