A non-DK Supporter's Dennis Kucinich Appreciation Thread

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

I've never been a Kucinich supporter in practical terms, but I have always appreciated his role in the race.

If he is withdrawing, then we no longer have a serious 100% anti-war candidate, or a same-sex marriage advocate.

And those are the views of a decent sized chunk of the Party.

So he will be missed. It's a melancholy day for us all.

[More Than A Feeling]

1. Agreed. My problem with him was never his positions.

My hope is that in the future, our senators and governors will sound like him. It's up to us to make that happen. The progressive movement leads, our politicians follow, and that's how it should be in a democracy.

2. My sympathies to his supporters

I've never supported a winner in my life - I know what it's like.

He's a good guy. I hope his House race goes well.

23. Thanks, my friend! And I agree!

Dennis has been my candidate since 2003 and Bill Clinton was the first presidential candidate who I ever voted for who won...:-(

3. To Dennis Kucinich ...

Bill Braskey had nothin' on you!

5. Kucinich is a national treasure!

I hope we have a Dept. of Peace soon, and Dennis runs it.

6. He fought the good fight...

I was lucky enough to hear him speak, and to take his picture...

He will be missed...

K&R

For Dennis!

7. DK still fighting for us

Dennis is like the energizer bunny always working for justice. I have much respect for his views and actions, especially pushing impeachment of the criminals and right now trying to expose the crooked voting machines in N.H.

A tip of the hat and much continued respect from this Edwards supporter.

8. Dennis is THE man.

I have said it before, and will say it again: Dennis Kucinich represents THE best in democratic and progressive ideals.

Hold your head high, you conducted yourself with great integrity.

10. lifted that nice pic for the OP... to dress it up a little

[avaistheone1]

14. LOL, no problem. It's for a good cause.

But how did you lift it? I only know how to copy the html.

11. My personal best wishes to Dennis and Elizabeth

Whom I met at the California State Democratic Convention early in 2007. Wonderfully gracious and intelligent. By far the most consistently progressive and original-thinking candidate for President in recent memory. Keep fighting the good fight, Dennis, regardless of your role. We can always depend on you.

12. I was a hardcore supporter in '04.

I was a less dedicated supporter until just recently... I saw this coming, but it's still very sad.

On a more positive note, I'm damn glad he's still fighting for us... and for impeachment.

[southern_dem]

13. cheers

This Edwards supporter appreciates DK's hard work on the war and bringing a much needed voice to the primary. :applause:

[leftynyc]

15. Kucinich is a true believer

Not too many around and they make the rest of the field talk to the issues that are important but not getting the play they deserve. He'll be missed.

[Beaverhausen]

16. I'm sorry to see him go - but glad he will still be fighting the good fight

My condolences to his supporters.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

17. His Congressional web page...

has links to bowling, polka and kielbasa.

I double-dog dare you to not love this guy. And speaking as a Cheesehead -- I'd take Dennis as my congressman over Jim Sensenbrenner any day.

If you're ever looking to make a move, Dennis, we've got some darned fine sausage here in Milwaukee. And a polka station on the radio!

18. Best Wishes, DK - and keep fighting the good fight.

[Bluerthanblue]

19. He has the best interests of all America as a basis for his platform

and I sincerly believe his ideas will be welcomed down the road.

I admire his honesty, his tenacity, his courage, and his wisdom.

He would be the best President of all the choices.

Unfortunately, I don't believe the public, or the 'powers that be' would ever let him become president.

And that is everyones loss.

Thank you Dennis-
And thank you to all his supporters.

peace~
