All we can do now is to make a dramatic reversal of course: we must acknowledge that the continued US military presence in Iraq is counterproductive and destabilizing. We have a choice in front of us: either we change course, withdraw our troops and request that the UN move in, or we sink deeper into this occupation, with more US causalities, ever higher financial costs, and diminished security for Americans.

1. that looks like a REAL plan

That's the sanest plan I can even imagine seeing.

Regardless of whether someone supports Dennis's candidacy, they should certainly support this plan.

2. Why is it

that so many Democrats support what Dennis says, but plan to vote for someone else? These 'moderates' will be the ones screaming loudest if Democrats abandon the sanity of the Kucinich platform, leaving it to the Greens.

3. superficality I am afraid

Seriously, I want the greens back, people dont want people voting green but they feel a liberal platform wont get us votes, I can tell you as a democrat you cant just tell people to vote democrat because its a two party system. Lets give the green leaning democratic party liberals something that they dont have to vote third party for, let us give them Dennis Kucinich.

4. Admire your stance

I've followed what you say, John, and I'm generally impressed. Let's see if the Dems see sense. BTW, how was Homecoming?

5. Wow John

you hit that one right! We want a democratic agenda, we do not want conservative policy. The Republicans will probably still have the house, don't know about the senate. Where should all the compromising begin? If it starts just barely left of center we will end up with conservative policies. DK has worked with these guys, he has their respect and has a good working relationship with them. All the real conservatives will probably be happy to compromise a little, they have been left out too. The neocons will be left out in the cold this way.
The way things are going a third party may be needed because there is really not a good place for people who feel strongly about truly liberal platforms. I sure would hate to leave the democrats but if they become Bush* lite I will probably have to. Whoever gets this, if not DK, will be interesting to watch.
