SPS, Arianna Rove/Goebbels! Self praise stinks. Go suck on a MASHed potato and get this self effacing junk off the home page!!!!!

It is not Bill Maher's fault that only Kucinich answered his question. Hillary really sidestepped him.

I honestly did not like any of these answers nor do I see this being any different from the regular debates. Even Mahers questions were turned into political rhetoric.

You seem to be very proud of your format while operating just like the mainstream media.You ask questions with no follow up thus allowing the candidates to spew forth the same old talking points. Why didn't Bill ask Hillary what was so funny? Why was Edwards allowed to pontificate on oil and not address the actual question? If internet media is just going to spoon up the same old crap with most of the same pundits it will become irrelevant.

DENNIS KUCINICH!!!!! I include my voice amongst a few others here that SHOUT OUT: WHERE THE HELL IS KUCINICH? Come on MOVIN' ON and HUFFINGTONPOST ... Give the fair journalism you ask for and at least equal coverage to an above average candidate who works damn hard for this country. Check out his voting records and initiatives. This man works!!!!

As a Democrat (sort of--things have been a little shaky lately, with them scrambling to prove themselves to be Republican Jr.), I'm just sitting here thrilled to my toes that we came up with yet another cutesy name for an event like this, thereby reinforcing the Republican-fed image of the Democrats as a bunch of freaks and silly people who couldn't possibly be trusted to lead the nation in a time of crisis. That's just what we need--give the public one more reason, superficial as it may be, to think of us as the little brother and sister who might be able to watch the house for five minutes while Dad goes down to the 7-11 to get gas, but you're sure not gonna want them to run things for good.

Substantively, it looks like a good event, and I love Maher's question to Hillary about why anybody should vote for someone who was suckered by somebody like Bush.

But why the hell do we have to do this lame cutesy thing? Could we not have named the event something that was at least vaguely adult?

What does Dennis Kucinich have to do to get some media coverage? First his picture is cropped from the ABC-TV debate 'group photo'. Now his name is left out of the list of participating candidates in the intro to this report.

Kucinich IS and HAS BEEN the only member of Congress to oppose this Iraq War from the git-go...the only candidate who has consistently voted against funding increases that have prolonged--and continue to prolong--this misadventure. Does he get NO CREDIT for his principled opposition and perspicacity? ..Not even a mention?

Kucinich deserves to have his voice heard. His name only comes up when surrounded by terms like "fringe", "Long shot", "diminutive", and "elf-like". What the hell is going on here?! His record deserves to be at least acknowledged...and his proposals considered. Are integrity and good judgment no longer counted as qualifications for public office?

I should think that his refusal to accept contributions from the Big Money lobbyists [Big Pharma, the Insurance Industry, the Corporatists who run rampant through the halls of Congress] would not automatically exclude him from the ranks of "serious" top-tier candidates who are covered for their haircuts or their cleavage. Given the mood of the American people (anti-war, anti-corruption, anti-corporate, pro-labor, pro-equal rights, etc.) Kucinich should be the obvious choice for nomination AND election.....IF people were made aware that they actually HAVE a choice in these so-called "exercises in democracy".

Sheesh!!!!

More like Jesse Jackson every day.

September 15 Anti-War Protest to Be 'Unlike Any Other'
By Nathan Burchfiel

CNSNews.comm) - Organizers of an anti-war protest scheduled for Sept. 15 said Wednesday that the demonstration will be "unlike any other" as activists gather to demand an immediate end to the war.

Cindy Sheehan -- the Gold Star mother whose son, Army Spec. Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq -- has come out of anti-war movement "retirement" to participate in the protest.

It is very clear to me that since 9/11 and perhaps before then, Bush/Cheney and gang had planned all along for the invasion of Iraq and used 9/11 as a "reason" to invade. These people are not idiots, well besides Bush that is, they knew that a majority of Americans are not very intelligent and would not ask the tough questions. They would use the "fight them over there" and Sadam was working with Osama etc.
The bottom line is that the surges are only intended to allow this war to drag on until Bush is out of office. He has intended from day one to dump this war on the Democrat that will be elected next year. He knows that once the Democrat starts pulling out substantial numbers of troops, and the war escalates, the stupid majority of Americans will blame the Democrats for the mess that Bush left. These candidates know this and I hope that they do all they can to make everyone aware that this will not be accepted once they become President.

I honestly believe that the Left in this country is digging its grave deeper and deeper everyday. I don't know when, but their despicable actions and words over the last 6 years will haunt them for years to come.

Back to the subject at hand.

Newt Gingrich and Mario Cuomo have been staging a number of debates this summer exactly in the format that real debates used to be conducted.

They take a topic and challenge each other to defend their side. It's a back and forth, with the moderator there only to keep them on subject, not ask stupid questions.

We should demand more "Lincoln-Douglas" type debates.

It has already been shown that the ONLY candidate of either party who has not been bought by Corporatist (Fascist) powers is DENNIS KUCINICH!

Support for anyone else is support for more of the same in a headlong lemming rush to trash what was once the United States.

Americans, generally speaking, continue to rely on the MSM and its stenographically accurate dispersal of Fascist propaganda. They wallow in what amounts to a lot of writing on restroom walls.

What's crawling around in peacekitten's mind?
I apologize for saying that you have nothing to offer. That was crass and just plain wrong.

the left in this country will do to itself what the right wing never could.

the left is its own worst enemy.

the right is right about a lot of things about the left.

a lack of courage.

the inability to see a larger goal.

concepts of right and wrong have no place in the political arena.

at this point, i don't even see the point of participation or giving a shit about it anymore.

people like kucinich have no chance not because of the right wing, but because of their own "supporters."

screw the whole process. it's a waste of time, effort and energy anyway.

In Tijuana, Mexico, across the border from San Diego, Elvira Arellano spoke about her son to several dozen demonstrators. Saul was scheduled to join her there Thursday.

"He is a boy who has been suffering because the U.S. government told his mother she couldn't stay in their country anymore because she was undocumented," she said.
