OK DU: Regardless of your Candidate Let's all offer a "Standing O" for Dennis Kucinich!

[Perky]

He ran a disciplined, principled campaign and all candidates should consider him a model of how thes proceedings should be conducted.

1. You ran an honorable and sincere race, Dennis. Hold your head high.

[Nick_Irving]

282. Without Kucinich, who's worth voting for?

The media killed his campaign in the end. Wise move to focus on re-election to congress.

All democrats watch this video:

Best of luck to Dennis for OHIO's 10th.

2. Pleased to be the first to K&R!

Thank you Dennis, for standing up!

[TwilightZone]

3. Geez, thanks for inducing vertigo.

...the room is spinning...

Thanks to Dennis Kucinich for bringing a unique voice to the madhouse that is a presidential primary.

[redqueen]

4. He's a politician I actually *admire*.

And that is saying something.

He's one of the best... on policy and integrity. It's a damn shame his candidacy suffered for it... but that's politics in today's America. *sigh*


Dennis: :yourock:

5. Dennis Kucinich is a big man, working hard to protect our rights.

I'm glad he's on our side. :thumbsup:

165. Show Your Support For Dennis @19actionnews/cbs local affiliate station

Look at this poll at this cbs Cleveland station and ... honestly, I am appalled by the ignorance of that communnity...
http://19actionnews.com/Global/story.asp?S=7769767

One of the dems running against Dennis(Cimperman) is running horribly misleading ads head over heels saying Dennis has voted against veterans benefits, etc. etc. and this station is doing all it can to mislead the public against Dennis. Please take action in support of Dennis and helping him maintain his seat in the House!

[Rhiannon12866]

234. Jesus! I agree with you! What a load of crap!

Dennis has been the one candidate who does support the troops, wants them out of harm's way, and has had the courage to speak out and to vote his conscience, no matter how this hurt him politically! I can't believe that 78% (when I voted) of his constituents thought that it was about time that he dropped out... He's been my candidate since 2003 and I still think he's absolutely the best!:grr:

[DogPoundPup]

309. Thanks to all ...

Who may have commented at the 19action'neuterednews' site in support of Dennis. OUTSTANDING COMMENTS! PEACE ~

[DutchLiberal]

270. Can't Dennis sue for slander? And force the ads of the air?

I guess not? I mean, I've seen the commercials in the 2004 election. The outright lies were appalling! Something like that wouldn't be legal in my country.

[DogPoundPup]

310. "Something like that wouldn't be legal in my country."

What a wonderful country you live in! Count yourself very, very lucky. All govt. and corporate people in America seem to be a people full of lies, deceit, shallowness and greed (getting what one wants at ANY cost); but to be real, human nature is that way to some degree, but the powerful don't even try to hide their unscrupulous, unethical, immoral ways...'those snakes' consider it 'good business practice'.

Count yourself lucky very lucky DutchLiberal!

14. Somebody told me recently that Dennis was a candidate of the future.

I didn't want to believe it at the time but feared it was true.

His marginalization by the corporate media was infuriating.

Yet he's said that he already won.

He got Elizabeth.

So tra la la

19. He's always great on the issues.

The sad part is that his dropping out will probably be the best media coverage he gets.

[stickernation]

176. you said it

but maybe this cheney impeachment story has wings. if the cheneymafia overreacts, he might just be getting started.

he's got to stay in congress though, i don't like that there's a "tough competitor" nipping at him there.

[LittleClarkie]

20. Cheers to you Dennis

an honorable man.

[northzax]

21. this was disciplined and pricipled?

he ran a nonexistent campaign filled with stunts and gimmicks. If this was disciplined, the fred Thompson is general Patton.

[LeftyMom]

56. Kindly go piss on somebody else's thread for once?

Geez, some people...

[Kucinich4America]

59. Considering you run around quoting pieces of shit like Bruce Reed

It's obvious you have no idea what "discipline" or "principled" mean.

Do not fuck with me right now, DLC'ers. :grr:

[northzax]

122. Bruce Reed?

ok, whatever. Seems to me that actually running for president is he best way to become president. You know, go to Iowa and NewHampshire, over and over asking for votes, giving speeches, kissing babies, having tea with old ladies, etc. It may be silly that Iowa and New Hampshire are the important early places, it you do actually have to go there and ask people to vote for you. Iowa and new hampshire don't reward money, they reward time and effort. And I see a lot of kucinich people who didn't go out to Iowa and work. I see a candidate, and his supporters, who simply don't want to put the work in to run. In 1999 I quit my job and moved to Iowa to volunteer for Gore. In 2004 I did the same thing. (with pay this time) for daschle in south Dakota. I trust you did the same for your beloved kucinich? Or are you just a big talker, like he is? If you think he's that great, where is your dedication? How much money did you give? How much time? You doubt me, but I have given my blood sweat and treasure for candidates I believe in, before you complain about the short shrift your guy got, look at how much you really did for him? How many of the passionate dennisites went to Iowa and NH to volunteer? A hundred people on the ground in either state makes a big difference, were you there? Or did you spend the campaign season behind your keyboard? How many hours did you spend going door to door in either state educating voters? Huh? That's right, I am the asshole according to the view from your keyboard.

[Truth2Tell]

181. blah blah blah blah blah

Blah blah blah blah blah

[PresidentObama]

149. Keep fighting, Dennis. Your country needs you. One door closes, others open.

March on!!

[frogcycle]

105. oh, stifle yourself

[Alexander]

110. Does your state have a troll booth?

[dionysus]

111. welcome to worchester, dolla 25 please!

[northzax]

124. nah

people like st dennis won't allow us to vote.

[radiclib]

141. "Stunts", "gimmicks" and "won't allow us to vote"??

Elaborate, please? :shrug:

[Alexander]

314. He can't elaborate. He's talking out of his ass.

[RoccoR5955]

135. To quote my favorite robot....

...Bender Bending Rodriguez,
northzax,
Bite my shiny metal ass!

[rhett o rick]

172. yeah like pushing for impeachment of Bush and Cheney is a gimmick. Why do I think you

support Bush/Cheney? you give Democrats a bad name. I bet I can guess your candidate, republican lite.

[northzax]

244. As a campaign stunt?

Yes, it is a gimmick. He knew it wouldn't work, but it got him some press, so might as well try it. You don't think he seriously thought it would work, do you? Or that he seriously thought he would make any noise nationally in the primaries? You have to actually run for president to be successful, not ignore the early primary states completely.

I just find it odd that a 'candidate' who inspires such passion online inspires so little in the real world. I just wonder why there wasn't a groundswell of volunteer labor for Kucinich like there was for Paul? Any ideas? Was it because , as I think, supporters knew he wasn't taking this seriously, so they weren't into it that much? I wonder.

And you may mock who I support, but at least I care enough to donate time and money, I'ce trudged door to door in freezing weather asking for votes, day after day. Have you? Or do only give yourself carpal tunnel talking about it? I know a lot of people in both states, only one of them ever saw a kucinich campaign person. Where are guy netroots when he needed you? Why didn't you care enough to go out there and help? Why weren't you there?

[ima_sinnic]

252. impeachment a "gimmick"? what a moronic comment..

and I hope you show up at my door in freezing Maine weather trying to get my vote for that DLC DINO corporate a$$-ki$$er, war monger, status quo lover you're so fond of. Cause I'd love to tell you where to shove it. You won't be invited in for cocoa.

[northzax]

312. So you aren't an Edwards or obama supporter, I gather

yes, kucinich's impeachment attempts were gimmicks and stunts. Sorry to break the news to you. But I promise not to come to your door talking about the most conservative democrat remaining in the race, I am not working for senator Obama.

[f the letter]

253. as a NH resident and vocal Kucinich supporter,

i can honestly say you have not the faintest idea what you're talking about. People are working for Kucinich here, i was one of them. Unpaid, and maybe insignificant to you, but doing it. Spreading awareness of the reality of the future without single-payer universal health care, the future with a war criminal president who should be appearing at the Hague not even getting impeached, the future with extraordinary renditions and secret prisons but no habeus corpus or evidence of any kind in military 'trials,' the future with unchecked surveillance of ordinary citizens... you know, all those things that other candidates won't even talk about these issues except in the vaguest of platitudes and with horribly inadequate solutions.

What we did was maybe small, but it was something. We hosted events to watch the debates (you know back before Kucinich was corporated out of the debates), talked to people who would listen, asked questions about what mattered, stood around at major intersections holding placards, handing out signs and information, talking to people who would listen.. etc. Do you think that because more people did that for the candidate that you support that your personal work meant more than mine? That's horseshit.

As the man has said himself, a courageous vote is the only one worth casting. Myself and a scant but dedicated 4000 people cast a courageous vote in November in this state, and if i could i would do it again next November.

So take your questions about why we weren't there volunteering and put them in some place other than this Kucinich appreciation thread.

Good lord..

[rhett o rick]

268. WOW. Such venom. First I didn't mock your candidate. I was guessing who your candidate is

based on your attitude. Your attitude isn't what I would call a friendly liberal attitude. To say such nasty, hateful things about another candidate (even after he drops out) isn't what I call a "Democrat" attitude.

Do I think impeachment will happen? No. Because our party is full of chicken-shits that are afraid of the republicans. But I do appreciate those that are willing to stand up against the tyranny of the corporations (that doesn't include the DLC nor the candidates that voted with Bush to invade Iraq).

Will you continue your support if your candidate chooses Lieberman as a running mate?

[northzax]

313. why would you assume I support Obma?

became he's the most conservative dem left? Interesting.

And my vitriol is for those who could change the debate, but can't even be bothered to try. This campaign was pathetic, compared to the good effort and showing in 04, dk didn't even try this year, instead he acted like it was his due. What a waste.

[rhett o rick]

316. With your attitude I assume you are a Clinton supporter. nm

world" heard of her? I expect you only pay attention to MSM.

[leftstreet]

292. Lol, no I was just asking about his record in Congress

He seems so beloved here, and I wondered why.

But to your point - yes, brand recognition politics will probably put Clinton in the WH.

[DutchLiberal]

272. Most people in the real word still think Iraq had something to do with 9/11.

So that's not a convincing argument.

[leftstreet]

294. That's probably true

And none of our elected officials have tried to change that perception.

[bear425]

52. Now that I got over my epileptic seizure from smiley overload...

I wholeheartedly agree. Dennis may not be the "perfect" candidate, but he's a person of great integrity of whom we can all be proud.

Dennis :yourock:

[tishaLA]

53. Kudos to Kucinich!

[Kucinich4America]

55. Bring on those articles of CHIMPEACHMENT, Dennis!

I continue to stand with you, for the resurrection of the REAL American Democracy! :patriot:

[NastyRiffraff]

57. Hear, hear!

Dennis added a lot to this campaign cycle. I'm sorry to see him go, but now he can put the full force of his talents to things that must be done in the House, such as impeachment.

(Imagine a bunch of smileys here)

[IronLionZion]

He is STILL my choice.

And I've learned how to work with it.

Sadly, now, I won't be able to *vote my conscience* - I was soooo looking forward to it on Feb 5.
I'm saddened that you're out, but I understand the reasons.
And, please stay with your message in Congress and keep knocking against the wall of *Pelosi Indifference* towards Impeachment.

I wish we had a population of sane, mature, courageous people who would have seized on your vision.

But, we don't.

You are too good for us.

[bullwinkle428]

95. DENNIS : As they used to say in the old beer commercial,

"I LOVE YOU, MAN!!!

For never losing sight of the big picture - ending this disgraceful excuse for a "war" and trying to ensure health care for everyone in this nation!!

For showing incredible passion in trying to get the message out there, and keeping every one of the other candidates honest in letting them know what WE THE PEOPLE want!!!

[samdogmom]

96. I'm happy to chime in!

I wish things could have been different. When I took an online "test" to match my beliefs with a candidate--I matched Dennis 100%. I certainly hope his effort to get impeachment proceedings against Cheney started are successful. Thank you Dennis! You make me proud to be a Democrat!

[John Gauger]

97. You know what would improve your post?

Adding some smileys.

[Alexander]

98. Now let's hope he can get re-elected and IMPEACH Bush and Cheney!

[99th_Monkey]

99. Yep.. Now we'll get the nominee "we deserve", sadly it won't be Dennis

Kucinich refugee seeks Democratic candidate with balls enough to impeach and/or indict WH Crimes.

For now, Edwards will have to do.

...And now for a big had for that LIttle Guy from Ohio who always stands taller for America and what really counts.

Where now for Dennis?

[Bunkie0913]

This campaign has taught me that it is gonna take several more years and effort to overcome the system of corruption. I'm giving more money to Dennis and his congressional campaign. Dennis Kucinich speaks for ME!

115. It's a shame.

DK was too liberal to win the democratic nomination. What's wrong with the Democratic party?
Too liberal? I think DK may have been too good for the Democratic party.

[Tarc]

116. He ran a "look at me" vanity campaign

And is far less relevant to the political process than he thinks he is.

That's sad.

[Tarc]

143. Do you wilt under critcism like this in real life too?

[frog92969]

151. Look, my first ignore!

Goodbye ignorant person.
:hi:

[f the letter]

254. i disagree

Doing the right thing when nobody else will is righteousness and not vanity. When eight people are watching a gang rape and one stops it, is this vain? Until another candidate will speak out against war crimes, crimes against humanity, lying a nation into war, scaring a nation into surrendering the bill of rights, etc, then he's the only shot. i hope i get the chance to be so vain someday.

And his relevance is much greater than more than a few of the other candidates in my opinion. He is there to raise the level of discourse and actually talk about the issues, which is more than i can say for the 'major' candidates. Without him, the debates would be reduced dangerously close to grunting and arm waving and 'i love america more than you, 9/11 9/11 9/11!'

[immoderate]

262. Neatly summed up. Dennis, to a degree, has kept the others honest.

And that was why he was shunned and ultimately, banished. You can't have somebody constantly injecting reality into the discourse. :)

At least the young people watching got to see what a real progressive sounds like.

[BobTheSubgenius]

121. There is ALWAYS room for someone

that both elevates and expands the debates. Any debate.

From a totally pragmatic (and somewhat wistful) POV, it's a very useful role, and one for which he has both the principles and fortitude. I hope he does it again...and again....

(with apologies...)

Though they belted you and flayed you
By the living god that made you
You're a better man than I am, Dennis K

[Pushed To The Left]

123. K&R! Dennis Kucinich is a great man!

:yourock:

[Samantha]

126. Dennis serves a unique role in our party

and no one can take that away from him. His voice does raise issue to some provocative issues we want discussed. Some of these are items other candidates polling much higher will not touch because to do so will incur adverse political reaction. It is to Kucinich's credit, he knows it is not all about him but the issues.

[puebloknot]

127. Another day, Dennis! And now we need you to stay in the House.

Yours is a unique voice for social justice, and you're not going away -- no matter where you go!

Above and beyond...and appreciated...wb

130. Hey Dennis responded to my letter

in 2004 here in Oregon-not exactly his constituency-and I still have it. He has always been one straight up dude. I hear he's still pushing for impeachment. If only we had a thousand more of him.

[NanceGreggs]

132. America WON the minute this man entered the race ...

He asked the questions that need answering, he raised the level of political discourse to what it could be instead of what the MSM dictates it should be, and he forced the other candidates, on both sides, to recognize that the topics of political conversation should be focused on the needs of the voters rather than the soundbytes that 'fit' the bottom-screen crawl.

Mr. Kucinich, with all due respect ...

242. I stand with Dennis...

And display his avatar proudly!
:dem:

[MasonJar]

243. Absolutely love your rocking post! Kudos galore to Dennis!!!!!!!!

[harun]

245. Proud to take my hat off to DK (n/t)

:yourock:

[colorado_ufo]

246. The Great One.

Dennis, you are a beacon of strength, intelligence, and integrity. And, you are an inspiration.

[colorado_ufo]

248. Here's to you, Dennis!

:toast: :loveya: :yourock:

[madmom]

247. BRAVO DK

[vanlassie]

249. Thanks, Dennis. You are a True Patriot.

[rhett o rick]

251. A late k & r. Dennis rocks. nm

[LanternWaste]

255. He is indeed one of the Good Guys...

Kucinich is one of the most steadfast men of principled convictions I've ever been made aware of. He is indeed one of the Good Guys...

[cyclezealot]

257. I have zero enthusism for the other

trolls . Anyone think Dennis qualifies as a short person. Look at the other trolls left. I have not watched these meaningless debates since before Nevada . If I did , the remaining three, use so many generalizations and personal invective; If I did I am afraid I'd not vote Democratic come November.

[Strawman]

259. Slow clap

:applause:

[mod mom]

260. Great job bringing the issues to the table!

[Bluenorthwest]

261. Dennis and Elizabeth get my gratitude

I heard Dennis speak early on in the run. He got more done and got heard more than I expected at the time. He has been a wonderful candidate. A lot of work and just for the sake of Democracy.

Now I'm with Edwards and if he goes, I can not say. A vote against the GOP is all I can hope for once again. I do enjoy voting against them, but voting for a candidate just once would be a thrill.

[Ellen Forradalom]

263. Yes (All-Three)!

We need more like him!

[DFW]

264. He said things that needed to be said

When no one else was willing, when no one else dared.
He knew he would lose, but because of that knew he
had nothing to lose. Good for him!

"I'm Dennis the Congress-man! I'm not just an also-ran!
"I say without blinking what everyone's thinking
"But no one else dares or can!"

265. Dennis, man, ......

..... we LOVE you! Your courage and purity of vision are something for ANY candidate for public office to aspire to. :woohoo: :applause:

Now! On to holding BushCo's feet to the flames! :grr:

[L. Coyote]

266. CHANTING: Impeach, impeach, impeach, ........

[DutchLiberal]

267. The world would have loved Dennis as president of the US!

I know I would.

Thank you for all your input in these primaries, Mr. Kucinich! And thank you for at least trying to impeach Bushler and the Dick!

:yourock:

[madokie]

269. Peace be with Dennis Kucinch and family

He would have made a great President for us the average joes

[Duncan]

271. Thanks Dennis - You are great.

If Dennis wasn't up in it I would be far more hopeless than I am.

[undeterred]

273. He's the only candidate I really WANT to vote for.

[pauldp]

274. He was the BEST candidate and like Dean before him he was marginalized

by the M$M.

Good luck Dennis.
:headbang: :yourock:

[alstephenson]

275. Thank you, Congressman Kucinich!!!

[emlev]

276. Dennis Kucinich--he's actually a LEADER!

And he's doing his damnedest to lead this country where it needs to go.

[puerco-bellies]

277. I so sorry both to see him go, and especially because his message was squashed.

He was the only one who really spoke for progressives.

[Uncle Joe]

278. Thank you, Dennis Kucinich for the service you've given the nation and your passion for the people

:applause:

Thank you for the thread, Perky.:thumbsup:

[Michael101]

279. Thank You Mr. Dennis Kucinich..

I have learned a lot from you as a person.
I did not know about you in 2004 but I'm so glad you stole my heart in 2008!!

[NoSheep]

280. Thank you Dennis. For all you have done and continue to do.

[donkeyotay]

281. Thank you, Dennis, for extending the debate to include the Left.

Thank you for positions from the war and the permanent bases and the oil law to actual universal health care and the economics of for-profit insurance. Thank you for the resolution to impeach Cheney. Thank you for all the times you stood and spoke for us.

:patriot:

[sallyseven]

283. Ok thanks for caring about the US.

[JPZenger]

284. Does he have any campaign debt?

Does Kucinich have any Presidential campaign debt that needs to be paid off? I was glad he paid for the New Hampshire recount to put that issue to bed.

This morning, CNN said there are 4 opponents for his House seat. Are any of them a serious threat?

[road2000]

285. He has my enduring respect and admiration. n/t

[matthewf]

286. DENNIS!!!!

You the man!

[alittlelark]

287. A toast to Dennis!

[Pooka Fey]

288. Thank you Dennis for always doing the right thing.

[AtomicKitten]

289. Amen!

K&R

[Synnical]

290. I'll stand for Dennis! Thanks. n/t

[phrigndumass]

291. Standing O? SCREAMING O!

I hope Dennis will continue to lend his voice and his insights to Americans throughout this year's election process, regardless of his status as a candidate.

[Pathwalker]

293. I love him and I wish he was my representative.

I love all his positions on the issues, too. Thank you, Dennis - you tried.

[mahina]

295. Aloha Dennis,

you raised the level of debate when you were able, and I for one will miss you. But thank you for your good work, and your faith in the American people.

I especially appreciate that he pulled out now, because here anyway, he pulled major support away from Obama and Edwards.

[pleah]

296. I'm so glad he is still fighting for impeachment. Go Dennis! K&R

[leftofthedial]

297. no actual Democrats left to vote for

New generation of corporatism here we come doo dar doo dar

[jtrockville]

298. Go get 'em Dennis.

[bbgrunt]

299. Dennis: thanks. Here comes a donation for your congressional run.

[desertflamingo]

300. sorry...

i can't agree. when he threw his supporters to obama in iowa i washed my hands of him. i was going to vote for him here in calif but i was completely turned off. hypocritical. egotistical. terrible. i had a lot of respect for him until that. obama is EXACTLY the type of politician kucinich was supposedly against. edwards if hands down closer to dennis' views. i believe it was vindictive because of what edwards SUPPOSEDLY said to hillary after a debate. well, i'm not interested in petty paybacks when my country's future is at stake.

EDWARDS '08 & '12

[NewHampster]

301. I love Dennis

I like Elizabeth more but I do like the wacko guy

[FlyingSquirrel]

302. Kickin' in hopes of 300 recs

:woohoo:

[rcsl1998]

303. DENNIS BADLY NEEDS $$$ FOR HIS RE-ELECTION BID

There is a concerted effort to get Dennis out of Congress - Big money is being used against him - Dennis needs more than a pat on the back now - He stood up for us, will we return the favor?

[Subdivisions]

305. I don't have much, but what I can spare is his. I challenge the

rest who have thanked Dennis in this thread to puncuate that gratitude and respect by donating whatever you can to held DK keep his seat in Congress.

[appal_jack]

304. Dennis is a true American Hero

I won't pretend to agree with every one of Dennis' positions, but I have SO MUCH respect for the man and all he does to keep the ideal of America alive. At a time when our democratic republic seems besieged by enemies both foreign and domestic, Dennis is an inspiration for all patriots!

:patriot:

-app

[Stuart G]

306. What a great campaigner and person..

He hit every note. and he hit them right.......

[lebkuchen]

307. Those of us on US bases in Germany need someone like you

if we can't have you.

[shenmue]

308. Absolutely. I have a ton of respect for him.

:patriot:

I'd love to see him named Secretary of State, or an ambassador, if he ever decides he did not want to continue in the Senate. He could really do some good work. He reminds me a lot of Jimmy Carter.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

311. I can't have an O while standing

Believe me, I've tried.

[L. Coyote]

315. WOW! 314 posts and 261 recs

[countryjake]

317. And here's another!

Thank you Cong. Kucinich!
