If Dennis Kucinich's bill to impeach the DICK gets out of committee and on the floor...

[book_worm]

Poll question: If Dennis Kucinich's bill to impeach the DICK gets out of committee and on the floor...

of the house and is approved by the Democratic congress. Do you think Dennis deserves to get the Democratic nomination?

[MrCoffee]

1. you need an option for "Duh"

[Buzz Clik]

2. He'll deserve an enthusiastic "two thumbs up", but the nomination? Errr.... not so sure.

[RiverStone]

33. one does not equal the other...

That's what the primaries are for!

Though of course, a hundred thumbs up for his courage and effort.

And if I had the power to chose - ya know who my choice for pres is (see avatar). :hi:

[Buzz Clik]

35. Best of luck with that. I hope Dennis finds his stride.

[LoZoccolo]

3. No: he handled his UFO sighting extremely irresponsibly.

There was no attempt on his part to report what he saw to the FAA or Air Force, even years after the sighting. It could have been a spy drone from the Soviet Union for all we know. Either that or he lied through his teeth or something. Not exactly presidential qualities.

[99th_Monkey]

6. did you forget to post the ((sarcasm)) icon?

[LoZoccolo]

10. No.

Kucinich claimed that he saw a UFO on national TV.

[99th_Monkey]

14. He fielded the stupid question brilliantly

by pointing out what "unidentified" flying object is .. duh .. unidentified. who knows what it was.

and esp. by pointing out that more people believe in UFO's than support Bush/Cheney blood-for-oil ME wars.

[LoZoccolo]

16. I am not saying that he said he saw space aliens.

But if he did not think they were space aliens, they could be enemy military technology, and he should have reported it. Has he said that he has done that?

[99th_Monkey]

18. We don't know do we? But I don't buy your primise in the first place.

The very fact that anyone, esp. the MSM, wants to make this "The Big Issue" with regard to Kucinich's candidacy
says more about them (and you apparently) than it does about Kucinich.

[LoZoccolo]

19. I would think that seeing something from outer space or an enemy nation is a pretty big issue.

He needs to address this.

[99th_Monkey]

22. Maybe a "big issue" for small minds

who are looking for some kind of "gotcha" issue to pin on a truly honorable man, who's standing up for
the Constitution when all or most (at least) other politicians are ducking tough issues and enabling
the criminals in the WH.

[LoZoccolo]

27. !

Do you know how much our space budget is? Do you know how many people work for NASA, and how hard it is to be one of the ones who can do so? Do you know how much someone would like to be part of discovering life on other planets?

Even bigger: do you know how much we spend trying to gather intelligence on weapons which could be used against us?

These are small issues??!! If Kucinich considers them small, then he definitely should not be president.

[99th_Monkey]

30. Well, yes. Of course THOSE are ALL important issues

But don't you think, to be fair to Kucinich, you shouldn't ASSUME a) that he didn't report the sighting (we don't really know),
b) that he doesn't agree with you that these are important issues .. all from a brief exchange with a moderator during a debate,
where the moderator at least was in the "gotcha" mode with his question. That's all I'm saying.

25. Actually, Dennis would be one of many, many Americans who have ...

had a UFO experience ---

Including John Lennon ---
Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter ---

Pilots, co-pilots, doctors, lawyers ---

It would be great to have someone in the White House who might bust this SECRET open ---

[me b zola]

7. When was it that Carter or Reagan qualitfied their ufo sightings?

:shrug:

[LoZoccolo]

9. I'll look into it next time they run for president. n/t

[defendandprotect]

26. Ronnie Reagan spoke about "ALIENS" at the United Nation --- !!!

[MrCoffee]

11. so that would override Articles passed over the objection of leadership? really?

[LoZoccolo]

17. People are trying to confuse two separate questions.

I don't care what he does. If there are serious problems with his sense of responsibility, then he should not be president.

[Breeze54]

20. ROFLMFAO!!!

:rofl:

You are so funny when you say silly things!!

:silly:

[LoZoccolo]

21. Then they laugh at you, then you win. n/t

[defendandprotect]

23. I thought he handled it great --- !! DK: "In DC, truth is an unidentified flying object" ---!

[Ghost in the Machine]

42. This is the lamest attempt to smear Dennis Kucinich that I've seen so far

You make laugh... and gag at the same time...

Dennis Kucinich handled that question VERY professionally. Other Presidents, astronauts, pilots, all type of people from all walks of life have claimed to see a UFO. If he had denied it, they would be calling him a LIAR and smearing him to this day. As it stands, they haven't said much about it at all, have they? He stood on his honor and principles and TOLD THE TRUTH. I'm sorry some of you seem to have a problem with the truth...

[LoZoccolo]

44. This is not about how someone handled a question.

This is about national security.

[Ghost in the Machine]

45. Quick! CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!! There's a blinking light

in the sky over my house and I don't know what it is!!!!

SCRAMBLE THE FUCKING AIR FORCE!! SOMETHING'S OUT THERE!! CALL THE NSA!!!!


Seriously... give me a break...

[99th_Monkey]

4. The Little Guy from Ohio had my vote anyway, but yes. n/t

[kestrel91316]

5. If he does it, I'm pullin' for NEXT year's Nobel Peace Prize, lol.

[TechBear_Seattle]

8. He deserves the nomination for even TRYING

Just that alone is far, far more than any of the "frontrunners" have even bothered to consider.

And get a clue: The "Democratic" Congress will not ever approve articles of impeachment. They are too cowardly, too fraudulent, too REPUBLICAN to do it.

[me b zola]

12. Dennis already had my vote

...based on all of the issues. Having the courage to stand for the Constitution & the rule of law against all of the power brokers in DC is just the cherry on the cake.

[gateley]

13. No. I don't think someone 'deserves' receiving the nomination as a result of

a single action (even though I think this single action is ENORMOUSLY important). And this is not saying Dennis has only done this ONE thing - he's responsible for many courageous actions. I may have misinterpreted the meaning of your question, though.

[demnan]

15. He deserves the nomination

because he can't be bought, he's the best on the issues and he'll get us out of the war too.

[defendandprotect]

24. And he has 22 Co-Sponsors who should be rewarded, as well . . ..

28. Impeachment won't mean jack unless he's convicted in the Senate

And that ain't happening.

[PufPuf23]

41. This won't be a Clinton-style Impeachment but an

impeachment of substance.

The investigations will put things on the record and the Congress people and Senators will have to go on the record for the citizens and the historical record. This is valuable in and of itself. Also it is a small step in rebuilding our reputation as a nation of laws.

[MuseRider]

29. I answered yes

but then he has my vote anyway. He may be little and he may have seen a UFO but he is the biggest and bravest person we have in the party.

Yes, I know how stupid that sounds :blush:

[bigwillq]

31. He does regardless

He is the best candidate we have. :bounce:

[onenote]

32. Since we're making up unrealistic hypotheticals, sure.

But the odds of that happening are close to zero. Its not completely out of the question that there will be a hearing, the focus of which will partially be on the substance of DK's resolution and partially on what the appropriate next step would be. The best that could be expected from that hearing would be the drafting of a new resolution, to be introduced by someone other than DK (probably COnyers and others on the Committee) proposing that the full House authorize the Committee to conduct an inquiry and report back with recommendations regarding the adoption of specific articles of impeachment. But again, even that happening is a very very long shot at this point.

[stirlingsliver]

34. Totally!

If the Impeachment Resolution introdued by Dennis Kucinich gets approved by the Congress, then I say Dennis deserves to be Prsident!!

[Initech]

36. If not the president, at least he should get an automatic VP nom!

[lonestarnot]

37. HELL Yes! He deserves it anyway!

[Desertrose]

38. Yeah...he DOES!

K&R

[Naturyl]

39. He already deserves the nomination

But that would definitely help.

[MadBadger]

40. No, he still doesnt.

[tritsofme]

43. If Grandma had balls shed be Grandpa.
