1. Go Dk he is truely America's Congressman

[RoccoR5955]

2. Once again, Dennis goes to bat for WE THE PEOPLE.

A truer American Patriot like him only comes around once in a while. I am fortunate to know several.

3. But, But Dennis......

....the Military/Industrial complex is keeping your senate cohorts in the chips. If we bring the American troops home, whose gonna keep these senators living in the style they are accustomed too? Oh wait, there's always the Medical/Industrial complex. Silly me for forgetting about the insurance companies and HMO's.

4. One of these days these dunces in DC are going to wake up and listen to DK.

A large part of the Dem Party is already listening. There aren't very many politicians who are right almost all the time about everything. Who told Americans not to go into Iraq? Who didn't want to go into Afghanistan? Who saw through the bank swindle from the very beginning? Who continues to call for a single-payer health system? I've missed a dozen other occasions where DK stood almost alone for truth and was proven right.

A man of principle and integrity in Congress in this day and age, who would have thunk it?

5. Its too bad this country didn't have the sense to elect him President!

I'm beginning to have my doubts about what we have.
It's so much better than what we had but it's still
not enough.

[StarryNite]

9. My feelings exactly!

Kucinich was my candidate for the past two presidential elections.

[mtf80123]

10. He's got my support and vote going forward.

Obama has lost my support and respect today.

[raystorm7]

6. What Obama did in 100 days, DK would've done in 30 or less, and all for the right reasons =/

[happydreams]

7. I guess not all of our politicians are bought off...

K&R.

[StarryNite]

8. Yes we can!

Yes we can bring the troops home now! Oops, wrong guy.

Keep telling it like it is Dennis! You're the man!

[Peggy Day]

11. They wouldn't let him compete in the presidential election

It really upset me at the time. He is the man.

[d_b]

12. if he won

they'd just kill him.

[EnviroBat]

17. I thought that exact same thing.

Chilling...

[winyanstaz]

13. Dennis has my vote in 2012..he is the patriot we need.

Once again Dennis rises to the occasion and once again he speaks truth to power.
Thank you Dennis Kucinich for being a real man and a real American and a real patriot that cares about the American People.
Come home troops!!! We need you here!

[dotymed]

14. IF.......

If only we would get off our asses and demand that all
elections be publicly funded. No more, "the wealthiest
wins" shit! Then, people like Dennis and a host of truly
patriotic Americans could be elected to represent us and the
people could run this country. All we have to do is demand
that private money be taken out of the election process. That
should be something that all Americans, regardless of party,
should support. We have to demand that this happen, if we want
America to have any kind of chance at true Democracy. 

[ProudDad]

21. It depends...

I am a strong advocate of public financing but...

Be careful what you wish for. The devil is in the political climate and the details...

Here in Arizona, we have public financing, a weak, spineless democrat party and over the last few decades a huge influx of clueless, republican retirees moving here.

Now we have a republican, FAR right-wing, Clean Election money FUNDED, Legislature that would make Mississippi or Alabama in the 1950s proud.

After that traitor Janet Napolitano (Clean Money - rabid blue dog Dem) left us to their tender mercies and the republican Sec. of State moved into the Governor's office -- WE'RE FUCKED on EVERY LEVEL!!!!

The reason:

1) It's all but impossible to qualify for the ballot (and thereby for Clean Money) if you're not Dem or puke here in Arizona.

2) The amount of Clean Money you get is not enough unless you have the extra party machine money behind you and

3) THE ARIZONA DEMS ARE BLUE DOG COWARDS and not much better than the "center" republicans!!!!

15. you tell 'em Dennis

Ohio is smart to keep him fighting for them.

[earcandle]

16. People are stunned by Dennis, and that is ineffective.

How do people get inspired to act? Not violently, but
intelligently so that he makes a difference? 

[slay]

18. Whatever you were trying to say makes no sense. Dennis is 100% right!

Sorry you are "stunned" by the best Democrat in Congress. K&R for Dennis being right, AGAIN!

[earcandle]

24. You misunderstand me. I love Dennis Kucinich and voted for him.

[Plucketeer]

19. I sure hope Dennis runs again

I will back him with every ounce of fervor I can muster!

[mirrera]

20. k&r

[jeff30997]

22. Dammit !

His he the only one who is not crooked and/or scared shitless,insane,self-centered in this fucking
cesspool that is Washington ? :grr:

[Karenina]

23. He doesn't get it! TPTB CANNOT BRING THESE GUYS HOME!

There is NO WAY to afford the social cost of doing so. Better to keep them in a theatre, ANY THEATRE and preserve the MIC profits that roll in as a result.
