DETROIT, July 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Top campaign officials for Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich tonight expressed outrage that rival candidates Hillary Clinton and John Edwards were overheard collaborating on a strategy to eliminate other Democratic candidates from future debates and forums.

According to the Associated Press, Fox News Channel microphones picked up Clinton and Edwards on stage discussing their desire to limit future joint appearances to exclude some rivals lower in the crowded field. "We should try to have a more serious and a smaller group," Edwards said into Clinton's ear following a Presidential Forum in Detroit hosted by the NAACP on Thursday.

Clinton agreed with Edwards, according to print reports and video footage of the exchange. "We've got to cut the number. ... They're not serious," she said. Clinton added that she thought representatives of her campaign and Edwards' had already tried to limit the debates, and "we've gotta get back to it," according to the AP.

"Candidates, no matter how important or influential they perceive themselves to be, do not have and should not have the power to determine who is allowed to speak to the American public and who is not," said Kucinich.

"Imperial candidates are as repugnant to the American people and to our Democracy as an imperial President."

The Kucinich campaign will immediately take steps to address the planned actions of the Clinton and Edwards campaigns.

"I love you, Hill. I'll do anything if you'll make me VP"

Hill responds "Tell me Silky One, do you like cigars?"

You can tell when Dennis is outrages because he stamps his little feet.

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Disagree..Look we have a long primary season...in both parties...and we open it up to everyone..but after some months, if a candidate can’t show any oomph in the polls, they shouldn’t keep getting the same attention, recognition, and airtime in these public forums..

I think that's still possible. With Gore running, it would be "Girth In The Balance"

Oh yes... another example of the stupid party's favorite pastime, shooting their own.

Dennis should send his wife to a Hillary speech and have her harangue her like Hillary did to Bill’s opponent in Arkansas.

Dumb Dennis is outraged because he thought the Hitlery machine meant to dump the candidates in Marcy Park ala Vince Foster.

For the most part, AmericaUnited, I don’t think the GOP shoots its own unless it people on the fringe like Ron Paul or David Duke. Instead, the GOP voters repeatedly excuse failure and betrayal in the primaries so long as committed by the establishment choices.

I watched replay of this on fox yesterday. The conspiracy of Edwards and Hillary to eliminate other Dim candidates from the debates will make for some REALLY good commercials for both the Dims AND the GOP.

It indicates how strongly Hillary considers herself the 'uncrowned queen' of the United States. If she thinks eliminating other candidates would be of profit to her, what would she do when she is in control of the country?

I think you’re right. Edwards is a pretty boy and Dems like to run “pretty boys”. It’s the womens vote she needs. She has the black vote. Hence, Bubba’s recent appearance.

Is this a way to get the funds of the “off with their heads” candidates into her kitty.

She wants their funds. As long as Obama is bringing in the gravy, she’ll let him ride. Then when he starts really spending it, she’ll got to her files and voila...the money will be hers.
