"IMAGINE"-Kucinich 08 Ad Response

[IceyPancho]

Too bad he dropped out of the race. To me he appears as the only non-anglo saxon hegemonist among the major candidates. The empire is crumbling.

[lanilani06]

DENNIS - so incredibly electable! If you are ready, he is! My vote is his.

[tagurit2002]

Kucinich is a warrior in a modern society. Where others our talking about what is wrong without offeriing true solutions, Dennis is out there doing his job. Thanks so much. All our love Dennis. Please keep up the good work.

[pbnpickles]

This man is the only candidate that truly stands for the people!! Get out and vote and the primaries people!! Stand up and be heard!

[silversouris]

illegal immigration seems to be an important issue for you--why?

[didntmeanto]

Kucinich has a vision of America that corporate America will fight, so we must fight with him. I have never been involved in politics but I plan to caucus for Kucinich.

[guitarsrule1]

corporate America wants us all comfortably numb. Go Kucinich

[Luis33W]

Your point is an excelent one. It's amazing how the corporations are not shutting Edwards out, the man claiming to be the working man's President. Could it be that the corporations have a reason not to be afraid of Edwards? So the real truth really is looking at who they are silencing. Funny how well we all listen to the silence...and vote Kucinich!

[dinodude64]

hE IS THE GREATEST AMERICAN I HAVE SEEN. HE TAKES ON THE EVIL EMPIRE. SUPPORT HIM. IMPEACH THE FREAKS. EVERYONE TRIES TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IT IS SUCH A BIG DEAL. IT ISN'T. WHEN A LEADER MESSES UP YOU IMPEACH HIM AND REPLACE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. HOW DO YOU THINK ARNOLD GOT IN OFFICE? IT IS OUR US RIGHT.

[msmisunderstood]

It's awesome and I love it more every time I see it.

[thisismyeighthtry]

I really love Dennis. One for bias (He's from right where I am from!) He's also the only logical choice

[Emily2531]

My only criticism is that it was too brief. great style.

[clifhanger26]

Donate December 15th. We can give him a chance in this election. Kucinich v Ron Paul 08

[SyrenaRae]

December 15th, please donate what you can to Dennis Kucinich's campaign. Lets show the world his electability! Let's get his ads on the air! DENNIS KUCINICH for PRESIDENT, 2008 and again in 2012!

[silversouris]

MAKE IT HAPPEN.

[chog2xcool]

Don't say that Kucinich has no chance. There are differences between Paul & Kucinich. Kucinich stands for progressive/liberal principles. Paul is a conservative Republican. I prefer Kucinich eventhough they are both against the war in Iraq. "STRENGTH THROUGH PEACE" is a new direction that this country needs. And Dennis Kucinich is ready to lead this nation to a brighter future. TY! VOTE DK 2008!

[askantik]

Finally, someone with a brain! Go Dennis :)

[Salladsdressing]

Kucinich is allright! But what about RON PAUL!

Ron Paul is the only candidate that actually have supporters IN OTHER COUNTRIES! They are everywhere! He will be a loved president!

[silversouris]

except for blacks, mexicans, and gays---right?

dennis kucinich. for gay marriage. for a path to citizenship. for a candidate not endorsed by the kkk.

dennis kucinich. strength through peace.

[patrickleo79]

ummm, gay for Ron Paul right here.

i would like to see a Paul v Kucinich general election

[silversouris]

Wow......wow...

I'm not even going to try arguing this.

[patrickleo79]

wow, I'm being voted down for being gay?!?! true American values shining through... or am I voted down for supporting Kucinich? or is it because I want to see an election between two intelligent, credible, honest candidates??? I'm missing something

[harrybinladen]

maybe you got voted down for being for ron paul? - most people here will be lefty democrats. but then again, knowing america you might have been voted down for being gay.

[YazDawg]

actually, all of those minorities love him.

[wilburjr]

Nice job on the vid. Dennis has a lot of guts. Please view searchword wilburjr-thanks.

[bezgin]

Hope.

[lanilani06]

Kucinich - so incredibly electable! He's got my vote. We need a president who will restore dignity and respect for America in the world.

[PenaltyKillah]

Very professional!

[erkd1]

Raul, you are brilliant!

[silversouris]

How long does it take you to make an ad like this? MAKE MORE!!!!!

Are you going to be at the Oct27 Rally with the Kucinich table?

[AliveIAm]

Truly inspiring! You do great work! And Kucinich has my full support!

[silversouris]

Your artistic support for Dennis is truly inspiring. Thanks.

Epic ad.

[peaceinneworleans]

If you like Kucinich's words, watch "I Have a Dream in New Orleans." It is a speech about a nonviolent resistance movement in New Orleans.

[TERRAN1212]

You've got to get Dennis to use this as a TV ad or maybe during a debate when they get to make their own ads.

[anmrone2]

Raul, I have to say that this is one of the best short spots for Kucinich that I have seen. Fantastic job, you are not only quite creative, but in your support of a Kucinich presidency you are wise beyond your years!

Only Kucinich in 08

Right Then...Right Now...Right For America

[spookytom]

Beautiful video. Wish it could have been a bit longer!

Kucinich in 2008!

[infinitejoy101]

I LOVE DENNIS :)

VOTE DENNIS 2008!

[ferrisphotography]

[llStopBushNowll]

Very creative! Keep up the good work Raul

[askantik]

I look forward to your next ad, Raul!

Please check out my project, which supports Dennis Kucinich at myspace[dot]com/ecoaware

[Wolfiemouse]

Learn all you can about Dennis Kucinich and then tell everybody you know.

[dklinetobe]

No room for shoving pushing name-calling. There is an evil empire at work and you guys spend your energy making sure someone's dotting all their i's and harping about the past. The time comes soon, my friends, please spend your energy CONstructing (not de-) and try to be positive(not neg-).

[ELCHUPACABRA123]

great inspiring

[global49]

Hell yes

[campaignads]

your ad has been featured at campaignads dot org

[MrsKewlkruse]

I want to see this on TV. I REALLY want to see this on TV. Has Kucinich talked to you about possibly using this?

[vandalissimus]

No competition...you won

[TERRAN1212]

WOW this is fantastic! Submit this to all the contests!

[Evmonk]

"Hardball" (MSNBC) is running a "Campaign Ad Challenge." You should submit this.

msnbc DOT msn DOT com/id/19862336/

[askantik]

Still a great video. In 10 days you got 8,000 views. That ain't too bad, my friend. By the way, my only suggestion would be making the text a little bigger (at least it's hard to read on YouTube, maybe it wouldn't be on TV... *hint hint*) and also making the "that candidate is here" part on 2 lines like someone else suggested.

[DurShar]

Nobody but Dennis in 2008.

[giggsdadragon]

Yeah but Hilary is the most popular ya know and I mean U.S. corrupt and I don't belive that Dennis Kucinich will be candidate! In my point of view he is the best candidate but I said it U.S. politics are tooooooooo corrupt! Best wishes to Dennis

[auraldanger]

He doesn't need your wishes, but he can use all the money and votes you've got!!!

Don't just wish or pray for him to win. That shit is not only pointless, but rediculous. VOTE. Damnit, just vote!!!

[tastysalad]

yes!lets have the illiterate (auraldanger) vote!ha!learn to spell before you preach!

[Freshmanwave]

And you should capitalise correctly. Otherwise you cannot really criticise anyone.

P.S. I am spelling in the Canadian fashion.

[tastysalad]

not you,"auraldanger".by the way,the only reason i brought it up is because he claims to be a college professor.

[djork05]

I fully support Kucinich!!!

[DeltaMacht]

I saw someone comment that it would be nice for more Kucinich audio. I agree. It would be cool to make one just like this but the silence interrupted by Kucinich making very telling statements.

[DeltaMacht]

Awesome video! Very well done, thanks for making it. Keep up the good work!

[ChurchHatesTucker]

Nicely done (and I'm a conservative.) Only weak spot is the reveal--it's a tad too wordy. I'd probably break it in two: "That candidate is here." & "His name is Dennis Kucinich."

[Freshmanwave]

Hmm...that is not a bad idea (which proves that not all conservatives are bad, just the crazy ones and jerks).

[tastysalad]

conflicts arent settled with negotiations.people tried that with hitler in the 30s and look what happened to them.pussies.

[Darksidevoid]

That was appeasement, not real negotiation. In real negotiation, you bend the other party to your will by adding conditions and upping the stakes. The USA and Europe just stood idly by and let Hitler do what he was doing, because they didn't want to deal with him.

[tastysalad]

and whos to say "negotiation will work with iranians?THEY ARE ITCHING FOR A FIGHT AND YOU LIBERALS ARENT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!oh,yeah,WE'RE STILL FIGHTING A GLOBAL WAR!!!

[Freshmanwave]

Hmm...Iran actually backed US action in Afghanistan, and now shoot them in the back? Great diplomacy, dude.

[auraldanger]

The reason that World War I, World War II, World War III, Vietnam, Korea took place, was so that the Federal Reserve could loan our government money at a high interest rate, and so the American people could be fucked. It had nothing to do with jews or actual conflict. Religion was created to divide us, so that we will never have the power. We can change this.

[tastysalad]

World War 1 started when the air to the Austro-Hungarian throne was assassinated with his wife.The only reason America entered later in the war was when the Lusitania was torpedoed.Learn your history hippie!

[auraldanger]

youtube search: "america freedom to fascism"

watch. learn. watch again. then vote. I'm no Hippie, brother. I'm a History Professor. I suppose that FDR never said that we needed to find a way to make Japan fire the first shot, in WWII as well? Don't believe the hype.

[tastysalad]

well im ashamed my parents tax dollars are paying your salary so you can spread leftist propaganda at a college campus.

[auraldanger]

It's a PRIVATE college, my good friend. Most of the kids here are working their way through.

[auraldanger]

and also... that's RIGHT wing propaganda, ala Ron Paul.. Libertarian propaganda. maybe you shouldn't buy into the Bill Oreilly propaganda, dipshit.

[tastysalad]

if you are so mature maybe you could refrain ffrom foul language on a public forum.

[auraldanger]

there is no use in trying for any kind of civil discourse with a person who spouts right wing talking points. it only descends into chaos... it's like calling someone Hitler in a debate, it is over from that point on. Likewise, he's right wing--he's not thinking clearly at all, and doesn't posess the deductive reasoning to consider that maybe intelligent design is a farce. or that democracy is fragile.

[tastysalad]

and it is impossible to debate with an arrogant liberal facist who holds himself in the highest regard.

[auraldanger]

I'm not a "liberal," I'm Progressive. There is a difference. I believe in a different role for government, that it is meant to HELP, not hinder. If you know ANYTHING about History, you realize that articles were published in US News media saying that any ships that entered those waters would be sank. We sent that ship there anyway, because we wanted war. Same with WWII, and baiting Japan into attacking.

[auraldanger]

don't be so naive, it's pathetic. If you read the Preamble to the consitution, you will also note that Provide for the national defense is one of SIX purposes of this government... hardly the first, more like the LAST--go on, read it. That is if it won't put you on a watch list to check it out at the library.

[tastysalad]

I AM JAPANESE AND I BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS BULLSHIT!

and by the way,liberals,democrats,"progre­ssives" are all the same pussies.

[auraldanger]

If you are Japanese and are calling Democrats pussies, perhaps you better think back to the shadows of your relatives burned into the sidewalks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Pussies? What, we haven't killed enough innocent people yet? Perhaps Japan wants to eat another Nuke? Get real, buddy. Human life is more precious than you retarded cousin fucking right wingers can fathom. Go back to your Fox News and your 24 re-runs retard.

[Freshmanwave]

Don't let the FOXNEWS guys demonise "liberal". Take the term back.

[Freshmanwave]

Liberal is the opposite of fascist politically.

[zakkuchan]

"Liberal fascist" is just about the biggest oxymoron I've ever seen. From left to right, it goes: communist, socialist, liberal, moderate, conservative, Bush, fascist.

[Freshmanwave]

Okay, how do I contribute to his campaign? This has to go up in NH and IA ASAP.

[squarebubbles]

Go to kucinich [dot] us or his new URL dennis4president [dot] com and hit the contribute button.

Kucinich is the best candidate out there and deserves every penny that we give him in contributions. $50 or $100 is nothing compared to everything he will do for us once he gets into office!

[squarebubbles]

FANTASTIC!! This is excellent quality and should definitely be used by the campaign!!

[clarkb45]

Raul4Kucinich, I am trying to put up a site to support Dennis. It is called America's Future. The URL is djk4(dot)us/a - I want to be able to put many videos and picture on the site. I'l love to use yours. How can I go about getting the video and placing it on my site?

[auraldanger]

Clark, you can scroll up to where the information is up above, and there is a spot that says "embed"

copy that code and place it between your HTML tags on your website, and it will have the video, with a link to this page, and youtube. KEEP IT UP!

[litestreamer]

Stellar! High quality - a beautiful piece of work, dramatic audio... Would love to see it with an even longer format (also with words larger or growing from smaller to larger).

Great idea Dennis, calling upon the creative resources of other visionaries for peace and equity in our time.

How can we get these message ads for general public viewing?

[Ozz04]

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

Kucinich 2008

[haze4peace]

This is an excellent video, very professional, I hope I get to see it on TV sometime!

[april4kucinich]

awesome piece of work!!

Very dramatic!

I love it!

[Alyzabeth01]

Good job:)

[elgeneralsv]

I liked the video only I thought the Imagine was going to be from John Lennon

[ElCarcho]

It seems that you downgraded the video quality for youtube, is there a higher quality version of it and can it be downloaded? Also, are you going to make more issue ads like this? We should work to build coalitions and get this and similar ads on the air. Amazing work, we need to make it seen!

Nobody but Dennis in '08!

[Bluvenus]

This is an awesome video/ad. As a previous comment stated, I would also love to see a series of these, with each highlighting various issues. I also think there should be more audio clips of Dennis on each. Some people don't read that fast ...

Kucinich 2008!!!

[CFLOW58]

This needs to be placed into New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, California & Nevada TV Markets STAT!!!!

We also need to make a radio version with someone speaking over the music at the beginning the IMAGINE text...

How much money would it take to make that happen.

We should rally an online fund to pay for this to get out to these states and run it constantly, have a series of these same style commercials.

Raul4Kucinich, this is SPOT ON!

[dhoag12]

Excellent subject, excellent presentation!

[profmyers]

That's really good!

[Isaac707]

GREAT JOB IT almost made me cry! I loved it!

Peace Love and Joy, DENNIS 2008!

Spread the Message! The message of Peace!

[lovuian]

Awesome Loved it

[truthforamerica]

Most Democrats push socialist agendas.

[ponyboy316]

And?

[Freshmanwave]

Not true, especially not Hillary and the DLC. Also, what's wrong with socialism?

[qwerty4197]

nothing wrong w/ socialism - only that it faces the most persistent and concentrated propaganda campaign in history.

[akesling]

and most republicans push fascist agendas, so what's your point?

[Freshmanwave]

Cool!

[Dreckins]

Good production values, but it doesn't tell me enough about Kucinich. Dennis has a lot going for him b/c you can see people gravitate towards him the more people hear him speak + get to know what he stands for. You gotta design an ad that sends the clear + powerful message that this guy delivers on all the issues. Also, the word "Imagine" works great for print, but NOT for a 30 sec spot. I imagine a lot of positive change when I think Kucinich, but people watch TV so they don't have to think.

[ponyboy316]

If people don't want to think, then why the hell do they vote? Voting requires deep thought in who you are going to represent you. If you choose not to think, why vote? People who don't think, but still vote, vote for people who don't think.

[Gubbinz]

awesome video. i'm more about ron paul than kucinich, but what wouldn't be better than a kucinich vs. paul election.

[momerath42]

indeed- unless it were an election of kucinich/paul vs paul/kucinich:)

[xerxes3]

great job, thanks so much for helping kucinich

[micheleqj]

would love to see a series of these with same visual style but hitting different messages...universal pre-k and college; 'no-strings' without wall street or lobbyist money; etc... again amazing job

[micheleqj]

great video -- amazing job -- best one ive seen - gotta start spreading this around

[vinnycolletti]

Hey- Great Job! And Thanks for promoting the only candidate that offers us some hope for the future-Dennis Kucinich 2008!

[chi1088]

does what a commercial should do...it got me wanting to know more about kucinich.

[filthpunkdammit]

wonderfully done! really excellent work.

[askantik]

Awesome! I hope this gets posted on Kucinich's website, at least. I don't know if it'll be shown on TV, but it'd certainly be nice. Great work.

[Evmonk]

This is a very slick, powerful ad. Wonderful work!

[xyangsta]

nicely done! looks really neat :) i'd consider another audio clip of dennis, though. just this by itself out of context (of the debate question about 2012) makes him sound kind of arrogant.

[Raul4Kucinich]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I know what you mean. I was initially going to put an audio clip of him talking about the issues, but since I had already written about those issues in the beginning of the video, I decided to place an audio clip that display's Kucinich's confidence and optimism. It does sound a little arrogant, but I think most people would agree that it fits in nicely.

[hottdog3]

Amazing Dennis - Go, go, go, go - Dennis 08

[ElCarcho]

WOW! Thats amazing! That should deffinatly be on TV! 5 stars is no where near enough! Good job man!

<b>Nobody but Dennis Kucinich in 2008!</b>

[blakkat31]

He's my President! The only choice as far as I'm concerned. Not much will change with anyone else unfortunately because most Democrats act too much like Republicans now. I guess they're trying to appeal to the red states more, but how can they alienate us true Democrats? Only Dennis can save us!

[lenaw70]

100 stars for SURE! GREAT job!

[ijustwantmathias]

ditto!!

[rocsea]

Amazing- i love it
