When the press butchers Kerry
as it most assuredly will, and when Kerry supporters ask me to give a damn, as they most assuredly will, here is why I will be tempted to say not just no but Hell no.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=246098

Currently 5 responses three of which are mine and none of which are Kerry supporters. If you don't give a damn about the press now, why should I give one later?

2. The Plutocratic Press will not attack Kerry
Kerry is the Plutocratic Representative of the Democratic Party. To attack Kerry would mean you would have to attack NAFTA and the WTO as tools of international industry. They will not attack NATFT and the will not attack Kerry. Kucinich is for with withdrawal from the WTO and ending NAFTA and the press does not attack him on that. They say he looks like a Munckin and he does not have a chance and he should drop out or that he should not be in the debate. It is Kucinich that is for changing Plutocratic Rule.

There is no issue that burns me up more than the corruption that could even consider putting electronic voting machines in American elections. The idea that paperless trails is so ludicrous in the true sense of the word it is not worth discussing. Kerry and his Plutocratic friends not only sent federal funding for newly mandated standards through without the absolutely obviously needed requirement they print a record, they have not changed it. You could hook a printer up to a $100 printer and get a receipt and a back up copy. But the Plutocratic Press does not raise the whoop-ass concern I an others have from finding out the atrocities used in going ahead with paperless machines. They do not even report the situation on the whole.

They do not report that the problem with medical cannabis is that it is welded into Schedule 1 so that it cannot be researched without the permission of the federal government and in particular, the FDA. They do not tell you that an intellectual classification would mean they could not use a commerce clause to interfere with California's medical cannabis laws. They do not tell people that if there were intellectually classified that the 80% of the people that support medical cannabis would then have gotten medical cannabis in their state, they would have it because the federal lid of total prohibition would be off.

Now I went out of my way on the medical cannabis and I go out of the way to insert the fact that Dennis Kucinich is the cannabist's choice for President. He is also the only candidate for ending the drug wars. Like I say, what I would normally say has to be bent to say that Kerry is a drug warrior. Kerry is warring on my freedom and the freedom of every American. If Keryy wants to war on freedom, bring it on. I will war with him.

I could go on but NAFTA, BBV, and the Schedule Onle Lie are plenty enough for Kerry to attack. The press could cover Kucinich on these issues or any of millions that share my concerns, but the Plutocratic Press will not attack this and other real issues. They will not cover these issue, or ending the use of depleted uranium weapons like Kucinich, because they do not report the views in the news, they filter it so that it all sounds like elevator music.

Kerry has been using the drug war to war on freedom. So do most of the others in Congress as the Plutocratic masters have taken over Congress and the White House. I will war with Kerry on my own and I also have my representative in the Presidential race warring for my freedom and the American definition of freedom for all Americans. That would be Dennis Kucinich. He is not supported by the Plutocratic Press. He is not supported by Plutocratic politicians. He is not supported with Plutocratic contributions. His main support comes from people that are opposed to Plutocratic rule.

Do not marginalize what Dennis Kucinich stands for or who he is. He is the only true canditate for the people. He will tell you we must have paper trails. He will tell you that NAFTA must end and we should withdrawal from the WTO. He will tell you that it is time to end the militarization of the world using the drug wars to drive up prices and control the flow of profits, and that we must seek a health care solution with the guiding torch being harm reduction. He will not only mention DU where the press will avoid it because of Plutocratic instruction, he will tell you we must end the inhumanity of the practice. He will also so that we were absolutely wrong to invade Iraq and that we are guilty of an illegal invasion.

With all the press can say about Kucinich, they ask him why he goes on? Now why would you expect a press that does that to attack Kerry when they are the ones that shot his biggest rival?

4. Media has savaged Kerry for over 30 years. We're used to it.
Kerry is toast.

Kerry's candidacy is dead.

Kerry's fundraising has dried up.

6. Kerry is aloof
Kerry is frankenstein. Kerry is a gigolo. Kerry wants to destroy farmers. Kerry is a warmonger.

Sometimes I wonder if our TV's are all transmitting the same news channels.

8. don't forget about cheesesteakgate, botoxgate, haricutgate
Just the idea that Kerry's biggest scandals/gaffe's have to deal with absolutely no political, governmental RELEVANCE makes me confideent he'd bash bush with things that actually matter.

7. Kerry is better than Dean in fending off the critics
And also doesn't put his foot in his mouth nearly so frequently.

9. Oh please
Part of me literally can't wait for the stories about the disingenous John Kerry. The man who threw other people's medals over the White House gate, claimed to sleep in a park while sleeping in a Georgetown salon, took three positions on the war, two on affirmative action, two on the rise of Newt Ginrich, and gets fancy hair cuts and botox treatments. We have seen next to none of this yet.
