I love being a Kucinich supporter...

[bicentennial_baby]

Sure, I know he's not going to win it all, etc, etc. I'm still voting for him on 2/5. :thumbsup:

But, supporting DK allows me to be quite relaxed, watching the top tier supporters battle it out. It's kinda fun. :D

Good luck to all this evening! :hi:

[flvegan]

1. Me too.

Me too.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. I love being for Dennis, too

because if the excrement hits the ventilator later on, I can say, "Hey, I voted for DJK!"

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Which I did in 04 as well!

:D

:hi:

[fascisthunter]

6. He Was My Vote in 2004

at least in the primary.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

16. As did I n/t

[ZombieHorde]

3. Same here.

Though I still like to debate for/against other candidates.

[fascisthunter]

5. I Feel The Same Way

and learned a lot about each candidate from that candidate's supporters.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. Hehe...

:toast:

[stillcool]

9. how does that work?

does it matter if the supporter is a good friend..or family member..or can it be anyone?

[fascisthunter]

13. consistency in behavior (nt)

[stillcool]

19. who's behavior?

are you basing your opinion on the posts you read here?

8. I oscillate between Kucinich and Gravel.

Gravel got an endorsement from Noam Chomsky today, so I'm back in Gravel camp. :D

I support both of them, with money even. But, I'm going to vote for Edwards. In the end, I have a pragmatic streak, but politically Kucinich and Gravel are where I'm at.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. I saw that!

I live in MA, so I can afford to vote my conscience. :)

:hi:

[ozone_man]

14. I live in Vermont so I can afford the same.

I put up a good show, but in the end I usually vote my conscience. I support Edwards with more money, but in the end, I might cast my vote for Kucinich or Gravel on March 4th. Depends on how close things are at that point. We live in an imperfect world. :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

15. That is the truth...

Good luck to whomever you vote for! :hi:

(I'm from Greenfield MA, 5-10 miles from the VT border :) )

[redqueen]

11. Hi there!

*sigh*

I feel kinda bad for switching to Edwards this time around. My vote isn't till March, though, so... eh, it'll all be decided by then anyhow.

[bicentennial_baby]

12. I saw that you have left the fold...

:cry:

So why? I'm open to hearing your reasoning :)

:pals:

[redqueen]

17. Just that I think Edwards is the best of the top three...

I stuck with DK till the bitter end last time... but this time I'd like to try to push the most progressive "realistic" candidate instead of hoping against hope. That's probably a fairly weak reason, but *sigh* it wasn't a hastily-made decision.

:pals:

[bicentennial_baby]

18. I completely respect your decision

:pals:

:hug: I appreciate how much you actually *care*, if ya know what I mean.

;)

[redqueen]

20. Aw...

Thanks bi baby... all the same goes from me to you, I hope you know.

:hug:



Oh and btw, did you see this? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3997437&mesg_id=3997495

[bicentennial_baby]

21. Yes! Hahahahaha....Pringles!

:rofl:

And yes, I know it's mutual, my friend :hug:

:patriot:

[redqueen]

22. Good...

Hehehehehe... DK and Elizabeth snarfing on the mixed nuts at ABC's table... hahahaha... man, I love that image. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Yes, you totally are!!

And you should! :bounce:

I know...And Elizabeth shrugging...I love this story! :rofl:

[MuseRider]

23. Wow bb

what a nice way to look at things. I am simply happy he is out there trying desperately to bring the party back from the brink of Republicanism.

Knowing he is out there making his points makes me happy. Knowing that eventually enough people will hear him even without the media makes me happy.

Hey bicentennial_baby, you just made my day happy again! Thanks! :hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

28. I completely agree...

and I'm happy that I made your day better. I'm behind DK 100%.

:hug:

[Tektonik]

24. Sigh

I want to be able to say President Kucinich :(

[bicentennial_baby]

29. As do I...

:pals:

[madrchsod]

26. yes i feel the same

if he does`t pull out of the race before illinois i won`t have to decide between john and barrack....

[bicentennial_baby]

30. I'd still write him in...

I can't help it, I stick to my candidate, no matter what.

[no name no slogan]

27. I hear you loud and clear sister

It's nice to stand outside the circular firing squad and watch the fireworks! :D

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Us and Rick Astley!

:woohoo:

[GreenArrow]

32. well, I feel kind of resentful about it

since the rest of the line-up is the same old same old, and poor old Dennis gets no credit for being ahead of the game on anything, even as he's shunted out of the process, and his platform is co-opted by opportunists.

[MuseRider]

33. Good ideas

are always co-opted. Even if by an opportunist, even then it brings them out to the public. As they get used to thinking that way they might be willing to actually give the real thing a try. Maybe. Or not. American Idol anyone?

[GreenArrow]

34. well, that's the positive view of it

I'm more corrosively cynical, so I tend to suspect that co-opting the ideas renders them sterile, takes the edge off of them so to speak, allows, encourages even, people to accept counterfeits, cheap substitutes of the real thing.

American Idol? I'd rather watch American Gladiators!
