Reply #23: Again, you're not defending Kucinich

[MOB]

Apparently you don't find Kucinich to be a serious candidate because you're not even bothering to defend him. Where are all the Kucinich lovers who so strongly agree with him on everything he says?

And apparently you don't take seriously his views on Iraq either, because you're not trying to defend that stance either.

The problem is, as I've said above (try reading them) is that this view, the view that so many of us here don't seem to take seriously enough to defend, does not sufficiently respond to the complex situation in Iraq. A situation that has emboldened and entrenched real terrorist groups such as Hezbollah. And, despite this insufficiency, this is the only view that Democrats will express, and apparently *can* express.

IMO, that's wrong headed and short sighted. We piss off mainstream voters that see us as the party of Dennis Kucinich and lose races beaeuse of it. Sure, we have candidates who can and will express a more complete and accurate description of the reality on the ground. But they get shunned.

And lets go even further with this. Sure we all chuckle when Jon Stewart says that Democrats find ways to lose elections. But no one blames themselves. Might this be an example!? I think so.
