Tucker Carlson spends over three minutes of his show, along with L.A. Times columnist, Rosa Brooks, and A.B. Stoddard of The Hill, to discuss "why Dennis Kucinich isn't a frontrunner?". Even more amazing is the "conclusion" they reach: He should be!

Many things are not as presented. On one hand we have draconian legislation intended to `criminalize' illegal immigration while on the other we have the more `humane' gesture of providing `guest visas' to fill the jobs US citizens `won't do'.

Once again the `fair and balanced' voice belongs to:

     So..... I come in this morning and find the following story taped on the wall next to the door to my work space. There's no name on it, nothing to tell where it came from - but obviously someone is trying to send me a message.
     I pass it along here because it is a wonderful example of the mind set of a certain class of right wing yahoo, the Ann Coulter - Rush Limbaugh self-righteous types. It's actually rather pathetic in one sense - but it also shows just where these people are really coming from.

Why can't the Democratic Party ever represent a true anti-war position?

The base of the party is largely anti-war, and has had strong tendencies that way ever since the Democratic Party emerged as the liberal party in America.  But when it comes time to nominate someone to stand for election, to the House, even more to the Senate, and especially to the White House, a true anti-war candidate has no more chance in the Democratic Party.

Our two party system, that practically makes third parties irrelevant, then, shuts out the possibility of a clean anti-war voice.
