2. I just hope I get to vote for him...
I'm sick and tired of a handful of people in Iowa & New Hampshire determining who the rest of us will get to vote for in the primary & general election. Nothing against the good people of either state, but the leadoff spot for the primary season should, in my humble opinion, rotate so that other states, large and small, can impact the future of the nation as well.

I firmly believe that if it were California and Vermont instead of Iowa and New Hampshire, Dennis Kucinich would have a very realistic chance of winning the nomination, or at the least making people think about what they are doing. We're supposed to be DEMOCRATS, and while the rank and file are overwhelming against the invasion/occupation of Iraq, FOR impeachment of the Chimp & vice-Chimp, FOR universal health care, and FOR an enlightened pro-active approach to combat the coming natural disasters associated with global warming, the so-called "leadership" in Washington has done JACK SQUAT other than give Chimp, his generals, big oil, and big pharma EVERYTHING they want. A few brave souls (Kucinich, Sheila Jackson Lee, Bernie Sanders, etc) fight the good fight and promote the ideals and convictions of ACTUAL DEMOCRATS! (Gee, novel idea).

Please please please hang in there, Dennis. Those of us in the deep blue parts of America are counting on you.

22. If my aunt had balls ...
she'd be my uncle. ;-)

Good point though, hadn't really pondered that, and I know everything in Cali is 10x more than just about anywhere else (other than NYC or Hawaii).

3. Help America hear from a real democrat
Help America hear from a real democrat
It's happening again ... They're excluding Dennis Kucinich from tomorrow's debate!

ABC News announced today that Dennis Kucinich will not be allowed to participate in tomorrow's nationally televised debate from St. Anselm College in New Hampshire.

The Democratic Debate tomorrow is about figuring out what real Democrats care about. Real Democrats want to vote for someone who:

- has opposed the Iraq War from the beginning
- has defended the Constitution from the Bush Administration
- will give our country single payer not-for-profit health care.

Mainstream America needs to hear about the one real Democrat -
Dennis Kucinich.

Tomorrow, during the debate, we want to air a message from Dennis Kucinich as a paid advertisement. To do that, we need your support to purchase an advertisement during the debate.

contribute $25, $50, $100, or any amount you can so we can air this commercial during Saturday's Debate.

Together, we can overcome the media blockade.

Together, we can let mainstream America hear the message of the one real Democrat Dennis Kucinich.

Peace through Strength
The Kucinich Campaign

PS. You can tune in to the debate tomorrow at 7pm EST (see local listings) on ABC News for the debate to see Dennis' message.

10. of course
because I don't need to attack fellow democrats and say they're not "Real democrats" to try to score bonus points with the Greener-Than-Thou contingent.

kucinich's divisive tactics are disgusting.

13. Kucinich isn't the divisive one.
Those who were elected on a promise of change who never the less go along with Bush and the status quo are the divisive ones. Those who have supported an illegal war of aggression based on lies are the divisive ones.

16. Right
saying, "anyone who doesn't vote for me isn't a real democrat" is SO not divisive.

so far Obama is the front runner and he's been against the war for the beginning. I guess he's not a real democrat according to kooch and the kool aid kids.

neither are the majority of people who supported other candidates. you know, the MAJORITY of the democratic party who aren't "REAL DEMOCRATS" for not supporting dennis.


that kinda rhetoric reminds of some guys who said anyone who doesn't support the president aren't "REAL AMERICANS."

20. Are you saying Dennis is not a real democrat?
It was not said that anyone who doesn't vote for him isn't a real democrat and go back into the frig and put some milk into your cereal that isn't yellow next time.

19. Thank You
I had been feeling a bit frustrated and discouraged lately because of the willful ignorance and lack of information out there about Kucinich. It's an uphill battle, but bless him for trying and not giving up .:kick:

21. As Dennis is discovering, perhaps too "real"
When you're so "real" that your own party follows none of your policy prescriptions and does its best to marginalize you, then you've become quite special indeed.

Dennis should stop pretending that his ideas stand any chance in today's corporate party. Work outside the party, Dennis: look at the wonders it did for Gore.
