In 2004, Kucinich was the only presidential candidate who warned that a war in Iraq would be completely disastrous. I remember how mocked he was when he predicted hand-to-hand combat in Baghdad.

Candidate Obama was either exceptionally naive or willfully disingenuous when he vowed to change the way Washington works.

What I call an establishment or insiders, is that for a long time, they haven't fought to win. They haven't - they have run to win.

Network news accustoms audiences to assertion not argument. Over time, it reinforces the notion that politics is about visceral identification and apposition, not complex problems and their solutions. ... sound bites aren't very helpful. They can tell a voter what a candidate believes, but not why. And many issues are too complex to be freeze dried into a slogan and a smile. ... What's lost in a world in which everything's an ad? Perhaps the country that created the assembly line has simply found a more efficient way to do politics.
Kathleen Hall Jamieson -
I'm referring to anybody who is trying to interfere with the process of interfering with what the will of the people are. It is the people who should make the decision.
