QUOTE U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel of Austin today ruled against Dennis Kucinich's bid to get on the Democratic presidential primary ballot in Texas. State party officials excluded Kucinich from the March 4 ballot because he had refused to sign a pledge to support all Democratic nominees. Yeakel upheld the party's decision.
Yeakel ruled that the Texas Democratic Party's right to set rules about who can associate with it outweighed Kucinich's free speech rights. Yeakel said if Kucinich did not want to sign the Democratic Party's loyalty oath, he was free to run for president as a Republican, a third party candidate or as an independent. |

No, very few politicians (especially those in charge of parties) are bipartisan. Sad, but true.

He's kinda ghetto....he was demanding a recount from NH, but he didn't have the $2,000 to pay for the recount! And why demand a rescount? He had shit for votes anyway!

He had shit for votes anyway! Possible he was demanding a recount not because of his low votes, but because of the insane amounts of controversy regarding that vote. |

The TDP has every right to do that. Be lame or whatever, but they're the ones that finance the primary.
So now only 3 choices on the Primary, which is ok... I guess. I wish Gravel's name would be on there, but he didn't register. |
