Hillary likes the status quo, while Kucinich fights for a nation.
If you like Hillary, hey, more power to ya. Get out there and convince people what a great senator she's been...if you can...preferably without lying.

But, get over it and deal. When push came to shove, Kucinich was our only representative to do the right thing.

Yeah, yeah, entirely too many of you feel he fell into the gaping maw of some twisted Rovian plot by doing the right thing. Oh no, the republicans are going to pull their super secret x-ray gun out of the basement and hurt us now! If only we were wiser!!!! Screw it. This country was built on the principle of doing the right thing. And, if we can no longer do the right thing because it is not politically expedient, this is a different country, and it's a sadder one.

I don't like Hillary. She's not making any effort to change the system, she just wants to be the biggest dog in the system.

2. Did he get it done?
Any cock can crow. The proof of his effectiveness is when the hens lay eggs. How many omelets are we going to get out of Kucinich's lonely stand?

You show me Cheney impeachment HEARINGS, and I'll switch my vote to Kucinich.

You can say any damn thing you want when there isn't a chance in hell of any of it happening. But our government requires consensus and compromise. The opinions of people we despise have to be taken into account and dealt with, because all citizens are considered equal. The Republicans didn't. They only considered their own opinions, and not even all of those.

If Kucinich is only able to stand alone, no matter what wonderful things he says, he's worthless as a "leader."

3. He doesn't "stand alone" at all.
Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2007, Kucinich introduced H Res 333 as a privileged resolution.

http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/cheney

It survived an attempt to table (kill) it. It was referred to the House Judiciary

54% of Americans want Cheney impeached, and 64% of Vermonters.

H. Res. 333, Articles of Impeachment Against Dick Cheney (reintroduced on Nov. 6, 2007, as H Res 799),
is sponsored by the following Members of Congress: Jan Schakowsky, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson,
Keith Ellison, Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee, Albert Wynn, William Lacy Clay, Dennis Kucinich, Yvette Clarke,
Jim McDermott, Jim Moran, Bob Filner, Sam Farr, Robert Brady, Tammy Baldwin, Donald Payne, Steve Cohen,
Sheila Jackson Lee, Carolyn Kilpatrick, Ed Towns, Diane Watson, Danny Davis.

Please thank them and encourage them to whip their colleagues.

9. I thank every one of them.
And when they move to hold hearings on Cheney's impeachment I will vote in the primaries for Kucinich.

5. A profile in courage doesn't necessitate followers.

8. I NEVER said he lacks courage.
He is taking the outlying position and taking all the hits for it, with the sure and certain knowledge that many fools will call him a "loser." That takes guts and conviction. That takes raw courage.

IMO he's keeping us honest. I want him to have an outstanding turnout in the primaries.

But the outlying position is an uncompromising position. Which is why he can tell the truth. Which is why he will not win.

6. Dadgumit, I like your analogy!
Any cock can crow. The proof of his effectiveness is when the hens lay eggs.

I'm gonna use that.

11. How many Republicans are working for national health care?
How many people take the contempt that she puts up with? How 'within the system' is that? And how would you know what she wants-are you inside her head?

There's no other candidate who inspires vilification like this. And it's no one's fault but yours.

You know, smug in-fighting doesn't make you look any better.
