And the General points out that the congressman has some fascinating competition for his congressional seat.

too bad mrs kucinich cant run for prez
Please vote for this guy.
uncle joe mccarthy @ 1:
I was thinking the same thing.
I loved Dennis’ reference to the pack of cards. Like the elite hierarchy in our country are nothing more than empty suits pretending to more power over us than they really have.
Dennis is the only Candidate who deserves and needs to be President for our future..
I can not .. and will not vote for any other.
Kucinich 08

My God! Kucinich is so far ahead of everyone in the Dem party. If it weren’t for the corporate media…tsk…tsk…

Maybe we can amend that after Dennis becomes president. Get this man in the White House and I guarantee you that Elizabeth will be the new Princess Dianna, doing charity work all across the globe. What could be better for American than that?
first and i tell every one i know to vote for my boy den.
dang! EIGHT?
well while i’m back, i also tell them why dennis is the man and that it is critically important to get to the primaries and vote for the K-man.
He is the only candidate that actually “GETS IT”…
He gets the Future…
He gets the role of Technology…
He gets Democracy…
He gets the Environment..
He gets the Horror of War…
He gets the Military Industrial Media Complex…
He gets the Medical Industry…
How anyone can consider a different candidate… obviously exposes how they themselves DONT GET IT…
Dennis Kucinich for President 08!
Wow… if that nutcase Jason Werner is the only candidate vying for his seat, Kucinich will never lose his Congressional seat.
Wow, Kurcinich sure looks like a World Leader when he speaks, can’t hardly say that about any of the other candidates…they all kind of look like their running for class president instead of American President.
kucinich=stevenson
ie, the best candidate, but cannot win
and manilla, i dont want mrs kucinich running around the world doing charitable works…i want her on the floor of the house debating the repugs
cant she move to a neighboring district and run for congress?
Dahgrostab’ph-r-i @ 12:
You know something? that is so true. Kucinich talks like an adult. The rest of the candidates talk as if they are speaking to children…maybe middle schoolers!
Dennis Kucinich is just great. The way he’s portrayed by our media is pathetic. They try to make him out to be some kind of extremist.
If you took all the cuurent candidates back to the 1970’s, all the Dems but Kucinich would be Republicans, and the Republicans would be ostracized, fascist loons.
yeah, i’m sorry, i call BS. She’s working for some foreign power. Maybe Israel or China.
Dennis is the most ethical candidate and the only one not beholden to the corporate power structure. GO DENNIS!
Denis rocks…he does GET IT as someone wisely said above…and he is miles ahead in this thinking….and well, he is married to one beautiful first lady , she is so articulate and educated…and together they would be amazing…WHY does the media NOT get it ????
Just a personal recollection from 2 years back.
I brought up the usefulness of blogs to a chairman for Young Democrats a few years back. His response was derision. His view was blogs did nothing while his boss in the party help bring down Enron.
I admire Rep. Kucinich so much. I wish he was my Rep..(Thank God Deborah Pryce is quitting!) I hate how he’s dismissed by the media as crazy. Editorials in the Dispatch and the Plain Dealer have been very unfair to him. BTW, there’s not a chance in Hell of a Republican winning Kucinich’s seat.
uncle joe mccarthy @ 13:
Actually, I disagree. From the Republicans I’ve talked to, the Democratic candidates they seem to respect most are Gravel and Kucinich. Needless to say they hate Hillary, but they identify with Kucinich’s sincerity. They don’t agree with him, but they at least respect him (in the same way many Dems respect Ron Paul). Old school conservatives like Buchanan have said nicer things about him that some prominent so-called liberals have. Lets also not forget that the Republican base in middle America probably has the most to gain from Kucinich’s policies of canceling NAFTA, the WTO, and not-for-profit healthcare. The main obstacle keeping Dennis from gaining the presidency seems to really be a lack of Democratic support.
hey didnt i tell you ? dennis is a humanbeing cant say that for the rest, ill vote for him , and only him, fug hill and the rest!
OK, of course I am a Kucinich supporter because of his ideas; seriously the country and the world NEED him to win. But…HOW…how did he do it? How did he marry such a lovely woman? He’s an inspiration to all goofy looking guys…
Ya just gotta like a guy named Dennis.
I think Kucinich would be a fine president.
I say, let Elizabeth Kucinich and Jeri Kehn Thompson have a catfight, winner’s husband becomes president! It can’t be any worse than the system we have now.
dennis get to bed , youll be sleepy in the morning
Kucinich is so cute.
My vote was made a long time ago…
DK stands for American Values… My CA vote will go to him.
(Although the political race might get a shakeup on Friday!)
Please support this man’s campaign. Dennis is what a president should be. Dennis will bring peace and security to the world.
He’s just the only candidate I can vote for, as so many have said in these comments.
If Hillary is the nominee, I could care less whether she or the Republican wins in November — it’s just more of the same scary shit.
Go Dennis!
People say that Dennis can’t win forget that he can’t get media coverage because he is the only candidate that can take down the corporate media down. He is the only one that can do that. He is the only one that can empower the people to decide their own fate.
If you look at Venezuela and how the corporate media tried to take down Hugo, and how those that were kick out of the palace all fled to Miami, then you would know what is at stake and why Hugo donated oil for the poor that were without heat in the winter. Even our brothers south of us know what happen if you let the corporation take over the country.
Dennis is the only one that has any intention to take down the war machine and the corporates that feed off of it. This vote is so important, that we are not only riding on the war machine but also failing our environments in global warming. This threat to our climates is only going to create more fear and chaos, and Dennis is the only candidate capable of not letting Bush fear mongering antics to undermine his rational thinking.
If Hillary becomes a candidate then I would urge Dennis Kucinich to run as a independent. I would go as far as endorsing Dennis over Al Gore.
I’ll bet they also said that he coulndn’t win his current seat in Congress as well.
“The power of the blogs”, with an unsummarized YouTube post. As someone on dialup, can I say, that’s funny.
I would love to wake up in 2009 to find Dennis my president and Al gore vice president. That combination would change the world. Just once in my lifetime I would like to feel we have the right people in power.

Dennis, I love ya, but I doubt this country could elect a leprechaun. It’s not fair, but it would be like electing someone who looks like an ape.
We should not give hand our vote to a candidate just because s/he is electability, we must hand our precious vote for a candidate who genuinely deserving. We the people have that power. Million dollar campaign contributions is only a vehicle to pay for a high priced media air time. That does not mean anything with substance. It only means more exposure to a puppet candidates owned and employed by the slave takers, BIG corp.
We the people are at the other end of the spectrum of balance between the employer and employee. The CORPORATION has the money but WE have the VOTES. Corporation cannot vote, people CAN.
So for those like mind people who want peace, security, healthcare, a civil society that is governed by laws and not by kings and harmony among a diversity,,,,,,,,,,,then you must vote your conscience. Use your mind. Used all your sense to help determine the right President that will lead us out of the mess BUSH/Cheney put us in.
AS FOR ME………………..Congressman Dennis Kucinich……..I believe is our best hope for the people and our Nation. HE HAS MY VOTE…….
He understand his people. He understand the Constitution. He never forgot where he came from and who he is. He will not sellout his people or his nation. He believe that he can accomplish greater things through PEACE. He has been RIGHT all along about IRAQ. And he has remained consistent with his principles. He is much much more than what we have seen lately from other candidates who have sold themselves to corporate interest.
Our way of life is at RISK and who better know that than Dennis Kucinich. That is why many at the TOP tier and their supporter find him a Threat. There is not ONE thing WRONG they can say about Dennis Kucinich. BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG. HIS VOTING RECORDS speak loud and CLEAR.
Don’t hate him because he is short and right. Love him because he is ONE of US, He is OUR VOICE and OUR HOPE. And what a winner…..a PEACE PRESIDENT with a beautiful future FIRST LADY.
Proud American @ 40:
Just thought that was worth repeating.
JM @ 14:
You are so right. Most of these guys, Bush being the worst offender, talk to us as if we were kindergarteners. It is sickening. Especially when they are lying. Go Dennis. Teach these young Americans what government can be about. Just like JFK did for the generation of youngsters during his time.
kucinich is my kind of pepole , he had the same shitty clothes i wore as a poor kid , the rest skated in life!
Instant Runoff Voting or IRV is definitely preferential in my opinion, especially in cases like this. Rank the damn candidates. Rank your choices.

Let’s do this stuff in our lifetime eh?
Good to see the Dennis Train has rolled through this thread. Go Kucinich!
Look, all we need to do is IGNORE the MSM talking retards and vote for the guy who wins the opinion polls, Dennis Kucinich.
It’s that simple, just vote for him and tell everyone you know to ignore the morons on TV and vote for him as well and he will win.
That and send him some money for Gods sake! He needs it.
Blogs and the internet do have power. Look what it has done for Ron Paul. Too bad Dennis Kucinich supporters haven’t done quite the same for him.
I wish the blogs would also use thier power for other things. Like planning protests. Strike911.org definately could have used help last month. If every blog joined together to protest every illegal thing this admin has done, and continues to do, they would have to take notice. Instead of that post about wearing bracelets don’t you think a planned protest would have a bigger impact?
Wouldn’t MoveOn.org be better off advertising a protest that everyone can take part in?
Or is this all a theater to keep everyone calling each other names to divide and conquer?
No kidding, and RP is a total freak!

Dennis Kucinich and even Ron Paul would benefit tremendously if we could implement Instant Runoff Voting in our country. We wouldn’t have to settle for always picking the lesser of two Main Stream Media chosen evils. Election Reform is one of our only hopes.
Symes @ 48:
I don’t mean that in a good way BTW…
Symes @ 50:
You mean not in the kinky chains and whips kind of way?
I’ll take Kucinich over Clinton any day. He hasn’t been bought by Murdoch.
Hillary ‘08!
Bears take Packers! I know it’s not much of a big deal nationally, but it’s a pretty big deal in Chicago (and in the suburb of Wisconsin).

Have you sought counseling for this?
