"The Ballad of Dennis Kucinich"

Cleveland, 1978
Money-hungry ploys
devised to intimidate the city's Mayor-boy.
"Hand over that power company now
or we'll bankrupt your town!"
Well only a coward would cave into cynics
and Dennis Kucinich did never back down
Dennis Kucinich did never back down.

Washington, post 9-11
The President deceives
us into a war for oil with no intent to leave.
But there was one, a giant among
the few who stood their ground.
"Well, I won't believe you no matter how you spin it,"
said Dennis Kucinich who never backs down
Dennis Kucinich would never back down.

"First they ignore you,
then they ridicule you,
finally they fight you,
and then you win..."

America, 2008
What are we to choose?
Four more years of blood and hate,
the earth's destruction too?
Well I'm voting for peace to make poverty cease
there's enough wealth to go around.
Well I'm not gonna stop not even for a minute
for Dennis Kucinich I'll never back down
for Dennis Kucinich I will never back down
for Dennis Kucinich we will never back down...

Nice pictures of Dennis when he was younger. He is one of the few politicians I can honestly respect. He is coming from humanity within a pack of wolves and vipers. If Washington DC had a hundred Dennis Kuciniches the rest of them would get their day in court in the long over due Nuremburg like trial of war profiteers and those guilty of crimes against humanity and nation who took away our nation and sold us to hell.

Thanks for the nice comments. I totally agree with your opinion of Dennis. He's the only (yes, sadly—ONLY) person in Washington with integrity who votes on principle and ALWAYS with the American people in mind. Let's hope he makes a run for the Presidency in 2012, if at least to challenge the policies of the status quo in Washington, and let more people know that they can vote with their best interested in mind, NOT in the interests of the greedy corporations. Thanks again, Wiscokiddd!

Even Kucinich is now screening out negative comments from his official youtube videos. That makes him, Hillary, and Obama I've noticed so for. The other two didn't surprise me, him doing it is really a shock. I haven't noticed ANY of the Republicans doing that. See or try it for yourself.

[alhidalgo1]

So what negative comments were you posting at Dennis' official youtube site? Please post them here (although the one above is a "good start"). Really, I'd LOVE to hear what you, Ivorygate, have to say?

And you haven't "noticed" ANY of the Republicans doing that? Well, try posting a negative comment there and see what happens. Unless of course you're a Republican yourself, which leads me to be believe that you're simply trying to trash Dennis here on my page.

VERY WELL DONE!!!!!

"First they ignore you,

then they ridicule you,

finally they fight you,

and then you win..."

Thanks for the kind comments.

With all modesty, I proudly lifted that quote from Gandhi, so I can't take credit for the beautiful words (which is why I transcribed it with quotation marks), but it is an absolutely perfect bridge for Dennis' ballad. Let's all of us NEVER back down, because the campaign is finally at the "fight you" stage (exclusion from televised debates, marginalization by the MSM, etc.), so it will NOT be long before we and Dennis win!

Republican candidates don't know how to get on the inter-web.

It is time for a Kucinich type presidency, and Dennis is ready, willing, and quite capable.

We have been silent TOO long! WE MUST SPEAK UP, LOUD AND CLEAR! The media isn't just "part of the problem" they ARE the problem! They are attempting to silence the ONE TRUE VOICE of freedom and CHANGE~~!!

WE THE PEOPLE -- use your voice, USE YOUR VOTE! Vote your conscience -- NOT who the media tells you "is going to win"!

As we approach the birthday of MLK, Jr. I am reminded of his words:

"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people." ~~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ~~
