Not Bad

[burythehatchet]

1. not. bad. at. all.

[sueh]

3. Terrific job, Dennis!! Love his positive attitiude!!

[burythehatchet]

8. as he said, he repesents the mainstream of America.

why can't we have the leaders we deserve?

[Little Wing]

2. Damn, I really like that guy

Down to earth.

[Ishoutandscream2]

6. Yes, how can you not like him?

What a good, smart, compassionate person. Just an awesome guy.

[MuseRider]

4. Monkeyman

thank you for posting this. I have not been able to share in seeing much for the last few months so I really rely on these kinds of posts.

Kucinich. My guy from the first time I heard him. He did a wonderful job, Bill was funny but respectful and I really enjoyed this interview. Great job Congressman!

Thanks.

[pretzel4gore]

5. wow!

a glimpse of true leadership....bill maher says he'd authorise the assassination of bin laden, but would he also take the blame if the killer(s) accidentally got a nice doctor who looked like osama instead? would bill do the hard time in (?) the pakistani prison or wherever the murder took place?
bill's glibness amounts to stupidity when x-examined...Dennis is right. Put him in jail, after fair trial etc..who the hell are we to murder people?

[klebean]

7. candid, funny, direct, smart, wow! nt

[bjobotts]

9. EGO

Sometimes Bill needs to get his ego out of the way. He tries to be funny about making war(or is he?), about assassination(or not), he's just really not as intelligent as he thinks he is unless you equate being belligerent with knowledge. Not one word about impeachment of Cheney...WHY? Love Kucinich but little guys never make it to the WH. What a shame. Everything he says is just right on excellent. I guess without some of the corporations behind you financial support is limited.

10. K & R. I saw this last night. Kucinich was GREAT!! WONDERFUL!!

The way he introduced the new meme of humility and kindness and equality, for THE WHOLE WORLD, is the meme that is really lacking in this country, and THE meme that needs to take hold at this time in world history.

In fact, I truly believe that if we all do NOT adopt this meme RIGHT NOW, that this world is going to have to eventually come to it through horrible tribulation. I'd rather do it the easy way...Dennis's way, and skip the tribulation part.

War is barbaric, for both sides of any war, and is unenlightened, immature, and basically ignorant. Adults need to be able to come to reconcilliation of their differences by some means other than killing each other. Laws, especially international laws, need to be enforced, and need to apply to EVERY PERSON, whether they are the leader of a country or not. In fact, ESPECIALLY if they are the leader of a country.

Just laws are what gives order and support to societies, and the fair enforcement of those laws give every member of a society (and the world) a framework to live by, taking away any threats to their creative expression. Laws that are easy to obey, and laws that make sense for the ordering of societies of people, give rise to productivity and peace of mind.

That is one reason I find the current repervlikin government of the US so very dangerous. They are all outlaws, and it is the "trickle down" effects that are making the entire country less stable.

Kucinich showed the way, and I think he's a far more important candidate now than he ever was.

11. "I will be very focused as president" ... " I bet you will!"

The last 15 seconds were hilarious!

:rofl:

[pberq]

12. Great to see Dennis.

Let's enjoy it while we can, folks.

[Desertrose]

13. This was great! Dennis is so relaxed...

I love it. Nice to let the rest of the people see what a great guy DK is and also his sanity of where the US needs to go from here.



Thanks for this great post Monkeyman.:)

[lovuian]

14. Woohoo Dennis

:woohoo:

[cyclezealot]

15. and I think he will do well on the

Colbert show also.

[BrklynLiberal]

16. I am an Edwards supporter, but I sure was impressed by Dennis. I sure wish he had a chance.

He would be a great president.

[emlev]

17. Yay!

[Pierzin]

18. OMG. He makes so much sense, it's unbeleivable

Decrminalize marijuana? But marijuana is a gateway drug! ha! why:crazy: :silly: :crazy: that's un-American crazy commie socialist talk! The right wingers are gonna go crazy.

But really. He makes so much sense. Americans are the most bamboozled society in the world. Why do we have cars that are not more efficient than they were 20 years ago? The mass media, the GOP, whatever tricked us into an election in 2004 that was so close that they managed to steal it from John Kerry thanks to the Ohio fiasco.
Why do we pay more than 2x more for medicine here than any other industrialized country? Why do we work more for less? Why is Bushco running up a huge deficit and the mass media says nothing about it? Remember back in 1992? The deficit was all over the news, everyday, just like Monica Lewinsky was during Clintons second term.
I only shudder to think how large it is now, yet there is not a peep about it in the media.
And there should nationwide protests to impeach this warmongering blood sucking vampire Bush and the Dark Lord for misleading us into war. I wish I had HBO so I could have seen the whole segment, but somehow the impeachment thing did not get brought up.

19. Excellent appearance by Dennis

Relaxed and funny. He is handling this race much different than he did in '04.

[knitter4democracy]

20. Geeky cute. Super smart. Very polished.

Hmmm. Why isn't he considered a contender, then?

When we lived in Cleveland, we heard the stories of how he stood up to big business and then was ripped apart. He was our congressman, and he was well-loved. He's a very good leader.

[sellitman]

21. Dennis is just as nice close up.

I was privileged to meet him in a fairly closed environment and he is witty, intelligent and spot on with his platform.

America and the world would benefit from a Kucinich Presidency.

[mikelgb]

22. !!

[Ninja Jordan]

23. This guy is ridiculously out there. He wouldn't order an assassination of bin Laden?

Good luck at getting above 1% in the polls.

[pretzel4gore]

24. according to the polls, Dennis is the ONLY mainstream candidate!

Dennis Kucinich says what the majority of voters think: end the idiot Iraq war asap, put away the 'war on drugs' legalise mara-juwannna (so tobacco farmers can grown hemp instead of cancer sticks-my editorial comment) and get the military under reasonable control....yes, it be revolutionary, but that's what is needed....it's the pro war 'biz as usual' crowd who are pandering to special interests, and defying the popular will.

[Ninja Jordan]

27. According to the polls, huh? What do the polls say about taking out bin Laden?

The more I hear from him, the less 'mainstream' he seems.


P.S. marijuana causes cancer too.

[elf]

29. This country deserves..............

what they voted for.....................bad for the whole world, bad for all Democratic voters............................wake up Amerika........OK, they just start to see the truth.............but what are the Democratic politicians doing........it drives me crazy!!!

[Forkboy]

30. lol

:crazy:

[lfairban]

34. Let me say this about that . . .

Marijuana Compound May Fight Lung Cancer

[bleever]

25. God damn I like that Dennis Kucinich.

Solid.

Thanks, Monkeyman!

[progressoid]

26. Too bad he won't get out of single digits

[MaggieSwanson]

28. He will if people vote for him.

;-)

[Norrin Radd]

31. I'd vote for him. n/t

[LWolf]

He always seeks to keep the discussion focused on core issues.

[ClassWarrior]

35. Beautiful.
