Poll for Kucinich Supporters: What are your politics?

Poll question: Poll for Kucinich Supporters: What are your politics?

[alexwcovington]

1. Now this is just getting stupid

once more....

Seeing as how this *is* DU, how can you justify putting in the right-wing slots? Every vote for the right wing sides must therefore be the vote of a flamer....


Who are you backing BTW?

[BurtWorm]

4. Dean.

I have a solution.

[alexwcovington]

8. Good one!

:) Thanks.

[Deja Q]

26. Now now now, at least this platform isn't inflammatory! ...

Oops, it seems to have offended you - looks like I was wrong...

Hey mods!!!!!!!!!!!

Joking aside, the author was trying to be "fair and balanced". I think you're just picking for nits.

[Systematic Chaos]

2. OMG this is too rich!

It looks to me like our own polls are getting freeped!

Or are THIS MANY DU'ers actually neocons who lead secret double lives?

:evilgrin:

[deek]

3. OR

someone is playing smartass with the polls. Goodness--there was one vote for right. This means the polls are "freeped"???

c'mon.

[sleipnir]

12. I suspect the monday night drunken DU set, they're always up to no good

[BurtWorm]

14. I swear I was not drunk when I made this poll!

Out of my mind, perhaps, but not drunk. ;)

[JohnKleeb]

16. sure Burt sure

:beer: like that dontcha. mmmmmmmmmm beer
:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[BurtWorm]

17. I'd like it better if the little smileys weren't frozen.

[Zorra]

6. No, really....

I'm sure there are a lot of righties who would vote for Kucinich, and soon there will be a chapter of "Republicans for Kucinich" coming to a town near you.:beer:

[JohnKleeb]

5. Left what did you expect

Proud leftist,

[cyclezealot]

7. Don't let our enemies label us.

Of course everyone here would be considered left of center..Republicans like to label Kerry Supporters as communists,let alone the rest of us..
Labeling should be discouraged..Talk issues... Americans I suspect would be incapable of defining what liberal is.. I think we have allowed the likes of Karl Rove and all his earlier cronies to label liberals..To the average American a liberal would probably be considered someone who condones child molestation.Don't let them do that. Where do these steroptypes come from we let them castigate us with..Fight labeling. Talk issues like how rotten insurance compamies are and how monopoilies and profiteers are destroying American business. Don't let the likes of Rove define ourselves and we will come out on top...
If Americans knew in detail what DK stood for he would win in a landslide.

[BurtWorm]

10. You make some very good points.

I was trusting DUers to be a little more honest about themselves than, perhaps, I should have.

[IranianDemocrat]

9. Kucinich/Braun all the way baby!!!!!

With Kucinich's 1% and Braun's 1%, WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO NATIONAL DOMINATION!!!!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

11. how long must you say that

I would love the irony if the foot was on your shoe. Oh the irony. Yes lets trust the polls they determine a person's greatness :eyes:

[charlie]

13. He's still on his One Joke World Tour

Gleeful little shit isn't he? Probably holds the record for hit and run taunts in this forum. Also, probably the most thin-skinned -- make a crack about the General's lousy taste in ties and you'll be able to hear his keening from your back yard.

[JohnKleeb]

15. I dunno charlie but by god I wish he stop

[deek]

19. hey now

you're not being very nice

[IranianDemocrat]

28. You know what would be funny.

If all Kucinich supporters moved into the same city, so at least one city would go to Kucinich.

Hell at least he could claim "at least one city overwhelmingly voted for me."

LOL

[youngred]

30. WOW he's got TWO whole kucinich jokes

You're cracking me up man, keep em coming!

[JohnKleeb]

32. You know what would be even funnier

If your attempts at humor were funny.

[IranianDemocrat]

40. Hold on I'll think of another joke in about 15 seconds.

The same amount of time needed to count all of Kucinich's supporters in the United States.

BWAHAHAHHAHAH

[veganwitch]

41. atleast..

*self-editting*

on second thought i dont want to go there.

[youngred]

42. oh man you qwack me up

:eyes:

[Tinoire]

57. Actually my friend, I would suggest you spend a little more than 15 second

crafting your jokes.

Haste makes waste you know ;) and we wouldn't want you to miscalute the time required to count all the Kucinich supporters out there- the support is deeper than you know... :)

[tlcandie]

29. I think that is like a macro John, I never see him say anything else..

:eyes: I didn't check, but maybe he's trying to get his post count up to that 1k mark :shrug:

EDIT: No he's at 1K .. OMG he said something else .. :wow:

[Wwagsthedog]

18. Take the test if you haven't already to determine your place on the chart

This is a dupe from the Dean thread. Bring up the site then go to the second button "take the test" on the left. I found out when I took this on another thread that I'm a leftist libertarian like Nelson Mandela. It doen't seem to match up with any of the candidates. What a revelation! My thanks to whoever posted it first. Lots of fun.

[youngred]

20. What?

That chart lists all of the candidates except for Sharpton and Kucinich as authoritarian/conservatives. They may be largely moderate, but not that much!

[JohnKleeb]

21. Zack it looks weird because its done by the British

Their politics are different, its strange though. I was like -8 on both economics and social issues on political compass.

[youngred]

23. I realize that

but the point of something like this is that it can cross cultural/country boundaries as a representation of ideology.

[JohnKleeb]

25. I dunno really

but seeing how I did in that, I am an extremeist even in Britain, christ maybe I should come out and call myself a red lol.

[Paulie]

35. What do I do??????

I think Dennis Kucinich is a MODERATE. :) :) :)

[plurality]

22. Other (Anarcho-syndacalist) n/t

[veganwitch]

36. commie!!!!!!

*smootch*

[Digger]

24. Mark up another for the left

My first post...so you guys see where I stand. :hi:

[MuseRider]

27. Welcome!

[tlcandie]

31. Welcome!!

:hi:

Left here too :D

[youngred]

33. Welcome to DU

:hi: glad to have you here

[JohnKleeb]

34. Welcome

:hi:

[LWolf]

47. Welcome to DU, Digger.

:hi:

[Digger]

55. Thanks

It's been many years since I've been around people who think like I do.

My ideal ballot for '04 would be: Kucinich/Braun or Kucinich/Sharpton.

I'm really starting to like Sharpton but his Rev. title bothers me a little. I'm paranoid about theocracy.

[veganwitch]

37. other - anarcha-feminist-...

treehuggin'-vegan-nonshavin-biserious-b/witch.

kinda redundent aint it?

[JVS]

38. Well, it looks like Kucinich can appeal even to the right-wing.

Unelectable my ass!

[veganwitch]

39. an serious answer to a possibly non-serious post...

as stated before by others on this board, dennis's policies transcend a linear polar political spectrum (which is more like a circle anyway go too far on any end and you will end up on the other side). they are simply common sense. *stealing this from my boyfriend so it is ok*

my father, who is a fiscal conservative (and middling conservative on social issues) who voted for bush in 2000 likes kucinich because dennis will work to bring back the retirement age to 65, will protect workers rights, health care, and social security. my father is 54 and works (non-union) in retail; this economy is killing him in a time when he should be secure. he also is buying supplemental health insurance because the store's health insurance sucks. he is also starting to feel age discrimination in his work place, thus he is now starting to see that unions are very necessary.

dennis's fiscal policies - cancelling nafta, trimming wasteful military spending - is really what my dad likes. am in going to tell him to vote for someone else because he might not agree on his other issues? hell no.

[JVS]

44. Kucinich has plenty of good points to go around

I intend to vote for him

[veganwitch]

46. goodie!!

inflection can be hard to read on-line.

common sense will beat ideology any time!!

[JohnKleeb]

43. fuck unelectable

:D

[JVS]

45. You're darn tootin there pal!

We could pull out enelectability arguments for any of the candidates, even Bush. It's a bunch of crap.

[JohnKleeb]

48. Yea fuck it

Thats the last thing I am thinking about.

[tlcandie]

49. Someone want to check out this poll and tell me what is up here?

Thanks..

[veganwitch]

50. thats pretty nifty if you ask me!!

i know that the dc kucinich folk have been alerting people to vote on the online (unscientific) polls to boost visability.

[tlcandie]

[Tinoire]

AS LONG AS WE ARE NOTHING BUT CENTRISTS OUR PARTY WILL MERGE WITH THE REPUBLICANS IN AMERICAN POLITICS AND WE WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WINNING!!!!!!!!

Yep, gotta admire the... pig-headed determination of our beloved cement-headed Centrists.

[Tinoire]

59. Well, just in case anyone was wondering or had any doubts

card-carrying flaming pinko leftist tree-hugging granola crunching Leftist caged in by principles and marching towards greener pastures if the grass shrivels up over here. I'm too famished for real change to remain in a barren field unless the sprinklers get turned on real quick and the locusts controlled.
