  2. As I’ve written here before, Kucinich actually makes sense when he’s not in the 30-second sound-bite of these “debates.”  I’ve heard him on 3 hour talk show programs, and he could do a very good job of laying out proposals for problems, which made very good sense.

    p>Dennis’s problem is that presidential campaigns in the USofA is that campaigns are defined by 30-second sound-bites, not by three hour talk-show programs.

  3. I support Kucinich not because I love Dennis Kucinich, but because by supporting him I am saying that I am 100% anti-war, in favor of a non-profit health care system, and completely pro-LGBT.  It’s about the truths and issues he represents.

    p>I will not be duped into believing the “hopeful” rhetoric of the campaign directors that worked for Deval and now work for Obama ever again.

    <

    p>Underneath all that inspiring “hope” is a whole lot of average plans on health, the environment, civil rights, you name it.

    <

    p>Look what Deval’s hope brought us. Corporate trips to China and Gambling to name a few things.

    p>When the time comes that I have to choose who to vote for for president (not the primary) I will obviously choose the democrat not because I believe in the candidate but because voting for the lesser of the two evils will at least bring a little less suffering into the world.

    <

    p>It is unfortunate that democrats and progressives will not untie behind certain principles like a universal non-profit health care system.

    <

    p>I am sick of the extreme incrementalism advocated by so many “progressives” and presidential candidates today. I believe that if all the health care advocates would get on board with one strong powerful message for such a policy we could make some real headway. Instead we remain fragmented, each accepting little pieces of what we want here and there – a little at a time. It prolongs the fight for eternity.

    • Isn’t it ironic that one of leading 2008 democratic candidates’ medical plan is worse than the 1974 plan introduced by a corrupt Republican (Nixon)?

      p>Kucinich is a breathe of fresh air. He has no chance, but I still support him.

        • Too many people on this site equate liberalism with democratic party. I am a proud unenrolled voter; Dems are just marginally better. The whole two-party system is corrupt and wrong.

  4. Sean Penn’s endorsement of Kucinich reminds me of the apt philosphical riddle, “if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” In the case of the Penn endorsement of Kucinich, I am afraid the answer is a resounding NO.

  5. if it wasn’t for the fact that we’re still in Iraq, and Bush and Cheney have not even been impeached. The headlines keep coming “Dems want answers”. “Dems investigating…” but nothing changes. The raw sewage keeps flowing out of the white house into the halls of Congress, eventually seeping into the nation’s water supply.
