Kucinich bandwagon: goddammit, I'm on board too.

The Cheney impeachment articles are what pushed me over the edge. I really don't want DK to run the country. I don't think he has the ability to manage the Federal government or the national economy, so obviously this is a protest vote. Having said that, I am completely disgusted with the party leadership and their acquiescence in executive abuse of power and pandering to corporate imperial interests.

There are only two candidates that give a shit at all about the Constitution, DK and Ron Paul. Of those two, it seems clear that only DK has actually read the Constitution and understands what it means.

DK never met a peaceful solution he did not like. He has never caved into corporate imperial interests. He's the only one proposing a single-payer universal health care proposal. That may or may not be the best possible solution, but we ought to at least be discussing it.

So far everything the DLC-type folks have done is make us lose power. So far everything the DFA-type folks have done have made us gain power. We picked up one or two governorships in 2005. In the 2006 Senate races we picked up the wacky, left-wing states of Ohio, Montana, Virginia, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. So far, sticking with core principles while being flexible on hot-button social issues has proved the Deaniacs right. Why are we running away from that? Well, it appears that some folks would rather be secure in their positions within the party than make waves in expanding it.

Ohio votes in March. Consequently, this state which has been on the winning side in every election since joining the Union except 1960 will again have no part in choosing the nominee. Considering that, I don't think anyone can blame me for supporting Ohio's own.
