wow every time he speaks he is so amazing and comforting, reassuring us that he will be our champian. I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS STRONGLY FOR A CANDIDATE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, HE IS PHENOMENAL!!!
Its not that I think Mr Paul is evil (as Mr Bush apparently is), but his policies would be bad for America right now (with the exception of pulling out of Iraq). In that, I agree totally.
But realistically, the eliminating the IRS meme is silly in lieu of the debt the current administration has gotten us in to. Mr Paul would shrink and/or eleiminate every social program.
His ideology is the same that fought liberals during the depression, during the run-up to WWII, civil rights, etc.
Being a "Constitutionalist" does not mean that one interprets the constituion the same way as others. DK and RP have very different ideologies and opinions on just exactly what the constitution says.
Friends they may be, but their ideologies are virtually unworkable (together).
ron himself said on jay leno that he and dennis stand together on alot of issues, oh well, im not argueing with u, im voting for dk, im just saying, in that area they certainly more joined than any others
You don't appear to understand the difference between a true liberal and true conservative... of course there are a few areas they agree (they are two of the most decent and humans of the entire group).
But RP's ideology and DK's are nowhere near the same. To say so means you don't understand the two.
Well said, well put, Dennis. This is why you are one of the "true" democrats left around. The republican party is so far to the right, they're off the page, and the democratic party has moved far to the right and took the republican party's spot. I'd love to see you on a ticket with Al Gore!! Wish you the best in the upcoming primaries and my deepest condolences for your brother's loss.
I am a Libertarian Republican, and I would love for you to pull for Paul. This is not for Dennis or Ron. This is for Americans. We really need a Revolution, and a Paul/Kucinich administration would be the biggest step for man and the freedom movement.
Yall could kick ass and take names for 8 solid years, and with your youth, Dennis, you would be then ready to take America into a Freedom dynasty, something nice to get the bad taste of fascism out of our mouths.
Oh, nice save at the end. I was reaching for the thumbs down until you said instant run offs. We definitely need a change from our lesser of two evils system, and this is the way to do it.
If you turn eighteen after your state's primaries/caucuses but before the general election then you can still register to vote for Dennis in the primaries/caucuses.
Cont. YOU can help by doing your part... tell everyone you know to vote Kucinich or Ron Paul although I believe that Kucinich is the best pick because of his attention to health care Ron Paul will be my second choice.
I am an atheist and Dennis has my vote even if the media/ big business- who controls media- try's to muffle his attempts to get our country/ government back into the peoples hands. It really enrages me that big business has taken COMPLETE control of our government and media and WE the people stand idly by while it happens and continues to happen.
why isn't this guy the democrat front runner. if kucinich and ron paul don't win their parties nominations then there is something wrong with america.
You've given me new hope for the Democratic Party. I pray and support you.
p.s.
How do we impeach/censure the Speaker of the House so as to clear this blockage she makes? Providing cover for the crimes committed against the people, IS A CRIME ITSELF!
Too bad the Fascist Conservatives that use God as their motto to do all that is bad can't see that their desires are dictating to them what to do. Why else would they have succumbed to forfeiting their Godly Reason to NOT kill, lie, hate, give in to temptations, judge others, etc.
It gives me hope to know that someone like Kucinich is running for president. It's time for America to catch up to the rest of the civilized world and provide health care that isn't tied to profit. Kucinich is the only candidate with a plan for that.
Why??? Why oh Why did you have to vote 'Aye' on HR 847 IH??? If only you had voted 'Nay' or refused to vote then I would still have a candidate to vote for rather than vote someone else 'instead'. Sorry, Dennis. You lost this atheist vote.
Relax. I'm an atheist too. And while I agree that HR 847 was a lame resolution offered up to appease the "War against Christmas" idiots, I think you're overreacting. I think Dennis voted for it because it would have felt wrong personally for him to vote against a resolution which "rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide" and which "expresses its deepest respect to American Christians and Christians throughout the world." ...
... (continued) He has stated elsewhere that he respects people regardless of their faith (or lack thereof) and that he is a firm believer in Freedom Of Religion and Freedom From Religion... Please, please, please don't let your (admittedly justified) dislike for organized religion and the Christian Right lead you to make more out of this vote than it was...
... (continued) The resolution merely expressed support for Christians. It may be touted by the Christian Right as a moral victory, but the actual text of it is pretty benign. I think you could be genuinely concerned if it said that Christians were better than all other religions or that atheists were an abomination. Surely some people who are rejoicing at this resolution's passage think that way, but that is not what the resolution says. Peace.
As an atheist and an American I was disappointed over this vote too. It isn't the government's job to legislate religious opinions. It is also inaccurately implies that this nation was founded on Christianity. We really are a secular government.
I disagree with any form of bigotry, but I think this bill was a waste of time, and blurs the separate of church and state.
However, Dennis Kucinich hasn't lost my vote by a long shot. He's still the best candidate by far.
Yeah, HR 847 is pretty retarded, apparently invented to reassure some insecure Christians, but it doesn't actually do anything as far as I can tell. It rubs me the wrong way and I'm not an atheist, but I really doubt DK would have voted for it if it actually infringed on anyone's rights.
Religious freedom means freedom to practice religion as well as freedom to not practice it.
The Government should thus not be "secular" but instead it should be "religiously non-biased"
For instance, the words "under god" in the Pledge of Aligence should be "optional" as it offends some people with it, some people without it, and nobody should EVER be required to say the pledge of Aligance, as that requirement does offend some people.
I donated on 12-15-2007. I'm 35 years old and it was my first donation to a anything political. DK is the first person involved in politics in whom I believe. I'm changing my party affiliation so I can vote for him in the primaries.
Dennis is a REAL DEMOCRAT!!! Democrats are supposed to be a party of the people,the poor,the homeless,minorities,the sick,the veterans,the elderly and the common everyday working person. This has been forgotten,however,there are still a few REAL democrats out there..Dennis being the best of the lot!!!!!!
Because of the absence of true self-understanding, we cling too much to things and create ideologies. So politics becomes purpose to itself and economy operates for the sake of economy, rather than to serve people.
A flash of sanity leads to a realisation that we are the creators and masters of politics and economy -- we are not slaves to them.
Politics is not about enslavement of life, but about liberation and fulfilment of life.
I LOVE THIS MAN. He speaks the TRUTH. He has WISDOM. He KNOWS the people. Those things are so rare in leaders in this country. This man is worlds above current candidates. THIS IS A TRUE LEADER -- the only one who deserves the post of President of this country.
Vote for Kucinich as a write in candidate, because no matter who wins you will have voted for a good person. Voting for a corporate candidate even if they are "less evil" than another front-runner, is still not as good as being able to honestly say we voted for someone we believed in.
What a perfect video your honesty shines through, come on america get this man in office ffs the rest of the world has had enough of the war mongers, God help us if another nut job gets in. there are 3 people worth voteing for but Kucinich is the leaps ahead of the others with his views and policys btw socialised medicine would save america 1.5 trillion in 10 years...
There is no justice in poltics. This system needs to be thrown out. Dennis is the only good candidate... but the corruption of the corporate ties within politics won't allow him to have a chance (hence the corruption of US politics).
Rock on Dennis!

When you're fixated on fund raising and NOT principles, I can see how corporate interests take hold and strangle your principles.
