Kucinich actually said something right

The cancellation in the past two days of two planned nationally televised debates because of candidates’ “scheduling conflicts” and unwillingness to participate smacks of “manipulation by some candidates who would rather run and hide than defend their records and their positions on the war,” Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said today while campaigning in Texas.

Of course I wouldn't support Kucinich's run, but he's pretty much right in that regard.

In response to the Nevada debate where candidates sidestepped the event because of Fox News co-sponsorship:

“If you want to be the President of the United States, you can’t be afraid to deal with people with whom you disagree politically,” Kucinich said. “No one is further removed from Fox’s political philosophy than I am, but fear should not dictate decisions that affect hundreds of millions of Americans and billions of others around the world who are starving for real leadership.”

Kucinich said “the public deserves honest, open, and fair public debate, and the media have a responsibility to demand that candidates come forward now, before the next war vote in Congress, to explain themselves.”

Quite true, but we have seen the past where all the presidential nominees and their campaigns, during the primaries and presidential races, make so many complex and burdening rules and regulations with the debates. It makes the whole thing a sham of the political process. Rehearsed questions and answers. The public is mislead and we get screwed in the end.
