Dennis Kucinich-Democracy For America straw poll

[freakylocz14]

Paul/Kucinich 2012

[porcupine07]

We are NOT a Democracy! How can he stand there and lie? HE KNOWS!

"A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in their way.... The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness [excessive license] which the ambitious call, and ignorant believe to be liberty." - Fisher Ames, Author of the House Language for the First Amendment

[NatasPad]

get your facts straight, he did not ENDORSE anyone (Se PBS Bill Moyers Journal)

And its idiotic to pay attention to who is "electable" where did that concept come from? Is that in the Constitution? Is people deciding what cant happen which determines what can't happen. There is absolutely NO reason why Kucinich can not be elected!

[JoseyJJJ]

In several debates Kucinich bashed the most viable Progressive candidate - John Edwards!

Kucinich supporters have bashed him too - and circulated lies about Edwards.

Now - Kucinich endorses Obama who has stated Bush's actions do not even warrant impeachment!

I've lost all respect for Kucinich.

[Rkymtnmary]

Is anyone paying attention though to who is 'electable" - check out the major polls...Dennis is not..and btw, reports are out that he's asking his supporters to throw their support to Obama for 2nd tier. I have just lost all trust in Dennis.

[Wolfiemouse]

Dennis ready to walk his talk, and calls for America to do the same!!!

[zasabiibasaz]

[BOOSTRED]

dude u got my vote!

[06151215]

When we gave corporations the right to be identified as "persons", we took the living out of life. Corporations are NOT persons and the people who run them ought to be held accountable for their degradation of the Earth. They pay taxpayers less and less, while charging more and more. They take our money for services they scheme to deny. They destroy the Earth. They make products that kill life. Reclaim living power. Abolish unLiving CORPs' right to be identified as "persons".

[06151215]

Polticians are our servants and need reminding that this is a democracy. Those with less are greater in numbers in any democracy run on capitalism. We are a nation of resourceful people. We need to learn to use our talents together and see what we all have in common, life. And we need to respect ALL life. No non-living entity can take life from Earth unless we abuse the greatest of all resources - Human Will.

[VianahNaman]

Politicians give themselves huge pay raises yet ignore the minimum wage earner; they are seduced and corrupted by the power of unLiving CORPs. We elect them to serve our interests, but they instead serve theirs in the stock market. Land value climbs high while the dollar buys less and less. The era of CutBacks has left MOST living cut to the bone, scared to death they may lose their jobs at the UnLiving CORPs. Who is left holding the money? Friends of UnLiving CORPs.

[sentencing]

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich 08!!!!!!!!

[HaleyMary]

I like this guy. He not only speaks about peace, but he speaks his mind and doesn't necessarily go along with the crowd. Unfortunately, I'm Canadian so I won't be able to take part in the American election, but I wish Dennis the best of luck. I hope he wins. :)

[cormex55]

Kick ass Dennis! Pimp Slap cheney and bush...

[zarkonthezeb]

BTW you can order those Pocket Constitutions from dennis4president. com.

[zarkonthezeb]

Dennis Kucinich is the MAN! I would fully support a Kucinich/Edwards ticket.  Or a Kucinich/Obama ticket. NOT a Kucinich/Clinton ticket, however.

[ironwolfosiris]

If either Kucinich or Paul win, all is good.

[c1magr8]

Oh I'm sorry you mis spelled Romney! I believe it's spelled "prettyboybullshitartist"

You vote for that asshole & you'll get the same shit you have now! Good move there Billy Bob!

[c1magr8]

God I love what this guy stands for! He is a true American! I don't agre with everything he says but his heart is in the right place. Like Ron Paul, he cares about this country & it's values. He respects our privacy, our freedoms, & the right of the individual. He had enough sense to vote against the needless war & the Patriot Act which name disrespects the very word it's named after.

[jakeHart1982]

Kucinich '08!

[betheganx010]

Here are my questions about the other Democratic candidates:

Hillary: Why do you need to label the Iranian National Guard as "Terrorists" to negotiate with Iran?

Obama & Edwards: Why aren't you willing to remove our troops from Iraq right away? What about Kucinich's plan to have the UN impose security there?

Can someone help me understand?

[demurish]

These are great questions... One thing to remember is that even though you cannot leave these comments on other candidates' videos, you can still send messages the authors of the allowed comments!

KUCINICH FOR PRESIDENT!!

[guitar49]

Dennis Kucinich for 2008 because he knows the danger of this corrupt Bush administration and it can lead to a war with Iran and as George Bush warned WW3.Wake up people!

[ellenloveseverything]

ron paul can critize the war and the bush administration, but then he voted to table HR333 to impeach cheney. he lost my respect, too.

kucinich 08!!!!

[seajayh]

Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul are the only serious candidates worthy of consideration. The rest are all about more war, fearmongering or mudslinging.

[demurish]

I used to respect Ron Paul's honesty and commitment to the Constitution, but then Paul voted to table (or kill) Kucinich's resolution to impeach Cheney yesterday.

How can Ron Paul support the Constitution and then support unconstitutional acts by Cheney?

KUCINICH FOR PRESIDENT!!

[c1magr8]

Hey Demurish ... I like Kucinich too! & I also like Ron Paul ... we won't agree with everything they stand for or do ... but we know that they are both worlds better then the dogshit president we have now ... or the other dogshit candidates which are running now! Hell, with the way bush has fucked up this country, I would vote for Donald Duck if knew how to read the Constitution!!!

[eMystic]

Dennis Kucinich is the ONLY presidential candidate WORTHY of the Office of President of the United States.

Senator, you have my vote and my money - All the way!

[mathguy112358]

eMystic- Dennis is actually a Representative.

Kucinich '08!

[eMystic]

Yeah, brain fart... There's no way to edit these messages... :-P

[betheganx010]

Senator,Thank you for being the only senator to have the strength of conviction to pursue an impeachment of Cheney. This congress has been unwilling to hold the current administration accountable for their duplicitious actions. Cheney and his neo-con cronies cherry-picked false information to mislead this country into believing that Iraq was a threat. Why has there been no action taken against these criminals? Thank you for bringing this up and please don't back down!!

[mathguy112358]

betheganx010- If Representative Kucinich was a Senator, he would not have been able to introduce a resolution to impeach Cheney. That can only be done in the House of Representatives.

[betheganx010]

I made a mistake. I also didn't realize that senators can't introduce such a resolution. I guess that's why my favorite senators haven't made such a move. Thanks for the info!

[Ozz04]

Don't forget any one who registers as a Democrat can vote for Dennis Kucinich to win the Democratic primary.

Kucinich 2008

[bezgin]

Kucinich is the only hope!

Strength through peace against Ron Paul spammers!

[askantik]

What polls are you looking at? Dennis is in 4th place in most national and state polls. He's topping all of the "leading" Dems and Al Gore in DFA's poll, which has a total vote number of 140,000. So he's going nowhere? Don't be upset just because he's gaining a foothold.

[BlackSabbath2007]

RON PAUL 2008 !!!

[YazDawg]

kucinich voted against the second ammendment.

[askantik]

Ron Paul wants to abolish all government. I don't want to live in an anarchy. Ron Paul wants to let corporations run the government. They already do... The only thing Ron Paul has to do is make it legal. F*** that.

[rundoetx]

wrong. He wants the american people to run the country though fredom. If you don'r like Walmart or Exxon. Buy someplace else.

[scarletsneakers]

Kucinich isn't only right about preserving the Constitution, but about impeachment, universal healthcare and many other issues.

[blackturtleus]

I'm sickened every time I see Bush/Cheney in the news. To have as president a man who is obviously guilty of invading a foreign country based on false premises is just wrong.

[palimony]

The USA is not a democracy, it is a constitional republic; hence the UNITED STATES in USofA. Come on Dennis

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@palimony

Um, do you have any idea what you're talking about? America is a constitutional republic AND a functional democracy. The two are not mutually exclusive. Whether you like it or not, our country is indeed set up to work by majority rule.

[westphalianprinz]

This is a paleoconservative talking point. I see it usually with supporters of a certain member of congress from Texas.

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@westphalianprinz

yeah, i thought the same thing. the supporters of that unnamed congressman often argue in favor of tyranny. it boggles the mind. sometimes their comments are so absurd i think i'm reading satire.

[palimony]

who said anything about functional? Democracy by definition is every single citizen makes the choices. when was the last time you voted for an appropriations bill? or a new ciggarette tax? how many total bills have you voted for or against this year? Unless by functional you mean as close as you can get without touching the prize. Let's be realistic, the USA is not a democracy.

[westphalianprinz]

You can have a republic and have very little popular sovereignty. We are a constitutional republic with strong popular sovereignty. The Roman Republic, the Dutch Republic, and the rest throughout history have been oligarchical republics-- and that's where the USA is headed.

[palimony]

dear peace of westphalia

you conclude that we're just getting on our way?

[westphalianprinz]

By that type of oligarchy, I mean a type where your vote cannot change anything. Our vote can change some things.

[palimony]

haha a vote changing something? haha

[askantik]

By the way, Dennis is acting like that because he's pissed. And he should be. He deserves to win because he was right when it counted and he's right on the issues. He doesn't dance around questions and he doesn't BS. Yet all the media does is bring up stuff to make him look stupid.

[askantik]

What is stupid about a REAL candidate for the PEOPLE who will make America a respected nation instead of a foolish and pompous bigot? What's stupid about a REAL healthcare system, about REAL environmental principles, and what's stupid about STRENGTH through PEACE?

[askantik]

Thank you, Dennis.

[Dutchoven08]

Obviously Dennis doesn't have the 200 million dollar entourage of hair, makeup, lighting guys, sound engineers, multiple teleprompter operators, producers, communications directors, script writers etc that HillaryCo and ObamaCo have. Probably because he doesn't take Corporate Payoffs!

DK'08 baby!

[fearnotfear]

Or is it that we are used to the theatre played for us everyday on T.V.?

[nanderson65]

I'm for Dennis!

All the way!

[legalizeliberty]

5 stars from a Ron Paul supporter

good luck Dennis

but if you fail in stopping warmonger Hillary

give Ron a call

Unity Against Fascism!

[ironwolfosiris]

I think Paul and Dennis could be a good team.

[zarkonthezeb]

I disagree.

[profmyers]

Go Dennis!!

[snoopdog68]

Dennis is better than hillary by a mile.

[mikeburetta]

Dennis is my guy:because he stands up where others cower,he is saying the things and explaining the issues as "WE" all really know they are! "We are the people we have been waiting for" So i say dennis thanks I as part of that we will be doin all i can to get you delagates to the convention maybe even this year a real convention that isnt just a coronation but one that speaks to the issues -our issues! keep on truckin buddy because your our guy and we support you..by the way good video!

[moikl]

he seems high...

[abernatchie]

Kucinich 2008! Re-elect Kucinich 2012!

Strenth through Peace and America's 1st Department of Peace to manifest the "diplomacy" so many others merely suggest. Environmental impact through a Green Works Administration modeled after the WPA.

Not-for-profit healthcare, immediate w/draw of troops & peacekeeping efforts in Irag. . end of strongholds like: NAFTA, WTO, Patriotic & Real ID Acts.

Sound good? Sound American - Vote Kucinich!

[rundoetx]

spounds better without the federal government running it.

Vote Ron Paul.

[abernatchie]

Worth Repeating! Well said, Shmecklecka.

THANK YOU DENNIS!

Finally, for the first time ever in my voting memory, I don't have to try to find the lesser of evils to vote for. Finally we have a candidate who is completely GOOD!

Thank you for renewing our hope in democracy, and in the idea that presidential candidates can indeed inspire action and legislation for the genuine common good.

Ditto that!

[boscoremus]

Article I, of US Const. clearly states that only gold and silver coin shall be a tender in the payment of debts. THere has not been an amendment to change. Dold and silver was removed by Executive Order of FDR and Nixon EO's are not amendments.

Dennis is violating his Oath of Office by not bringing gold and silver back to our currency

[cegrant]

Dennis Kucinich is the real thing. He has fought for our liberties and rights at crucial moments, often standing virtually alone. Other candidates borrow his words but not his actions. Strength like this looks and feels different and it can change the world.

[boscoremus]

Oh Yeah, Why hasn't he signed on to cosponsor H. R. 3835 of the 110th congress?

Why wasn't he even there to vote on H.R. 2900, which gives the power to the FDA to become a Big Pharma. What good will be the health care program he promotes when all you will get is medicine that will be approved by the FDA? WHat has he done to protect Health freedom in the USA?

[boscoremus]

Oh Yeah, Why hasn't he signed on to cosponsor H. R. 3835 of the 110th congress?

[treehugger1023]

You have my total support, Dennis! I am so impressed not just with your stands, but by your courage, tenacity, and humanity. You stand head and shoulders above all other Democratic candidates. I look forward to you debating whoever the Repubs come up with.

[boscoremus]

Dennis are you lying or have you just mis spoken?

You are NOT the only candidate running for president who voted against the Patriot Act or the war in Iraq.

You are the only candidate from the democratic party to vote against the these 2 items!!

Ron Paul voted against both the Patriot Act and the war in Iraq!!!

Are you going to be honest enough candidate to remake this video to reflect the truth? Or are you going to leave it as is to spread a lie?

[willownewf]

Kucinich states his votes in Congress like this because he is not concerned with the Republican candidates at this time. Wait until they both get nominated, then it will be the time to point out the voting records of the Republicans. Now is the time to point out that Kucinich is the only Democrat actually representing the Democrats! Dennis Kucinich is the Man we need to bring back Democracy.

Kucinich for President

Strength through Peace

4Peace,

Dorothy

[willownewf]

Kucinich states his voting record like this because he is campaigning to be the Democrats nominee for President. When he start his campaign against the Republican nominee, and if it's Ron Paul, he will not make the same points.

[oMaxPayne]

Go Dennis. You have my vote.

[Jazzinger]

Dennis is my inspiration to be involved in this next election process. He is the light of truth that cuts through all the subterfuge and rhetoric like a fine intense beam focusing on our cellular all-knowing center probably living somewhere in our bone marrow. Last time I felt like this was with JFK and MLK. Please, powers that be, let it be DJK this time.

[willownewf]

Jazzinger,

Your comment is well said, and beautifully written. THANK YOU!

Dennis Kucinich has the courage to stand up for our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Kucinich lives the Truth and will bring back Democracy! It is so amazing to have someone that is truthful, honest and courageous standing up for all Americans!

Kucinich for President

Strength through Peace

[boscoremus]

Oh Yeah, Why hasn't he signed on to cosponsor H. R. 3835 of the 110th congress?

[linguy22]

Dennis Kucinich,

I voted for you in the poll!

I emailed and phoned reps to ask them to vote against "tabling" and to vote for impeachment.

Dennis Kucinich I am voting for you! In the primaries and the election. I know you will be our next president.

With much love, respect and admiration!

LG

[HappyVforVictory]

Dennis Rocks!!!

[forex01]

what a great video and an incredible person.

[skiman1115]

The link and directions on how to vote in the DFA Poll are located in the "About this Video" Section located to the right of the Video. Just click on "More info" to display it. So go cast your vote for Dennis now!!! and help us spread this video to others.

[DB300000]

Good talk Dennis. I think you ought to rein in Bush by getting Congress to warn him in a resolution or law that if he makes anymore acts of aggression which widen the conflict in the middleeast and elsewhere, he and his accomplices will be arrested and sequistered during impeachment proceedings.

[joeystockdale]

Keep it up Dennis. Thanks not for backing down about the UFO. I also saw a triangle shaped craft float over my house and it was the size of two football feilds! We need to stop all the secrecy and see where all are money is going.

[jorusiv]

I would so vote for Dennis if I was an American.

The rest of the world need him to be the next president too so if you don't plan to do it for yourself, do it for the rest of the world! Everyone else would, more or less, continue with the horrific foreign politics that are in effect today.

[agitcam]

Dennis I support you and will vote for you but stop patting yourself on the back about being the only one to do this and the first to do that. It's getting old.

[breaks0]

Hilary and the others aren't doing worse in that regard? He's running for president so a certain degree of ego is required. But pointing out the facts of what he's said, done and voted for and against and how that separates him from the rest of the rest of the field is how he has to make his case for office (even if one of his mantra's is how he's alone on these issues among the candidates).

[breaks0]

I don't see exacting how that sort of self congradulation, if you wanna call it that, is harmful. Maybe you're making a stylistic point about it seeming "arrogant" or "self righteous." Fair point, but again I'd say he's relatively modest, if aggressive. Against the other snakes in the race, he has to be aggressive and so far, it's working.

[agitcam]

Dear breaks0,I have consistently supported Dennis since his run in '04. He's been explaining his correct decisions vs. his opponents decisions now for months. Everybody knows he was right on Iraq and that his program for healthcare, et al is great and he's still in the cellar. Hillary keeps flip-flopping and her numbers go up. His impeachment initiative may help but there needs to be something dynamic to change the trend. There isn't much time left.

[tylermanchesteruntd]

is Dennis a liberal or conservitive? also, is he republican or a dem. ?

[westphalianprinz]

I've already voted in this straw poll for Kucinich. You need to do the same!

[zotde75]

Also it's ridiculous you got asked if you saw a UFO at the democratic debate!!! That question was not serious and was purposely asked to make you look foolish and crazy.

[BigOrangeTitan]

They used that question to distract people from the fact that Dennis called the "top tier" Democrats Bush's enablers in Iraq and he also called for impeachment. Richardson, also willing to withdraw troops completely was asked the same goofy type of question after the debate.

[breaks0]

4th place is very close to the top tier. Especially since he's already got at least half (if not more) the support that Edwards has.

[zotde75]

Awesome!!!  Dennis, we love you.
