Kucinich releases statements on current events almost daily and he addresses all important issues not just the media friendly ones.

All of this available on the site.
Visually, it's not the prettiest, but as for information on the candidate it's the best. Unfortunately actual issues don't seem to be to important in this primary.

5. And not being honest
Kucinich's positions are more akin to Ralph Nader=anti-democrat. I think his presidential bid is to go for the Green Party in the General.

7. Dennis wouldn't do that
Not this year. It's too important to get Bush out and he knows it I think.

8. Kucinich's positions are more akin to the truth
Edited on Sun Dec-07-03 08:54 AM by OhioStateProgressive
which is a much better place to be


there is no chance of him running as a Green...they won't nominate him, by his own admission, he isn't a Green, and his own third party choice would be Natural Law

he is a Democrat, and if other Democrats have any sense of rightness left in them they will realize where he is at is where ALL democrats need to be

9. No kidding his views are closer to Ralph Nader.
The two men are friends. They don't agree on everything such as how best to influence the Democratic Party. Nader believes it's broken beyond all hope so he wants to destroy it and start over. Kucinich thinks it's fixable if we stop letting Democratic Candidates make mad dashes to the middle.

WHY are you so determined to make people suspicious of the most honorable candidate in this race? You've never said a single kind word about him in any post I've seen, and every time you mention his name it's to suggest he's basically up to something no good.

10. actually
Edited on Sun Dec-07-03 02:01 PM by GreenArrow
Dennis' positions are more geared towards small-d democrat first, large-D Democrat second, and that the latter should exemplify the former. That's a distinction worth considering.

11. Thanks for trying to help...
... but the discussion is about the quality of websites, not unprovable hidden agendas. Bad DLC-cop, no donut.

So may I humbly propose that DU incorporate a Kucinich slam-bot to automatically post "he's secretly a Green" and "he can't win" every time he's mentioned, so that DU's humans can stop bothering?

14. Actually....
Sometimes I'm inclined to think that poster IS a bot. LOL (Mods, I'm KIDDING here!)

Seriously, though, hit and run posts make me nuts and I can't seem to get a response to questions from this one.

6. That's really cool
I really like a candidate who has alot of informative stuff on their site. Kerry's used to but people were complaining that it was too much to read, so they shortened it up. There is still alot there, but you kind of have to hop around for it.

Anyway, since you mentioned the news part of Kucinich's site, I thought I'd share our "What would Bush Learn if he Read the Paper!"

15. That graph that you link too does not represent the actual numbers and
falsely represents the truth by insinuating that Kerry has fallen off the charts, when in fact his site is third overall.

Why link to something that gives false impressions.
