Going back and watching Kucinich in earlier debates via YouTube, one thing I noticed was how he usually said thank-you for the question and was always very polite but firm and stern in his beliefs.

Since I published Part 1, I heard in response two distinct voices, “Thank God people are starting to get Kucinich!” and the other was “He can’t win.” Well, neither can Hillary but that doesn’t stop people from supporting her and dumping stink-loads of cash in her bank account. She is the only Democratic candidate that will motivate conservatives to come to the polls and vote AGAINST her. Obama and Edwards don’t fuel that level of hatred. And in America, that is saying a LOT about Obama. At least America is maturing on ONE issue.

There was one other minority position, but it was the most disturbing. Paraphrasing here, “We tried voting our beliefs with McGovern and you saw where that got us!” Friends, the Republicans ALWAYS vote on their beliefs and they are more successful than the Democrats. Why must progressives lower their standards? The Republicans don’t. Since I have been voting, conservatives got two terms for Reagan, one for Bush Senior and TWO for Bush Junior - the later being the WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

The fact isn’t the Dems fail because they vote their beliefs, the Dems fail because that can’t articulate what they believe in. Jesse Helms was bat-shit crazy but he constantly won and he had NO problem articulating his beliefs.

Well, this is true to a point. Dennis Kucinich always speaks his mind, directly to the point with nary a waver. You know where he stands.

My question is, do you know where YOU stand?

2. America is not India. No revolution here will ever be made by a pacifist.

3. Excellent post. Thank you.

What I don't get is....when one is presented with a candidate that they agree with - maybe even 100%, why would someone NOT support him completely??

Loved your point about the conservatives always voting their beliefs and winning.

I really like that Dennis always speaks his mind, is consistent and doesn't back down. That's more than all the others combined do.

4. agreed, but....

...it's obviously easier to unite republicans than democrats. perhaps that's because the center has moved so far to the right that a large portion of the dems find it easier to unite with bush than with kucinich. the american people on the other hand are closer to kucinich (i believe, if the issues are presented truthfully).

recommended.

5. Who's to say "McGovern lost"

later we found out about "CREEP" the committee to re-elect the president, who's to know really, we were terribly naive and
everything stopped with Nixon resigning. But one thing I remember from All the Presidents Men, the RNC was awash with cash
in the safe, and "rat-f***king which was their term for sabotage Dem campaigns was serious biz to them.

7. does anyone have the link?

It was an internet poll done a couple of weeks ago on issues only (no candidate names attached) and Kucinich scored like a 60% approval whereas Clinton scored like 6%... what was the polling org? I'm sorry to say i didn't bookmark it...

help?

9. He's the only true Progressive up there....Edwards is the closest after that.
