concerns into the discussion!!!

I provided a link that had him expressing in his own words (those are "facts" -- those words of his--not "opinions&quot his thought processes as he left Congress and his friendship with his fellow Congressman Paul; you respond by attempting, lamely, to "characterize" me as "upset."

Check your mirror--I think you're the "upset" one here. And if you bothered to check the link I provided, you'd see that he DID "say otherwise"--he basically abandoned the two party system. So, sorry--he doesn't sound like a "practicing Dem" to me anymore.

But hey, how could you know? I provided a link and you didn't bother to click on it!!!

Pointing out what Dennis Kucinich actually said isn't "bashing" anyone--least of all Democrats.

I have to wonder where you get some of this material you drag out as you follow me around--it's lame as all get-out. Apropos of absolutely nothing, too.

Just a few days ago I saw a positive article here about this visit Mojorabbit Apr 2015 #86

I don't see that he fills a needed space in the primary contest BainsBane Apr 2015 #7

O'Malley is very popular in Baltimore. Don't believe the RW spin. n/t FSogol Apr 2015 #32

David Simon is critical of him BainsBane Apr 2015 #33

True, but he is someone who is a friend of the current administration and has a FSogol Apr 2015 #37

Did you read the article or BainsBane Apr 2015 #42

Yes, I read the article, you're the 3rd person who asked me that. FSogol Apr 2015 #45

I'm not blaming him for Freddie Gray BainsBane Apr 2015 #48

Every major city used that form of policing in the 1990-early 2000s. FSogol Apr 2015 #53

I might add that FSogol's replies are factually inaccurate. Vattel May 2015 #104

I read the whole article -- the praise as well as the criticism Jim Lane Apr 2015 #75

I'll vote for him if he is the nominee too BainsBane Apr 2015 #81

Good find Jim. O'Malley's biggest critic says, "I’m going to end up voting for him." FSogol May 2015 #101

Its too early to write him off DJ13 Apr 2015 #8

So they're calling a Democrat "a root cause of Baltimore's problem." cherokeeprogressive Apr 2015 #10

Yup. elleng Apr 2015 #14

No, they just remember him for what he was to Baltimore as Mayor and Governor. nt Hutzpa Apr 2015 #17

I guess I simply pulled the quoted text out of my ass then... cherokeeprogressive Apr 2015 #22

A good question would be, what type of police commissioner and what type of law enforcement strategy Dragonfli Apr 2015 #44

Apparently he was the one that introduced Hutzpa Apr 2015 #49

I hope someone with knowledge will go into greater detail Dragonfli Apr 2015 #58

Unfortunately I don't have the full details as I caught the end of it Hutzpa Apr 2015 #61

I'm NOT falling for it. I'm pissed someone is posting it here. cherokeeprogressive Apr 2015 #26

My apologies. n/t FSogol Apr 2015 #28

Oh no problem. No problem at all. cherokeeprogressive Apr 2015 #30

Good. elleng Apr 2015 #31

Like I told FSogol... It's gonna be a long, bumpy ride. Glad I'm not prone to motion sickness! n/t cherokeeprogressive Apr 2015 #34

So you like Martin O'Malley, Ellen? "Martin O'Malley, Baltimore's Prodigal Mayor, Gets to Work" Cha Apr 2015 #76

Yes, Cha, I like him. elleng Apr 2015 #79

Good to know.. I respect your opinion! Cha Apr 2015 #84

FWIW, Jackie Kucinich, the author of this piece, is MADem Apr 2015 #12

You mean Democrat, Dennis Kucinich! There, fixed it for you. sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #25

He gets paid for being a Democrat? OilemFirchen Apr 2015 #40

Well, I have no knowledge if he's changed his party affiliation, or not, so unlike MADem Apr 2015 #43

Oh yeah.. Kucinich and his fondness for Ron Paul.. quite sickening. Cha Apr 2015 #72

Ans what's also known about him is that he is and always was a Democrat. sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #95

You're the one who seems "upset"--so quick to interject your little MADem May 2015 #97

Listen to yourself!!! MADem May 2015 #99

I never knew that. Thanks for the info. nt Tarheel_Dem Apr 2015 #39

He has a "type" I suspect. MADem Apr 2015 #59

He was told to GTFO Hutzpa Apr 2015 #13

Actually Fox News was told to GTFO, not O'Malley. FSogol Apr 2015 #19

YES, THANK YOU, FSogol! elleng Apr 2015 #27

I'm reading what the OP stated Hutzpa Apr 2015 #35

What is stated in that OP is full of BS. It is a RW hit piece that copies a slew FSogol Apr 2015 #38

It was written by Dennis Kucinich's daughter. She works for the Daily Beast. MADem Apr 2015 #47

She didn't necessarily write the headline ucrdem Apr 2015 #57

It's mostly narrative and quotes. It doesn't seem necessarily "hit piece-y" to me, to be honest. MADem Apr 2015 #63

Well... "O’Malley’s failure to take hold of this moment" sounds hit-piecey to me. ucrdem Apr 2015 #65

I think it sounds like an assessment by someone who is familiar with the terrain. MADem Apr 2015 #69

Well . . . let's just say that media reality is mediated and leave it at that. nt ucrdem Apr 2015 #70

Dyslexia acting up today? DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2015 #60

Quoting republican governors should give you a clue. n/t FSogol Apr 2015 #62

Oh, you're one of those people. You're not reachable. But here's something to ponder anyway: DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2015 #64

Blam.. door shuts. nt Hutzpa Apr 2015 #67

Sounds like someone took their parents praise too seriously. FSogol Apr 2015 #68

You're just mouthing off and acting condescending. My head in real life seldom FSogol Apr 2015 #73

See my previous statement about cowardice. It neatly explains your situation. DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2015 #74

Bite me, anonymous internet tough guy. Your threats are a joke. n/t FSogol Apr 2015 #77

I haven't threatened you, but I'll be glad to insult your lack of comprehension. DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2015 #80

Yawn. FSogol Apr 2015 #82

You made a false accusation, you were called on it, and your response is a yawn. DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2015 #85

Keep telling yourself that. nt Hutzpa Apr 2015 #66

Third rate hit piece on O'Malley, From the Wash post article, the heckler, FSogol Apr 2015 #15

You're suggesting she's a right winger? MADem Apr 2015 #88

Nope, I'm suggesting that citing her father is about the worst possible way jeff47 Apr 2015 #89

I can find you a dozen more "liberal" links that are saying the same thing about O'Malley. MADem Apr 2015 #90

Kick, will read later. Agschmid Apr 2015 #55
