To all the Kucinich supporters
My sincere apology for making fun of Kucinich. I just read a piece in the LA Times and realize he is a man of integrity and great conviction! I will not make fun of him again.

For what its worth.

Jason

3. Thank you Jason...more people are seeing this
about Dennis- finally.
I really thank you for your apology...you didn't have to do it.

Dennis inspires us all to be better, I truly believe that.

Peace & hope

4. Thank you Jason
It takes strength to admit error.
You have the ability to see past the not
insubstantial smokescreen thrown in front
of Dennis. That speaks well of you.

If you really want to see how well he had
thought the current issues out, check out his
position papers on www.kucinich.us

But in any case, thank you for your apology, and thoughtful remarks!

5. Yes, integrity and conviction
I hope that you will now realize that making fun of someone without knowing anything about them does a disservice not only to them, but to you, too.

6. Well if I may say, I was funny. And no
I don't think that is true in all cases.

8. Yes, Dennis Kucinich is a fine and great man indeed
and that is why I continue to support him. You won't see me changing my mind until his name no longer appears on a ballot, believe me on that one.

I just got a video that his campaign sent me for a contribution I made about 2 days in the life of Dennis Kucinich. He is indeed a proud American! They don't come any better than Dennis Kucinich!

:D :D :D

I hope the media awakens to this reality of this fine, superb candidate! I find nothing about him to criticize because he is the REAL DEAL (a slogan that Kerry is now using :grr: ) ...

In the meantime ...



:dem: :kick:

11. Oh, I see...so now that the LA Times says he's ok, he's ok
Your apology is all well and good...but if you are going to keep listening to only mainstream media, you're going to be wrong more often than not...for what its worth. The larger question is why you're so behind the curve.

14. DK was never my candidate. I don't think he can win the general.
He has some good ideas. Don't get me wrong, I'm not endorsing DK as our nominee. He can't beat the republicans. I'm just saying he deserves more respect. And from now on I'll give him respect.

15. That's really honorable
Thanks for finally reading up on him. He is truly a wonderful human being and IMO the best representative of the people.

Glad you got to see why we're all so enamored of him. :)

16. very good of you
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 04:57 PM by goodhue
I find a lot of folks joke about him without an understanding of who he is or what he respresents. But its hard to blame them since they get info from media.
