Robert Kennedy, Jr. actually said...

"I'm sorry to say that while democracy may still be alive at the grassroots, it has become a little more than a slogan for our political institutions, for our media, and for our government."

"It continues to survive in the breath and in the idealistic human energies that still thrive beneath the canvas of neglect and of official and institutional corruption."

"I left the party to run as an independent, the mainstream of American politics and journalism derided my decision."

"Our party was a bulwark against big money interests and corporate power."
