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 see it more as a case of the Washington globalists seeking to eliminate those who still remember who they work for.

My comment might have been misunderstood. I was suggesting the poster was helping shoot his own.

I meant that YOU were shooting at OUR side. Why on earth would you do that? Do you feel that the MSM, RATS, liberals, left, etc. are not doing a good enough job that they need your help?

I want to see a Dennis Kucinich/Cindy Sheehan ticket. I want them to provide a flag for all the moonbats to rally around.

Quit your whining. If you can’t accept a simple fact you should get back under the porch.

Mike Huckabee was just on FOX news saying that he’s sure it happens. He also said that he would be doing it right along with them if he were in the top tier.

“They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick ‘em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time”

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.

Why did you include David Duke in that comment? He was a Democrat (literally) who merely ran as a Republican in an open-primary state.

You really are clueless here aren’t you? Here’s an article about something that RATS are doing, AND YOU FEEL COMPELLED to point out how the GOP is probably the same thing. Just completely pathetic. Aiding and abetting the enemy.

What Obama should do is pick this up and use it to call Hillary a racist and she was trying to eliminate him from the debates.

That would shake things up a bit.
