[PAA-Discuss] [article] If Michael Moore were to run for President

[Ron and Kris Graham]

Bill,

If you think ANY progressive populist in this country has a snow ball's
chance in hell of garnering the nomination for president on the Democratic
ticket then I've got a newsflash for you. It's not gonna happen. Look what
happened to Dennis Kucinich. He was laughed at by the MSM. He was derided by
idiotic Americans as a far left wing nut vegan who looked like a Keebler
elf. He was denied any reasonable amount of time to speak at Democratic
debates and was placed at the end of the row of Democrat candidates. He was
frozen out. So was Mike Gravel. Gravel even said he felt like a potted plant
at one of the Democratic debates!

There are progressive populists who have tried time and again to even get on
the ballot i.e. Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney and look what happened to
them! We don't need more people running as Democrats! We need big money out
of the political process. We need the myth of corporate personhood revoked.
We need criminal charges brought against the previous administration and the
current administration. We need the CIA disbanded. We need all foreign U.S.
military bases closed. We need all U.S. soldiers brought home now. We need
officials elected via popular vote. We need the archaic electoral system
abolished and we need Instant Runoff Voting. We need a whole host of changes
to this rotten system we currently have.

BOTTOM LINE: We need either a parliamentary system of government in this
country or we need every single state in the United States to secede and run
its own affairs!

The wealthy sociopaths who call the shots and run this country don't want a
People's President. They don't want anybody in government who truly
represents the vast majority of the population. They make sure a true
progressive populist has no way of getting on the ballot, being heard or
being funded.

It's long past time to wake up, Bill. Get off the Democrat/Republican train.
Get off the left/right train.

This country needs people in government who care about their fellow human
beings and about protecting the environment. We are not going to get what we
need with our present economic/social/political system. We must have a
paradigm shift in our whole way of thinking and behaving.

Kris

interesting article in Truthout, speculating on what might happen 
with the Obama administration if Michael Moore was to declare his 
candidacy for President, now:

I know, Michael Moore's not perfect either, but please read the 
article, everyone, before you start criticizing the idea.
