I supported Kucinich during the priamaries and would have loved to have had the opportunity to vote for him.
Despite being the top-ranked Presidential candidate in polls conducted by Democracy for America (DFA), Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), and one of the country's leading progressive publications, The Nation, Kucinich was not invited to participate in the debate because "It was our determination that a person working out of his home did not meet our criteria for a campaign office and full-time paid staff in Iowa," according to a statement from the newspaper's top officials, including editor Carolyn Washburn. Kucinich, Top-Rated Democrat, Excluded From Des Moines Register Debate | War Is A Crime .org
Kucinich was gaining a lot of steam, but Wall Street and other corupt powers that be did not want him to run. If you read the full story of how he was eliminated from the important debate, it clearly suggests that many had a lot to lose if Kucinich had won.
He muchh like Ron Paul doesn't eve fit in their parties sincer they are both way offf on the parties platforms. They both would be lame ducks from the get go.They neither one has any real polices just speech that appleal to everyoe i their public mob. That is what Obama is find out that you actasully have to govern ;not just amle a different speech to a different crowd every week.
Well if the choices had been between him and Ron Paul (R) or a third party candidate we'd have been winners no matter WHO would have been elected considering what awful status quo Republican and Democratic presidents we've had in the past 25 years or so and how we've seen this country go down the tubes faster and faster under them.
This time lets not make that mistake YET AGAIN.
If you voted for McCain or Obama because they were the lesser of two evils, YOU ARE TO BLAME. If you really wanted Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich or Chuck Baldwin or Ralph Nader, you should have voted for them. We ALL would have been a lot better off if you had. You can't blame me because I voted my conscience and voted for one of them-ANTI-STATUS-Quo. We all need to vote ANTI-STATUS QUO this time. Let's THINK for OURSELVES this time.Don't let the media tell you to vote for another terrible candidate
You guys who think he's better than Obama.. lol. Look, Obama's basically a Republican. I do not understand why in the world the right thinks he's a socialist.. far from. Kucinech on the other hand? Yep. He's a socialist alright.
REAL Republicans believe in Fiscal Responsibility. They are prudent spenders and don't believe in BIG GOVERNMENT, Obama is hardly has any traditional Republican values.
I'd agree he has RINO Neo-con values as the Neo-cons are war-mongers and Obama is the ULTIMATE war monger.
REAL Republicans believe in Fiscal Responsibility.
Real Republicans like Reagan, Bush I or Bush II? Real Republicans give lip service to fiscal responsibility, just like Obama does ... the proof is on the balance sheet though.
I really really wanted him to be the frontrunner for the Democrats. He was really the most moderate of the party.
But he does have a tendency to run his mouth and seem pretty nutty until he discusses things with his advisors. That sorta puts a tamper on things. Obama on the other hand comes off as polished and has his own ideas. Not saying I agree with them ... but there you have it.
