I also appreciated his primal scream. The media crucified him, WTF??
Kucinich was probably the most honest of the Dems -- plus as I've written before, he doesn't give a rats ass about maintaining a suave appearance. Unlike trial lawyer/big talker/Mr. Smoove John Edwards.

Look if you don't agree to maintain the status quo with Israel you are persona nongrada with the media. Dean said to be even handed. "The media crucified him" Perfect choice of words. Kerry said he would maintain the status quo, he's in. I totally agree on Kucinich. The only morally pure one of the whole bunch. Little strange and needs to be more pi$$ed off but his heart is in the right place. Edwards more the same old, same old.
The current state of our political system is a direct result of the concentration of wealth and the power the goes along with it. Face it things are going to have to get a lot worse before somebody who willing to change things is going to stand a chance.
The best solution I can think of is if people were allowed to vote for "none of the above" and nobody would get in. The process would repeat until a candidate receives a true majority of the voting population. This getting in with less the 25% of the voting population is true bull$hit. And I don't want to hear about everybody should exercise their right to vote when the choices have been preordained such that none of them represent the interests of the working class.
In that regard at least the Bushes are up front about who's interests they represent, unlike the slick predecessor who conned everybody into thinking he was otherwise..
