You know, I've always thought (and still do think mostly) that this guy was a wingnut but more and more I'm gaining a begrudging respect for him becuase he speaks him mind.

Don't tell me that you think of him as wing nut because of the UFO thing.
Kucinich is an incredibly smart guy and a fabulous speaker. He really cares about the average American and this country. I was very disappointed when he was knocked out of the race for POTUS, though not surprised. I don't think the chages that he would have made sat well with the powers that be.

Kucinich is awesome - too often when he speaks, you see other members of congress wander off as if he makes no sense. I think they do this as an attempt to invalidate him - other members are afraid that if the American public rallies support around him they may begin to support the idea of a politician that can not be bought. I am a registered independent and currently my states voting laws limit my rights as a voter as long I am not willing to label myself as something I am not (which technically means if I lie my voice will count for more) - hushing the middle is one thing too many elected Dems and Rep agree on.

Kucinich, Top-Rated Democrat, Excluded From Des Moines Register Debate

The highest polling Democratic Presidential candidate among the Party's progressive, grassroots, activist base, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, has been excluded from the Des Moines Register-sponsored Presidential debate here on Thursday because his Iowa field director operates from a home office rather than a rented storefront.

Kucinich poses a threat to the establishment. Most of those walking away know that he threatens their lobbyist gravy train everytime he exposes the corruption that is inherent in our politics. The man is, in a word, fearless.

"The House is not in order," said Kucinich to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), upon which Pelosi pounded her gavel.

I dont like the term wingnut. for either side....

but DK is CRAZY and a communist of the highest order.

wacky crazy hard left, to the point that he probably scares Europeans...

There is nothing normal about DK. As much as I cant stand the current president because of his ultra liberal wacky ideas, I sleep good at night knowing that Obama is president and not DK.


shudder.

Since you do not give any facts or links to back up your off the wall opinion of Congressman Kucinich, one has to assume that you are just repeating the nonsense that you have been instructed to repeat.

I haven't read any of her books but I did see it on Amazon while looking at other cool books. I'll definitely add it to my list. I can't wait for my Holiday break from school. I'll be catching up on some MUCH needed reading.

I'm a non-fiction nerd.

Looking at the site, it looks like a [expletive] good book.

How does D Sirota suggest we take it back?
There are lots of suggestions. I'll DM you about it once I get home. I'm at work.
