Now is it OK to not support Kucinich?

[LoZoccolo]

Poll question: Now is it OK to not support Kucinich?

[ThomCat]

1. Hmmm... Can you provide a little bit Less context?

:shrug:

[LoZoccolo]

3. Is it OK to think that he should not be the Democratic nominee?

Especially since he's considering that Ron Paul be his running mate?

[ThomCat]

5. Ah. Well now you've actually asked a question that can be answered.

I think RP is a stupid choice for a VP. But I think we'd have a president who would fight to implement some very truly liberal policies. The VP would either go along, or stand back. I doubt RP would be another Darth Cheney.

So, support him or don't. That's your choice. But I still support him.

[cboy4]

2. Why are you obsessed with people not

supporting Kucinich.

This seems to be a peculiar pattern with you.

[LoZoccolo]

4. Probably because people imply that he's completely off limits.

I'm like hello, he's running against seven other candidates, I think he knows he'll get criticism along the way.

[cboy4]

7. That's a pretty general statement. And now you're

insinuating vis-a-vis your poll that it's wrong to support a Democratic candidate.

[LoZoccolo]

8. If you want to take it that way, I cannot stop you. n/t

[cboy4]

9. That's fine. It just doesn''t seem healthy harboring so

much animosity toward a candidate based on something he hasn't done.

[rucky]

16. They only bite when you poke at them.

just like all the other candidate supporters here.

or were you expecting a hug?

[Spirit of 34]

17. Because he's a right-wing Democrat

22. I've lurked long enough to pick out the conservative Dems and DLC-types

It's not all that difficult to ascertain.

[Kucinich4America]

34. Are you calling Kucinich a right winger??

And I suppose Bernie Sanders is your idea of a neocon fascist? :rofl:

[Spirit of 34]

40. No, I'm not, actually

[Kucinich4America]

41. Ok, now I see where you're going

Sorry about that.... been a long day.

[Steepler0t]

6. Wise man say:

Reach across aisle to republican, get sticky hand.

[K Gardner]

21. Reach across aisle, or under bathroom stall?? n/t

[Iggo]

10. How many times you gonna ask this question?

You want Dk supporters to dump him. I get it. I really do.

Not gonna happen.

[LoZoccolo]

11. Not what I said. n/t

[Iggo]

12. Go make a new poll. n/t

14. He writes very cryptically about Kucinich so he can

leave the window of denial cracked just enough.

If only he knew he's not fooling anyone.

Maybe he does.

[LoZoccolo]

19. OK now I'm like really lost.

What am I trying to fool people about again? When you said that thing about "insinuating vis-a-vis your poll that it's wrong to support a Democratic candidate" I figured you'd just try to find out where you messed up in coming to that conclusion, but now that you're going around talking about me to other people, you can explain how you get from my poll to this insinuation.

I think you've insinuated that you don't think people should vote for Obama a few times, haven't you?

[cboy4]

25. You're insinutating that people should not vote for

Kucinich the same way that I *of course* insinuate that gay people should not vote for Obama because he embraced a notorious homophobe.

The difference is I admit it openly.

You insinuate cryptically.

[LoZoccolo]

26. I think my un-support of Kucinich is anything but cryptic. n/t

[cboy4]

27. That's interesting. Because when I asked you up thread,

you responded, "If you want to take it that way, I cannot stop you. n/t"

Perhaps we're making progress.

[LoZoccolo]

31. That might be because you said...

And now you're insinuating vis-a-vis your poll that it's wrong to support a Democratic candidate.

Really, if you're that lost in trying to understand what I was saying, it's not my job to give you directions. I'm not going to go back and forth trying to defend myself against some out-of-the-blue accusation that doesn't make sense; maybe if you bothered to qualify it I would. If you want my real opinion, or are confused about it, ask me, don't accuse me.

[cboy4]

32. LoZoccolo, I'm not "lost in trying to understand" what

you're saying.

I'm clever enough to read through your ambiguity. Trust me.

I'm simply cross examining you, since you refuse to just come out and say it.

Even the wording of your poll could be characterized as confusing to some who are not familiar with your MO regarding Kucinich/Paul

Come on now.

[LoZoccolo]

33. Lame. n/t

[cboy4]

37. It sure is. n/t

[slick8790]

15. Other: It was ALWAYS OK to not support Kucinich.

To each his own...

[AtomicKitten]

18. Feel free to walk about the cabin.

You are free to support or not support whomever you choose.

[DeeDeeNY]

23. If he honestly thinks he would like Paul as a running mate, then

I have to re-think my support for him. For him to even want Paul would make me question his judgment.

[bunnies]

24. Only if he chooses Paul as VP.

apparently.

[cuke]

28. IMO, it's almost mandatory to not support DK

[youthere]

35. lol!

[Kucinich4America]

36. Mandatory for WHAT, exactly?

Other than DLC membership. That's a given.

[cuke]

42. Mandatory to make a funny remark

Lighten up Francis

[rufus dog]

29. Assuming you mean for President

The answer would be yes, Paul is a horrible choice but I understand what he is trying to do. And it is O.K. not to support any candidate if you feel strong enough against him or her. And that includes people giving support to Nader when they felt that neither side was for them. (Although I am sure most people regret that decision after learning more about Gore and living with Bush) As for a lot of the ideas he promotes the answer would be no. He deserves , a great deal of credit for standing out and speaking for what he believes is correct as opposed to what he thinks it will take to get elected. I can't think of any candidate that is even close to Dennis in standing behind his beliefs and attempting to action. Some have alluded that you do not like Kucinich and truthfully I can not comprehend how anyone could hate him. If he pulls a Lieberman and runs as an independent I will then think he is a piece of shit. If he continues down the current path and tries to get the other candidates to take principled positions then I think he is great.

[Perry Logan]

30. Yes. The Ron Paul thing is a MAJOR screw-up.

[mmonk]

38. I believe you're in vogue now.

You da man. Good work.

[mmonk]

39. Of course the comment is ridiculous because it has

always been ok not to support him. And as we continue the Dennis bash fest here people ought to keep in mind he is the only presidential candidate holding a meeting on the constitution. How pathetic of him, right? What a pathetic man. You are right to bash him. The only true progressive is now too rightwing for the corpocrats. What a joke.
