Kucinich bandwagon: goddammit, I'm on board too. |

Edited on Sun Nov-25-07 03:39 PM by Deep13
The Cheney impeachment articles are what pushed me over the edge. I really don't want DK to run the country. I don't think he has the ability to manage the Federal government or the national economy, so obviously this is a protest vote. Having said that, I am completely disgusted with the party leadership and their acquiescence in executive abuse of power and pandering to corporate imperial interests.
There are only two candidates that give a shit at all about the Constitution, DK and Ron Paul. Of those two, it seems clear that only DK has actually read the Constitution and understands what it means.
DK never met a peaceful solution he did not like. He has never caved into corporate imperial interests. He's the only one proposing a single-payer universal health care proposal. That may or may not be the best possible solution, but we ought to at least be discussing it.
So far everything the DLC-type folks have done is make us lose power. So far everything the DFA-type folks have done have made us gain power. We picked up one or two governorships in 2005. In the 2006 Senate races we picked up the wacky, left-wing states of Ohio, Montana, Virginia, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. So far, sticking with core principles while being flexible on hot-button social issues has proved the Deaniacs right. Why are we running away from that? Well, it appears that some folks would rather be secure in their positions within the party than make waves in expanding it.
Ohio votes in March. Consequently, this state which has been on the winning side in every election since joining the Union except 1960 will again have no part in choosing the nominee. Considering that, I don't think anyone can blame me for supporting Ohio's own.

1. I'm in the wagon with ya buddy. |

however i believe kucinich would be a great president, I believe he is smart enough to realize that while he might have a great vision he is going to need a bunch of intelligent like minded individuals to make this happen not a bunch of yes me.

3. I'm 100% Behind Kucinich But I Disagree |

that he'd be unable to run the country as you state.
Contrary, I think he'd be a great President in the mold of another JFK. Give Kucinich the bully pulpit and I think you will see a President that can rally the support of an entire Nation to push his Pro-Peace, Pro-Working Class agendas through Congress.
Kucinich 08...Right Then...Right Now...Right For America :patriot:

4. ...Til the wheels come off. |

Too bad MSM can't bring themselves to allow voters to elect nominees in Primaries anymore, but instead insist on beating the Primaries to death in advance with poll after poll after poll, S-electing THEIR candiates of choice to be dubbed as "front-runners" while side-lining the best candidates as footnotes.
Sadly, we'll probably never know how Dennis would have done in an honest and even-handed race.

14. I don't think we really need to worry about that. |
|
The final "choice" is going to be between a corporate imperialist who opposes guns but supports abortion on the one hand and a corporate imperialist who supports guns but opposes abortion on the other.

13. I think he'd do a better job than the others... |
|
Depending on the desired outcome, of course. Constitutionalist, progressive, populist, reformer - I think that he should have much wider appeal than he currently shows.
He's got some pretty interesting plans for Universal HealthCARE (not INSURANCE), restoring the US Constitution AND Habeus Corpus, revitalizing the US economy, repairing infrastructure and of course, getting the US out of Iraq / keeping the US out of Iran.
Support Dennis Kucinich TODAY!
