Dennis Kucinich - open honest government - 10 questions

[bacelines]

This is important. Ive always felt that governments should provide financial reports to the citizens. And political parties when running for election should provide some sort of prospectus. 

[pathfinderdaddy]

If we had this one policy in effect, so many evil and dark actions and policies would become

impossible.

[strawberrywithcheese]

Dennis is the best of all the candidates. I truly wish he could win. We need CNN/NBC News Channels to pay more attention to him. I guess you never know though He could be president. It is up to you and me. Together we can make him our president.

[AknProfessor]

I do wish this Guy had more chances of winning,

as I do love all he says and seems to believe in

How I'd really feel more like I would be to vote for my/ of my heart.. but to see the poles as they are and truly wanting more change in the White House I'd have to vote for either Clinton and or Barrack of these two I will have to for as I'd not want my vote to be taken away from Dem's side and pray to have the Dem's back into the white House...

[4ourthofjuly]

What a good man.

[mirandadesigners]

yes, he is a good man, a real humanist.

[celticmagik]

I am trying to reach Dennis to extend my sincerest sympathy for his loss. I know one's mind goes into a "shock-like" state at times of grief and it can become difficult to concentrate.

We need you Dennis; this country and this planet can heal under your presidency. I've been a cynic for decades, but you turned me around and made me believe there is such a thing as an honest politician. The only support I can offer you now is my vote and the knowledge that I care.

[mathguy112358]

If you turn eighteen after your state's primary/caucus but before the general election you can still register to vote for Dennis in the primaries/caucuses.

[cityview1989]

If we dont elect Dennis Kucinich for president. Be ready and aware that the next president is going to be MORE secretive and CORRUPTED

[Lucidtomr]

Air Quality, did you guys know Kucinich tried to protect us... google HR2977, he tried to stop the chemtrails causing morgellons disease and weakened immune system, and that was 6 years ago.

Cameras in offices, I was thinking about that too Mr Kucinich, but I thought I was the only one. Thanx, we know you are sooo honest, we thank you and give you our support. +5

[DrCrYz]

all the best mr Kucinich, you're a real decent bloke. it would be a dream if you get in office mate we here in the uk are sick of the bush mentality and you know the 51st state always follows and never questions to my peoples dismay.

[SalemXIII]

A lot of us are sick of the Bush mentality...I know I am. He is ruining our image across the globe about how people regard our nation. Now as a whole we have all suffered, even if you don't support Bush and never did.

We can only hope this all changes.

[ImpartialObserverOne]

That sounds awesome, but also fishy because we would only see what we would be allowed to see no less no more. There would still be secrecy going on, and we would be even more fooled. The government would be a like a TV show, we would only watch what they show but never really know what's behind the scenes. The idea is even worse with our on going era of multimedia, because now the government gets the label "safe" which is fare from the truth and which in it has always has been.

[ruediix]

Well, yes, this would not provide total transparency, unless you manage eliminate the common practice of lobbyists holding their own private strategy sessions with people that support them. (Whether masqueraded as a golf game, or a dinner at a restaurant or bar).

However, it is a step in the right direction, and as long as it isn't used as an excuse for no additional monitoring or reform, as you mentioned it could be, it would be good.

[johnlepo]

it just makes sense!

[Brandt761]

Awesome, way to got Dennis!

[GnosticAtheist]

If he actually won, I would move to the US.

[DoctorSensitive]

If he doesn't I am moving out. I am sick of corruption and evil. Canada, here I come!

[Fuchsia]

If he doesn't, vote for Dr. Paul. A Paul/Kucinich ticket would be ideal. I used to support Obama, but he admitted in one of the debates that he didn't care about innocent civilians dieing, as long as he got his "terrorist" target. He sux.

[DoctorSensitive]

Fuck Ron Paul. He's a backwards thinker, Kucinich is a forward thinker. There's nothing wrong with adding elements of socialism where they would improve the system. Canada is a good example that we ought to learn from. The people are generally healthy, not over worked, not underpaid, and all live a content life, for the most part. All because of some scant socialist principles implemented into the foundation of their system of governance.

[Fuchsia]

Please tell me what is backwards about Dr. Paul's thinking? He doesn't believe in socialism because he thinks too much government involvement leads to mismanagement, and for the most part, he's right. I don't fully agree with him on the health care issue, but I do know that he's introduced reforms to make the current system work better (in the form of tax credits for the terminally ill). You're right. Socialism works very well in some areas. But Paul isn't backwards.

[DoctorSensitive]

First of all, we've never had a government where the government wasn't involved with government centrally, The founding father's took away what they promised with alexander hamiltons elastic interpretation of the constitution!

[DoctorSensitive]

Secondly, it isn't the system that leads to mismanagement, it is the people. Canada's system is not being mismanaged where the general populaces investment of taxes are concerned, because the people mutually decree that the system works, which is a socialized democracy. No secrets, no corruption.

[Fuchsia]

I dont know what ur talking about in your first comment... But I agree on the second one. Its obviously not the system, but the people. There wd be no system without the people. However, the people currently involved in the system are corrupt & dont give honest folks like Paul & Kucinich the opportunity to change things. With the current office holders, I cant support socialism. But with Kucinich in charge, I definitely could. & with Paul in charge, alot of the bad apples wd be weeded out.

[DoctorSensitive]

What I was getting at was that I don't think it would be any less corrupt at the local level. Again, it is the people that are in need of a new paradigm, till they can learn to govern things fairly. Having a capitalistic dynasty run by greedy bastards precludes our input, or any would be equal profit on the part of the general populace. A Socialized economy keeps the government in check where money and taxes are concerned alot more than a capitalistic one does.

[Fuchsia]

Ok, so I'm not a huge fan of socialism, but now that u mention it, I think it could be better enacted on a state level, rather than federal. My current concern with socialism is the current administration's bills that I have read that seem like a step toward fascism. I still believe that change should begin with Dr. Paul because he would "rapture", if you will, all the corrupt and useless agendas. Then a democratic president could instate "for-the-people" socialist practices.

[4ourthofjuly]

i think by "backwards", most on the left mean that the sun set on laisez faire capitalism. Just imagine how much the world has changed since Smith publishes WoN.

[Fuchsia]

I guess Im a moderate when it comes to laissez faire versus socialism. I need to do more research on pre-welfare America though. The only problem Im sure of is that in the early 1900s all the joblessness and depression was caused by the Federal Reserve (which can be eradicated by Dems or Repubs, but someone PLEASE do it!). I wouldnt mind a system with government dependence so much if there werent an institution that manipulates it.

[4ourthofjuly]

i agree wholeheartedly. im one of those few leftists who appreciates the power of the market. Ive been suspicious of the fed since i was a teenager.

its about as silly as yhwh.

[gyuri2u]

kucinich is the LAST hope for americans to reverse what's been done to us in the past 7 years. On the scale from 0 to 10, kucinich is at least an 8. (Ron Paul is a 4. and ALL the others are 0!!!!) So let's not be stupid again and vote AND vote for this smart little guy.........

[Methadone4Life]

So good to hear a TRUTHFUL politician. Quite simply,Dennis is the ONLY choice this election season. Please give him your support and spread the word. He is a man of THE PEOPLE! If we have to put up with cameras everywhere we turn(especially the workplace) why shouldnt our leaders have the same thing??

[nanderson65]

Great Dennis...you got my vote

[TheGiantRobot]

I'm so glad you are answering these! It's true, evil cannot exist for long in the light. It thrives in secret places.

[ElectricPineapple79]

I like Denis. He looks like he chews gum and always has fresh breath.

[4AntiWar]

I like how Dennis Kucinich thinks, an open Government as he describes would put an end to corruption.

[DonJohnMWBD]

Awesome!  You got my vote!
