Why Dennis Kucinich will most likely get my vote in the primaries
unless he isn't on the ballot by then and even if I'm the only one that will vote for him in the country.

Simple.

He is the only candidate that has proven and stands for putting my rights and constitutional guarantees above his own ambition and party.


Now many will respond he is pressing for impeachment for only his political ambition. If so, would someone show me the groundswell of support in his numbers? Would someone show me the party leadership support for his candidacy? Can't? Didn't think so.


Those who support not addressing the assault on our constitution are unfit for the executive branch just as those currently residing there are unfit. Sending through DOA legislation through the political process doesn't count. Impeachment is not legislation and legislation wasn't meant as a substitute for impeachment.

2. Restoring the Constitution is Priority Number One.
This election may very well prove to be Our last chance to restore Our Democracy.

5. Why do you say that?
Actually with the mess that the Republicans have left in this country, it is obvious that anybody who comes out of the Democratic nomination process will have a very good chance of winning the general election. Hell, according to the polls, the 'Pugs favorite candidate is None of the Above.

In addition, Dennis is nowhere near as contentious as Hillary is for the conservatives in this country. Put Hillary on the ballot and you will have every right winger in this country coming out to vote. Put somebody, anybody including Dennis up there, well, not so much.

Sorry, but your line of thinking simply doesn't stand up to the light of reason and facts. If Dennis gets the nod, will you vote for him?

8. I dont know why people say that either?
If Dennis and his vision on things were on a national stage because he was the nominee, there would be a landslide victory for the Dems. Well that is if the election wasn't stolen but by that time so many people would hit the streets if the guy that America was behind lost to one of the republicans that most cant stand. That stuff is just another talking point like the unelectable one that went around in the beginning. Too many people are brainwashed and have been dumbed down to really understand whats going on and those are the people that are allowing the corrupt to take over.

4. I keep going back and forth.
Wednesday I was still on board. Thursday morning, after actually hearing what he said about Ron Paul, I withdrew my support. Now I'm on the fence again. :sigh: Luckily, I still have some time as California's primary isn't until March.

7. I understand.

The bottom line for me though is action to try and stop this slide. While other candidates have fought the criminal activities by opposing and placing holds on legislation geared for more dictatorial unconstitutional powers (which I appreciate), Dennis is the only one that addresses it through the remedy granted, duty of office, and the upholding of the law.

6. YES! Restoring the constitution/abolishing the police state infrastructure...
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Note how this CRUCIAL issue is absent from mainstream "debate." Gee, wonder why....???
