Go Dennis! :woohoo:

Choose Peace!

[Sanity Claws]

1. "above the margin of error"

Great line

[UnclassifiedProducer]

30. Go, Dennis.

Glad to see he's finally getting a little national exposure.

[rabies1]

2. The media omits him from polls, cuts him out of photos...

I think he's the biggest threat to corporate America. They want us to vote for Hillary, Edwards, or Obama because they think they can 'handle' one of them. Kucinich is doing quite well but I find you have to seek him out. When he speaks on healthcare, bringing home the troops & ending this war, making peace with other countries etc. no doubt, he would bring a REAL change. The election is still a year away and I think we might turn and vote for someone completely different because we've had enough business as usual.

[Nothing Without Hope]

9. AGREED!!!!! If the American public really heard him, they'd see what a true

public servant, not owned by the corporations, sounds like. That's something they're not going to see in the other candidates of either party.

No wonder his message is minimized by the corporate media.

K & R

[rabies1]

16. 1st Nixon, then Ford - We had enough & then elected a peanut farmer.

That's why I think there's a chance for Kucinich.
We might be ready for him at election time a year from now.
(If not much much sooner).

[FredStembottom]

34. That's a hopeful thought!

Hadn't made that comparison in my mind, yet!

Carter's election was made possible by the GOP - they may have done such a thing again!

:hi:

[Stevepol]

3. Every little bit helps!

[bdamomma]

4. Dennis makes me smile, what a compassionate person

yes, Dennis never forget your roots.

[monmouth]

5. He definitely belongs in the top tier. What a gracious, down-to-earth person he is...eom

[peace13]

6. Thank you for posting this.

Dennis we are working for you. NGU. Peace, Kim

7. Kucinich Should Be All The Evidence Anyone Needs About The Dem Party

This guy, Kucinich, is so progressive, so in line with popular policies, he has such a story, comes from such humble beginnings...

He would be a cinch to sell to the American public. But they do all that they can to squelch him. They being the Democratic Party. This cycle, where the Republicans simply can't win is a once in a generation moment where the Democrats can't even claim the need to rely on the false strategy of playing the middle that they always use. They could actually run a progressive candidate.

These facts should tell any thinking person all he/she needs to know about the real truth about the Democratic Party. But judging by the comments in the thousands of threads on this site, either this isn't as obvious as one would think or all the talk about the US having been dumbed down is truth.

[eleny]

10. And despite all this he never gives up

I know this sounds corny, so what - he may be short but he's someone I can look up to.

[radiclib]

23. Excellent points

I've had the same thoughts. The Repubs are so screwed this cycle that it truly is a once in a lifetime opening for a true progressive to capture the nation's imagination. Alas, we don't live in a progressive democracy, we live in a corporatocracy.
New Zealand looks better to me all the time.

Oh I forgot...welcome to DU! :bounce:

[LosinIt]

8. If all things were equal, he would quite likely be leading

But he:

isn't tall enough
isn't handsome enough
doesn't have enough hair
doesn't have a strong enough voice

(according to the media)

[monmouth]

11. Actually, I find him very good looking. It's all in the eyes and the smile.

The eyes match the smile, no betrayal there. I would love to see him just keep on movin' on...UP...

[GMFORD]

14. I totally agree!

He is good looking in the ways that count - his personality and character shine through. I think he's kind of charming and sexy.

[peace13]

12. They say he's left

but look at his values. He is straight out American. As much as DU hates to hear it the rest of the candidates are big corp. reps that voted for war in Iraq and refuse to say that they would bring them home. Go figure.

[fredrickdouglas]

21. He's American? What Does American Even Mean??

He has leftists values. Why are we afraid to say that?

And what does it even mean to say he's an American?

[peace13]

24. Now that you mention it that is a stupid way to put it.

I meant to say that he would not agree to preemptively invade a nation and follow it with killing and stealing. He believes that every citizen has a Bill of Rights and a Constitution to base their lives on. There, now sorry for the confusion. When I said that he was American that was what I was thinking but I see why that might confuse you. Peace, Kim

[fenriswolf]

29. it means

hes for the american people

[fredrickdouglas]

20. Don't Fool Yourself

His politics are wrong for the Democratic Party

It isn't about his hair or height.

It's about his authentic platform based on democracy and not corporate rule. That's the reason the media and the Democratic Party's big money people won't back him.

Everything else is incidental. Nader isn't short and doesn't have bad hair and they have always hated him too. If you are for the people and not the corporations, the national Democratic Party will not support you.

[Red Zelda]

39. He doesn't have anything

except being President of DU.

[Gonnuts]

13. Even if ...

a miracle should happen, like the American public would somehow grow brains and learn how to use them, and our broken corrupt election system was fixed before 08', and Kucinich was elected he would murdered before he could take the oath of office.

Get a grip folks. This country has been bought and sold long ago by extremely powerful interests that have no interest in a free democratic/republic with fair elections.

Does anyone here really think that someone who would severely limit the profits being made from weapons industry, oil and energy interests, insurance and health care is going to be allowed to become president?

No, no my hopeful friends. Not in this world and certainly not in this country in this election. For the truth of the matter is we don't need another phony so-called representative of the people put in office by rigged elections to protect the real powers behind our so-called government. We need another revolution!

[superkia]

18. If a tragedy like that took place, it would get Americans out of their seats.

If America finally saw a person for the people, they would support him and if something then happened to him, I think it would get people in the streets and would lead to more good people in politics in the future. People are disgusted and frustrated with our current government and it would take someone like Dennis Kucinich to turn them around and give them hope.

I didn't know about his upbringing but that just makes me want to vote for him more. People who have been on both sides of the tracks can see both sides, the ones that grew up on only one side only stand for one side because they have no idea.

Go Dennis Kucinich, a true democrat for the people!

[iaviate1]

28. We already had a horrible tragedy that got Americans out of their seats:

BUSH. But all these people couldn't vote and for those who finally did get to the front of the line, their Democratic votes went into the ether.

[f the letter]

31. Amen on the need for bigger change than can be provided in a rigged election

But while we're working on that you can be sure i'll vote for Kucinich. i may as well vote my conscience if the outcome is predetermined.

[ladywnch]

15. more and more I'm looken at Dennis! the more I listen to the 'front runners'

the more I'm convinced they'll end up just being more of the same. The only real 'candidate for change' is looking more like Dennis. I'm not sure he really stands a chance given the Democrate power machine but I'm plannig on voting for him.....assuming he is still in the running by the time our primary comes around. I DO hope so.

[slipslidingaway]

17. Thanks, I knew I forget to watch this! n/t

[ForeignSpectator]

19. All I keep hearing about Kucinich is "if, if, if"

If he is so great ( and I think he is true and means real change ) and most Americans agree with Kucinich with most if not all of the actual issues then go and spread the word about him.

The mass media and establishment want to drown him so don't wait for them or bought up polls to mention him.

[fredrickdouglas]

22. The ONLY, ONLY hope for Kucinich is to leave the Dem Party

Nothing else will give his platform a chance in hell due to the structure of the electoral system.

But the Democrats sure hope Kucinich activists will keep trying to influence the system from within the party. They know its a fool's game.

When will we learn?

[Ignis]

26. For many of us, Dennis is reason enough to keep voting Dem. (nt)

[LWolf]

25. What a warm, gracious, intelligent, patient human being.

Thank you for posting this.

:applause:

[Hulk]

27. Is it just me, or is jay lenno an idiot?

What kind of question is that?...."there must be some quality that is not immediately visibile to the rest of us??" I mean, are you some handsome hunk yourself, you ski slope chinned prick? It's just the way he said it, and also the fact that he would bring it up....at Kucinich's expense.

I've always thought of lenno as a smart ass prick, but I have to admit, he is sometimes funny. This time....NOT!

[Desertrose]

32. Nice interview...

Dennis is getting some airtime at last!!

DR

[FyurFly]

33. He has a trophy wife...

Just like Fred Bush....What are we going to do about that?

[MaggieSwanson]

37. Elizabeth may be young and beautiful,

But calling her a 'trophy wife' is simply wrong. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you forgot the sarcasm tag :)

Having met Mrs Kucinich on several occasions, I have to say that she is one of the most authentic, intelligent, insightful, and compassionate women I have ever met. In short, she is the perfect mate for Dennis, and just because she's easy on the eyes does not make her any less so.

:toast: to Dennis and Elizabeth

[upi402]

35. Dennis is, and always has been right. On everything!

I'll write him in if I have to!!!

[fenriswolf]

36. Ya know what

if i was not political and didn't really follow the news I would be so moved by this interview. The americain middle class working family well fall for this guy head over heels I advocate him everyday to everyone I meet. After this interview I cannot wait to see what it does for his numbers, his fans are few and far between but everyday their is more, we have a year and we all get behind him and we all tell everyone everyday what an honest person is who is going to make it better for all of us collecivly instead of just the people who can make him more powerfull we can make this happen.

[rateyes]

38. I'd love to sit down and have a beer with that guy!!
