Go Dennis! :woohoo:

thank you!

[graywarrior]

2. Wow. They're compassionate humans.

How awesome is that?

[peace13]

3. Thank you for posting this.

This man is 100% true and Americans probably do not deserve him. Can we wake the people up before it is too late? I know that I am doing what I can to get this man into the Whitehouse. Peace, Kim

[sandyj999]

4. I am so glad that I was able to see this! n/t

[annabanana]

5. Thanks for posting that..

I wonder what other candidates would have done the same thing?

[rjones2818]

8. Of the Democratic candidates...

I like to think all of them would! Hell, I even like to think that the Repugs would do the same thing! And, I like to think that each of us would do the same, also!

Go Dennis! :woohoo:

[FREEWILL56]

13. WOW

You are an optimist now aren't you? The reality is that few would and I see not only this being a rarety in a candidate, but that he was in the front of an antiwar rally too, a very risky and sometimes dangerous place to be, says he's clinched my vote. He's shown he's more than just a political mouthpiece adding to pollution levels.

[rjones2818]

15. WWBD?

What would Buddha do?

Go Dennis!

28. Gee I don't know

ask W as he talks to God so maybe he talks to buddha too.

[Divine Discontent]

29. "optimist now aren't you?"

lol.. true. I feel nearly certain Edwards woulda done it, with Eliz right there, and maybe her holding the guy's hand instead of John, and I would HOPE that the rest of the dem candidates woulda done the same exact thing - now the repubs? I don't think any woulda done it. Maybe Paul.

[Chulanowa]

30. Only if the fallen man were rich and white and after checking to make sure the cameras were on him

He may be against the war, but Paul is still far to the right of most of his fellow Republicans everywhere else.

[rjones2818]

32. This is not an endorsement, but...

Paul's a doctor. He probably would have been working on the guy.

[1monster]

41. Even GWB? Remember, twice now, policemen accompanying his motorcade have been in

serious accidents (I know one officer died, I'm not sure about the other) and Bush just drove on to the airport and flew off.

It would be nice if everyone were blessed with compassion and a need to help, but it just ain't so.

[proReality]

6. Thanks for posting this. n/t

[japple]

7. K & R, and thanks for posting this clip. Go Dennis!!!!

I am proud to once again support your campaign for president.

[superkia]

9. We need to start putting Clinton or Obama in the posts title...

or we will never get his word out. Most DUers are like most Americans, they wont even look into Kucinich to see what he offers the country, they ignore him like the media tells them to. I too worry that we wont be able to get the message out there, that there is a candidate thats not playing political games with our lives. There is a choice for true change in politics but will the American people open their eyes, ears and hearts and look outside the box for their next president?

[Stardust]

26. I worry about the same thing: that we won't get the word out. But I remember when

Jimmy Carter won the nomination. I was astonished that our country honestly seemed to recognize true goodness for a change. And I was stunned when he won the election. Unfortunately, his (and our) victory was too short-lived, thus commencing this terrible, downward spiral we have been caught in ever since. I fantasize how much good Dennis could do for our broken country and our lop-sided world. It's got to be a grassroots movement to proselytize Dennis. I think I'll get a Nano and show anyone who'll watch a Kucinich kick-ass video.

[ClintonTyree]

62. But he's short, and she wears funny hats.

:sarcasm: It's a crying shame that that's how a majority of America's citizens choose a President. They want the "Dutch" or the "Duke" look. It doesn't matter if there's absolutely nothing between their ears, they just have to LOOK the part. :banghead:

Dennis and Elizabeth are such fine people and he'd make such a great President. Bush and Laura combined wouldn't make a pimple on Dennis's ass.

[FREEWILL56]

69. From your quote:

"Dennis and Elizabeth are such fine people and he'd make such a great President. Bush and Laura combined wouldn't make a pimple on Dennis's ass."

I agree and I agree, but on the second point bush does make a great hemroid as he's been a pain in the ass of America. We have to go farther than preparation h as we need preparation w until we can get Dr. Dennis to remove him once and for all.:bounce: :woohoo: :woohoo: :applause: :applause:

[Greyhound]

10. Just one more reason why I support DK all the way.

This man can restore us, if only we could get over the brainwashing.
:kick: & R

[The Wielding Truth]

11. That's quality, compassion, and concern for humanity.

Dennis impresses the heck out of me.

[Summer93]

12. Kucinich - a real man

Mr. and Mrs. Kucinich have come from a place that has taught them compassion for their fellow man. How refreshing to see that in a politician.

[arikara]

14. K&R

Dennis is the only one really for peace. The others are just saying what they think people want to hear and if they get in it'll be business as usual.

[LWolf]

16. "A candid glimpse into this man's character."

The United States, and the planet, would be a better place under this man's leadership.

[Amonester]

23. That is so true. Thank you for posting that!

And thanks to the OP DUer for posting this comforting clip of Mister Kucinich.

[govegan]

17. And sometimes when the night is slow

the wretched and the meek
we gather up our hearts and go
a thousand kisses deep . . . L Cohen

And someday when the world is bleeding
the courageous and the wise
we'll gather up our votes and lift
our dreams into the skies . . . .

Go Dennis! :woohoo:

19. Does anybody here....

Think Hillary would have done the same thing??? HELL NO! Kucinich is my first choice.

[Bennyboy]

20. So he is a nice guy?

Nice guys finish last...PRICKS WIN!

[Bennyboy]

21. J/K.....

Another reason to love DK. Why is no one with him?

[Comadreja]

22. A tuned-out electorate

The Establishment has turned the majority into consumers...yak on yer cellphone, spend spend spend. How many define themselves as citizens?

[Amonester]

24. The E$tabli$hment has turned the majority into...

victims of the endle$$ looting of their taxes too

The E$tabli$hment givie no thingie in return...

except: "Kucinich is un-electable." over 'n over. :mad:

[Catamount]

25. Thank you--great Post and Video

We- the people must make this man OUR president!
K&R

[bjobotts]

27. Kucinich is the only candidate who will bring about "real" change

If he wins the Primary he will be the next president. The other candidates don't ever even mention his name because they don't want him to get any attention. They know that if the Dems and Independents see what he is really bout and how far he surpasses them they won't stand a chance. He's been there and done that on every issue. For once we have a chance to actually get the best and most qualified candidate for president. Kucinich is the man. Thanks afor posting this insight.

Kucinich/Edwards '08...the truth ticket....make it happen.

[rucognizant]

31. Is there a follow up?

I'd like to hear this man describe the incident. Dennis WAS practising Reiki on him! ( the healing touch!)

[Liberal Dose]

33. Okay that did it. Where do I sign up?

34. I was at the head of the march when the cameraman fell.

Because the march was stopped, people were jamming up and starting to overflow. One of the vets leading the parade had four of five of us block off a section that folks were streaming thru. I looked over my shoulder & saw Pat Scanlon (was an RN I think) Notice the man on the ground - Pat got out of the car to see what he could do.

I glanced over my shoulder & saw Kucinich look out the window of the car he was in and grimace.

He got out of the car & went to assist.

In the video you see Kucinich holding the man's hand.

After a short period of time, the cameraman on the ground said something like "I'm sorry for squeezing someone's hand." Kucinich replied "Don't worry about it, squeeze harder."

That's where he won my vote.

Kucinich is a true human being.

Put me in the DK camp.

[LWolf]

38. The Kucinich camp

is a warm, hopeful, supportive place to be.

:hug:

[alteredstate]

35. Kucinich's response doesn't surprise me one bit

And you can all make fun of me, but when he was speaking to the crowd, Kucinich reminded me of RFK.

[Geek_Girl]

37. Reminded me of the same thing

I wish more dems supported his nomination.

[jonnyra]

36. One thing is crytstal clear

The best way to shake up the democratic party...the best way to scare the hell out of the mainstream corporate politicians vying attention in the presidential race...the best way to throw the conventional wisdom of the MSM out the window is if Kucinich suddenly started moving up in the polls. If Kucinich starts winning polls and starts rising to the top it will throw the dems into a panic.

Right now Kucinich is our best weapon as far as a "political solution" to the fascist republican takeover ( I will say I personally do not believe a political solution is possible because the political system is so corrupt and broken, But for those who insist on trying to change through due process...Kucinich is the only hope). The mainstream dems just want to dance around issues with carefully crafted language, calculated statements meant not to offend Christians, warmongers and corporate backers. Kucinich doesnt give a shit. Kucinich speaks from his heart and speaks with reason, something no other candidate seems able to do (ok I will say Edwards seems closest to this as far as front runners but even he does not get close to Kucinich).

If we want to see true change in the political landscape and moral direction of this really really fucked up nation I suggest we get behind Kucinich. Whether you agree with all of his policy stands or not one thing is clear...NO OTHER CANDIDATE WOULD SHAKE UP THE STATUS QUO LIKE KUCINICH. No other candidate means change in direction like Kucinich. A sudden surge in polling and popularity of Kucinich would shake this ridiculous presidential race up like nothing else.

This nation is in desperate need of someone to take us out of this corporate/fascist sludge pit we have found ourselves in and only Kucinich...ONLY KUCINICH comes close to fitting that role. Kucinich in 2009...our only true hope for change by due process. If not Kucinich then its taking to the streets in a stand against the corporate/fascist takeover of our nation.

[goodhue]

39. great post

[Richard D]

42. I have to say . . .

. . . Dennis is one of the only politicians I've seen who struck me as being a real human being. The rest are, well, so image consulted out that it's difficult to see who they really are. Not so with Dennis. Just a real human being.

[lonestarnot]

43. Dennis rocks, no two ways about that!

Dennis :yourock:

[mmonk]

44. Thanks for posting.

[Blue Fire]

45. No more second thoughts!

When I first decided to support DK, I would ask myself if I would be wasting my time and energy on an underdog candidate. That question has been answered loud and clear! Thanks for a great post! I'll be off to the DK site later to really get involved in getting the word out that there is a real, genuine human being with integrity and compassion running for president. The more people that learn about him, the less of an underdog he will be.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

46. Thank you for this uplifting video

I loved the look Elizabeth and Dennis gave each other as they marched-it showed true love. President Kucinich will go far in bringing humanity, kindness, and peace back into our nation and the world.

[colorado_ufo]

50. Their hands locked over the sign.

[Autonomy]

47. Didnt he also help someone

who was hit by a car in front of his office last year? I think he did the same thing, got out there and helped the guy.

[colorado_ufo]

48. This absolutely brought me to tears.

[ooglymoogly]

49. DKUdaman

Coining a new word for Kucinich here....yeaaaaah KR

[Double T]

51. THIS MAN can change the course of the world; there should be NO DOUBT!!!

Kucinich 2008

[BrklynLiberal]

52. Actually brought tears to my ears. If only...if only...this man could be our next president....

:cry: :pals:

[BrklynLiberal]

68. Tears to my EYES...my EYES!!!!! DUH!!!!!!

:spank: :blush:

[Maestro]

53. Good video. If * did something like that

it would be strictly for a photo-op. I can see him now holding the man's hand looking at the camera and smiling then leaving once the shot had been taken.

[whistle]

54. Thank you for sharing that video and thank you to Dennis Kucinich and his wife

[matthewf]

55. Go Dennis!

[Vickers]

56. I bet Cheney would've had to put the guy down.

Like a lame horse.

DK kicks ass.

[slipslidingaway]

57. Thanks, this is another example that Dennis cares about each life

A few other examples...

"Shock and Awe" - Kucinich Responds
by Kucinich

March 23, 2003

http://freepress.org/dispatches/2003/display/72

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (DOH), who leads opposition in the House to the war in Iraq, issued the following statement on the 'shock and awe' air campaign:

"Today is a sad day, the United States has begun its 'shock and awe' air campaign against Iraq. By all accounts this attack will rain thousands of bombs down on a heavily populated area."

"The 'shock and awe' air campaign is a horrific acceleration of the United States' unprovoked attack against Iraq. This air campaign is designed to aim the full might of the United States military apparatus at the center of a civilian population."

"Today, my thoughts and prayers are with the coalition service men and women serving in the region and with the innocent Iraqi civilians. We must end this unjustified war."

"U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich and his wife, Elizabeth, just returned from a personal peace-building initiative in the Middle East, where the congressman was the first American official to visit Lebanon in the wake of its war with Israel."

Kucinich Meets with Syrian President

Sunday, September 2, 2007

http://www.newsmax.com/international/kucinich_syria/2007/09/02/29345.html

"Kucinich and his wife are also visiting Jaramanh where many of the 1.5 million Iraqi refugees in Syria have settled. The Congressman, who has been very active in discussing the plight of the war-torn Iraqi people, expects to take up with President Assad matters relating to refugees from Iraq."

58. I love DK

But most candidates would do this.
Glad it gets everyone excited though... Whatever it takes!

[Rainbowreflect]

59. Hearing him speak in person was really moving.

[Usrename]

60. It's a shame that character isn't a factor when we choose our leaders.

Dennis would win, hands down, if it were.

[Desertrose]

61. Not surprised. Good for Dennis.....

and good for Elizabeth. It is sweet to see how she supports him.

Compassion...nice to see it in action.

[Stump]

63. Nice show of character...

He certainly seems to be the "real deal".

They are such good people...

GO DENNIS AND ELIZABETH!

67. Had ENOUGH? Is '08 a Year to Vote your Conscience or for Bill Redux or Obama Unknown?

I think after all these years...I've got to vote with my conscience. Voting with those who were the "Front Runners/Those Who Couldn't Win...because of this or that...has jaded me to voting for FrontRunner
in America's truly darkest hour.

Voting for Change means many things, and many will say...ANY DEM is BETTER THAN BUSHIES...but I can't vote for anyone who has ALL THAT MONEY UPFRONT. I want "the little guy" that I always should have voted for ...but didn't ...because I caved hoping the Big Guy would listen to all those who supported the "little guy." (Guy being generic these days in the M$M)
