The poster here is a fairly conservative Republican: Witness his attempt at spelling Dennis Kucinich's Polish name.

If Republican's can't even make the effort to spell Kucinich's name correctly, it's no wonder minorities prefer Democrats. :-P



*spoiler*

If you don't feel like clicking the link, he spells it "Casenage"

2. I think it's Croatian.
The origin of his name, I mean, not the butchered freeper spelling. There's a lot of people in Biloxi who are of Croatian descent and a couple of them have told me that Kucinich is a Croatian name.

3. I can't tell...
I see a lot of people say that he's Polish, and he's a member of both Polish and Croatian advocacy groups.

4. I can't tell the difference either.
One characteristic that is common with a lot of their names is the -ich ending, but I've also seen that ending on Russian names and, I think on Polish names as well. I'm sure it's common to slavic languages. Oh well, don't guess it even matters, I'm just interested in stupid shit like that.

5. Historically they vote Repub
The Polish tend to vote Repub, however.


Not sure why that is.

6. Hmmm...
Maybe they equate a right-wing government with being further away from Stalinism.
