Well he is better looking at least.

And did you know he was half-black? Liberals love themselves a good civil rights story, and he's a pretty good writer too, even if half of it is nearly conciliatory. But he also looks damn hot in a cowboy hat.

I hear you; I'm a Kucinich fan. But in actuality we do not know what sort of Prez he might have been. I think I believe (giggle away) that he would have been whipped into some line by The Committee That Really Runs America (hat tip Ed Quillen, Salida, CO) in the same ways Obama has been. I remember years ago a big story that Mother Jones did spotlighting the most powerful people in the nation; Ones whose names most of has never heard. It truly creeped me out, and I remained creeped.
Plus, there's the thing about Kucinich and Shirley MacLaine. They are tight friends, and her strange esoteric beliefs aside, she believes, or professes to believe, that poor people are just blocking their prosperity visualizations. Fah.

Need to find yourself a little humor, their, son.

Funny post, althought I'd rather see a photo of Kucinich's WIFE next time. Yowzer!

Tho I'm not aware that Obama is the problem on health care. Seems like in fact he's the only player on the field for our team.

I'm still waiting for some members of congress to step up. Perhaps Saint Dennis will come out of his shell and start hammering the opposition?

Here's what Kucinich has been saying since 2003: universal, single-payer, not-for profit health care for every man, woman and child in the U.S. He has never changed his tune. Read these quotes. They are brilliant. And ahead of our time, apparently.

Kucinich's Cleveland district is where I grew up. I know what he's made of. He's not wishy-washy; he has a spine of steel. He has had the shit kicked out of him so many times it's not funny, and he has never caved, nor will he ever break. (Are you kidding me?)

He has made big mistakes, he has even failed professionally and faced the abyss. But he has never given up. In fact, he came back with a vengeance to the home town that rejected him: older, wiser, and even more determined. You can't get much purer an idealist than Kucinich, an of-the-people politician. He is both beloved and mocked for the same personality traits.

If he were independently wealthy, he'd be a threat (and a national hero; we love rags-to-riches guys). And yet, it's Kucinich's lack of wealth that makes him who he is. Kucinich has much more experience with life-or-death political fights than Obama does.

People can easily make fun of Kucinich because he's so What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get. He's not fake, he's totally for real. Like all eccentrics, he's an easy target. But see, as president, I believe he would have made good on the mistakes he made as mayor of Cleveland. He would figure out a way to get his way the second time around. Like Hillary, he is motivated to succeed to correct his failures, which is why I favored them both as candidates; they have a unique psychology to succeed. If that meant mowing down some dumb-ass Republicans in the process, they certainly had my blessing.

Obama has the psychology to compromise. I already know his compromises won't do me any good, and the final health care bill may not do anyone much good.

Best speech at the convention.

When I go back to Ohio , nothing against Kucinich.

I wonder how long it would take before Kucinich's supporters start calling him a corporate centrist whore once he is in the White House. Politicians may be predictable, but so are members of the Left and the Right - All or Nothing, Always.

You know, it's hard to take you seriously when you have that bluefaced avatar and come out with childish phrases like "roly poly".

Take the public option. Obama has continued to revive it, every single time some Senate or House jackass or media hack proclaims it dead. I don't see Dennis or anyone else pushing for it, in public at least. Where is everyone??? I see one lonely guy every goddamn day on my TV against the GOP-MSM-industry triumvarite.

The fact is that it is not in the WH where the public option could get stripped out. It is in the Senate, with Baucus and other corrupt faux Democrats. Explain to me how Obama gets the rap for Montana having elected this Baucus jackass? He doesn't decide what ends up on his desk to sign, despite the bully pulpet.

To get this passed, it is clear we need *pressure* in the public debate. We need pushback against the MSM narratives and GOP / industry spin. But instead folks like you are engaging in needless friendly fire, meanwhile the GOP and industry continue their onslaught.

It's not too late to fight for HEALTH CARE REFORM NOW!
