Populist message from candidates, no matter who—is ignored by media says
Thom Hartman. AA radio right now.

1. He's right...

Especially curious since ALL the candidates last night hit that note.

2. It didn't work for Edwards, it won't work for Huck. It sounds good, but

people want a leader, not a union rep.

3. What we need is a leader who IS a union rep. n/t

4. Do people want a fuehrer? I don't even though I emulate Spock.

I was 2nd chair trumpet and a mostly loyal employee wherever I go. Still, when it comes to politics, what I want is a REPRESENTATIVE, somebody who does what I would do if I had their power and responsibility, not a fuehrer, somebody who LEADS in the direction THEY (or their corporate or big money masters) want to go in and tries to drag the public with them. We've had enough of that for the last seven years.

[Cogito ergo doleo]

7. No, thank you! Been there, done that .

We've experienced a "leader" since 2000, who's lead us off a cliff. A country is nothing more than real estate when citizens are irrelevant. We must be recognized as relevant again, or we've lost our country.

[bdamomma]

5. yup, heard him say that.

he is correct in that statement, shows you how sad our media is.

[Uncle Joe]

6. I agree and that's one major reason they hate the Internet.

I also believe that was a major motivation as to why they slandered and libeled Al Gore.

8. I keep a watch on CNBC, and they've started to mention Edwards

They seem concerned about his "anti-corporate" message. I'd call it populist or pro-democracy myself. After all, most corporations and businesses in this country aren't benefiting from the current regime, and it's likely to get worse before it gets better. Most corporations and businesses probably have more common interests with seeing our democracy survive than they do with seeing the junta continue unscathed.
