This 1/3 is Dedicated to Dennis Kucinich.

[Bonobo]

He was the only one that really got it. I tried to write more, but nothing more needs to be said really.

*His one minute speech, given in opposition to the Occupation of Iraq just now on CSPAN, reminded me of this.

1. Thanks, Dennis - you were my "first love" in this campaign.

[grantcart]

2. he is right on so many issues its hard to catalog

[Bluenorthwest]

3. Dennis in the race

Made it worth while. He was the only one I agreed with about much of anything, and he and Gravel were the only ones who agree with me that I am an equal human being with equal rights.

[TechBear_Seattle]

4. I really wish he had been able to stay in the race for President

I would very gladly do to both Obama and Clinton what they persist in doing to GLBT voters for just one chance to vote for Kucinich (alas, he dropped out just before the Washington caucuses.)

[GrandmaJones7]

5. ANYONE but Obama!

-if only Dennis stood a chance, he'd be our candidate.

But as things stand, I'm either voting Hillary into the oval office, OR I WILL WRITE IN DENNIS' ON THE BALLOT due to all the mean-spirited Obama , meanies here.

[Bonobo]

6. Ridiculous nonsense. Pure drivel. Thanks.

[Forkboy]

13. LOL

[redqueen]

14. You are hilarious.

Enjoy your stay... I'll sure enjoy your laughable posts! :hi:

[snooper2]

27. So, what was your tombstoned handle anyway?

I am DYING to know

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Catherina]

30. "Our" candidate

:rofl:

Anyone who's going to vote for Hillary because of all the "meanies" didn't get Kucinich to begin with.

You're a funny Grandma.

[Orsino]

37. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[BumRushDaShow]

7. K&R

Hope he gets to contribute to some of the Democratic planks at the convention. :thumbsup:

[GrandmaJones7]

8. -but the Obamabots only seem capable of HATE for the other candidates!

-they won't listen to Dennis (though they SHOULD).

[Bonobo]

9. B-But I too am an "Obamabot".

Bzzzzz.... DOES NOT COMPUTE...

Bzzzzz.... DOES NOT COMPUTE...

Bzzzzz.... DOES NOT COMPUTE...

[FlaGranny]

10. Really???

Dennis was my first choice. I moved on to John. Then I moved on to Hillary. Then changed my mind and went to Barack. I don't hate any of them. I think you'd better not be so all-encompassing in your statements. Hillary, though, is really giving me pause nowadays. (I thought she was very good in the Senate yesterday, though.)

[redqueen]

15. Hey... you do know Kucinich instructed his delegates to align with Obama's campaign

and not Clinton's, right? Back in IA? Do you remember that?

Wanna take a crack at guessing why he might not have chosen the DLC candiate? It's not hard, I promise!

[Bonobo]

18. Serious?

[redqueen]

19. It threw me for a loop...

I had expected him to send them to Edwards... cause they had the same deal last time around.

But Kucinich knew more about Obama than I did at that point... :)

20. Wow, how the hell did I miss that? Thank you. Glad to hear we independently came to same conclusion.

[mopinko]

28. it has been o's colleagues that have pushed him all along.

his colleagues in the illinois general assembly are really the ones who made it possible for him to run for the senate. one of the state reps, julie hamos, tell the story about twisting arms of her wealthier constituents to get him started. and she doesn't get on all that well with her really wealthier ones. (heavy r-$$ parts of her district.) but she put her rep on the line for him. others did, too. they were out stumping for him like crazy. those people are still with him, too. riding the bus and knocking on doors for him.

[Catherina]

31. Crickets. n/t

[redqueen]

32. Surprised?

I'm not... :hi:

[Catherina]

38. Not at all.

:hi:

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Ummm... sadly your message goes on deaf ears when you name-call.

I'm sure Dennis wouldn't approve and he directed that his delegates and backers support Obama.

[cooolandrew]

11. He is the man who definitely had the plan both candidates should adopt his healthcare plan.

[nxylas]

17. That's the real pisser about him dropping out

We need to keep saying it until Clinton and Obama get it - if it ain't single-payer, it ain't universal.

[knixphan]

25. YES

And that's why we gotta get active to re-animate Conyers' bill and ram it into Pres. Obama.

Let's bend him to our will on that one issue, at least.

[fadedrose]

12. Nominate DK for new cab post - Sec'y of Peace - his idea NT

[Bonobo]

22. Great idea. Great message to send to the world.

They should change the name of the Defense Dept. back to what it once was, the "War Dept.".

[redqueen]

16. I stayed with him till the bitter end in 04.

Funny, he's always talking about hope and unity too, isn't he?

[totodeinhere]

23. Dennis Kucinich is a real national treasure and hopefully someday he will get his due.

[knixphan]

24. Dennis = my first love also

Dude just flat-out gets it!

If only we weren't as shallow a media culture as we are, he'd be in it right now.

But we can push Barack in that direction when he's in the w.h.

And I've been donating to Dennis in his home state

Go Dennis!

[bobthedrummer]

26. I voted for you in the Wisconsin primaries of 2004, 2008.

I continue to share your core values, policies for our nation that need to be done now as well as policies for achieving goals of the future-and your patriotism.

I respect your unwavering opposition to the global corporatist RW wherever it is found, and loyalty to our Constitution and the rule of law.

Thank you for introducing impeachment proceedings against Richard Bruce Cheney.

We have need of a Department of Peace, it will absorb the Department of Homeland Security.

I hope that you are part of President Obama's cabinet.

Bob

[WA98296]

29. Kucinich does "get it" And, by far had the BEST health care plan. A REAL Democrat.

[knixphan]

33. hmmm...cabinet

What position could Obama give him? Never thought of that...

[Bonobo]

34. I will send letter after letter suggesting "Department of Peace". We all should.

[flvegan]

35. I still voted for him in my primary.

When he dropped out to protect his House seat, I donated to his campaign. He's the only candidate I like(d) one iota.

[Orsino]

36. My man Dennis.

More courage, integrity and vision than in any three other Congresscritters.

Someday, Dennis, I hope that America will be ready for you.

[ZombieHorde]

39. DK was my first choice.

Then I moved on to "not a Republican" as my second choice.

[tritsofme]

40. Has he yet filed papers for a 2012 run?

I mean without a "presidential" campaign to run, what else is he going to do with his time?

[redqueen]

41. Yay! A Hillary supporter bashing Kucinich!

You've made my day complete.

:rofl:

[knixphan]

42. Dennis = the litmus test for real liberals

You don't love DK, I'm takin' your progressive card.
