Unless Gore Runs, Congressman Kucinich has my vote

[berni_mccoy]

Mr. Kucinich has my vote because he speaks the plain truth. He has been right in the past and has suffered both politically and financially for it. He should receive the Kennedy Award for Courage in Politics. He has held true to his principles in the past despite being slammed for it. When he was proven right in the end, he was gracious about it and all the while, during his suffering political and personal woes, he continued his work to making the world a better place. The only other possible candidate who could have this said about them is former Vice President Gore, who I do hope runs, and if he does, he should select Mr. Kucinich as his running mate.

I just made a donation to Rep. Kucinich's campaign for 2008. I hope many here at DU do as well.

:kick: for Kucinich!

woops, forgot the disclaimer: photo brazenly snitched from the Kleebster ...

6. I agree with the OP-- what is the context of that great photo?

[dweller]

13. the context?

i wish i knew. But as disclaimed above, i saved it from a John Kleeb post during the 2004 primaries, i think...

I don't even know if the young Kleeb is still posting here, it's been awhile since i've seen his input.
But it was a photo he had taken i believe, and had signed by them both.

my dream ticket.

8. GREAT Photo!

Thanks for posting that.

[LWolf]

23. I hope this photo is an early shot of

the next administration. :D

I wonder what is Kleeb up to these days?

31. They look like brothers :-D

If only we could be so fortunate.

7. I think they would make an unstoppable team

9. K&R

I supported Dennis in '04 and am happy to be able do so again in '08.

11. What about John Edwards?

But I'm loving Kucinich & Gore!

[eridani]

12. He has my vote even if Gore does run

In a caucus state, I can always switch to Gore or Edwards in Spokane or Denver when that becomes necessary.

14. Yes...I worked for Kerry but donated to both of them last time because I wanted Kucinich to be HEARD

Looks like it's back to that again. But, unless Gore runs ...I'm not working for the others...and although I know Kucinich doesn't have a chance...I want his message to be heard.

How long do we go with these Primary things where it's all chosen so far ahead.

I'm not into DYNASTIES and I'm not into INEXPERIENCE...that kind of knocks out...the two front contenders I'll be forced to accept. But...I've had enough. Front Runners throw Dem Actists under the Bus as fast as they can. That we got Howard Dean as DNC Chair was a huge bone tossed at us...but he's not there much longer before Terry MacAuliff replaces him...to get on the BIG CORPORATE BAND WAGON...and it's more of the same old crap. Sweep the Bushie Crimes under the rug...more FREE TRADE/FAST TRACK an the rest of the shit.

[eridani]

20. Yes, that's the point. Supporting him supports his agenda

 End wars of choice
 Divert the money saved to inventing the next energy economy
 Universal health care—everybody in, nobody out, no exceptions
 Support fair trade and end outsourcing of American jobs
 Require paper ballots and election auditing
 Stop torture and restore our Bill of Rights

Bottom line, do you want these things or not? If you do, support Kucinich as long as possible.

15. I'm debating between Kucinich and Gravel, leaning towards Gravel.

I could tolerate a third choice, though.

[BlooInBloo]

16. So you trust Gore to be President, but won't support who HE thinks is best?

(unless pigs fly, and Gore decides to support Kucinich)

[RufusTFirefly]

17. I trust Gore to be President because he won the election...

... but that doesn't mean that I'm going to automatically agree with all of his decisions. This is a democracy, after all, not a rule by decree.

As you may recall, Gore endorsed Dean in 2004. That was the right decision. But look where it got them both.

[lonestarnot]

18. Send money. He need mo money!

[davekriss]

19. My position too (n/t)

[LittleClarkie]

21. If Gore or Clark don't run

I have no fuckin' clue what happens to my vote then.

[frustrated_lefty]

22. I've taken essentially the exact same stance.

It's time we had leaders with the conviction to back up their words.

25. I'm Supporting Kuchinich as well. nt

:kick:

[info being]

26. I agree 100%

I supported Kucinich financially last time around. For some reason I'm having a hard time doing this again...until something fundamentally changes about the viability of his campaign. But he's the only polititian who I agree with and trust.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

27. That's Cool. After He Loses The Primary Though You'll Still Passionately Support Whoever Won

though right?

[info being]

28. Not me

I'll *passionately* support whoever I'm passionate about.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

29. Just Remember To Refrain From Doing So Here. Thanks.

[info being]

30. I'll do as I wish...thanks

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. Actually, You Won't. As Per DU Rules, You Can't. You Should Read Them Again.

34. Hey, Not My Rules Pal. But You Really Should Re-Read Them.

You are in obvious need of a refresher. :hi:

[LSK]

35. if you are serious about Kucinich, you have to VOLUNTEER NOW

AND DONATE.

He is going to need all the help he can get. He is facing long odds of winning and just saying you are going to vote for him is NOT ENOUGH.

You have to work your ass off for the next year and lots of people do if he stands even half a chance.

If you are not willing to do the work, what good is your one vote going to be???
