1. In the future, I will support the representatives who support Kucinich now.
Whoever runs for re-election should understand this.

5. Impeach Cheney, too--otherwise we'd end up with President Cheney, and he will just pardon Bush. n/t

3. If you want
"Rep." is newspaper style, so that's how it comes out of me.

This presumed familiarity with "Dennis" (and "Barack," for that matter) strikes me as quite rude.

13. I can't really say
I was alive for a bit less than four years of Eisenhower's reign, so I don't really know the sentiment of the time.

I do know, though, that "Ike" was a nickname in wide use and came with the owner's tacit (and possibly expressed) approval; "I Like Ike" is a famous campaign slogan. I believe he was also frequently called that before he was president.

7. i usually call him 'Champ'
short for Champion. I also call him my candidate. . . anytime he's running for the Presidency.

but, tomorrow, i'll just call him and thank him for doing his job. I always know i can depend on him.
