You can leave a response or trackback from your own site.
To all of you saying that we need to vote for someone "electable", my response is two-fold:
a) Do you REALLY believe in Democracy? Are you willing to wake up one day and find out that Media Moguls have decided on a VERY short list of candidates that you're ALLOWED to vote for? ("Allowing too many names on the ballot is just a waste of taxpayers' money, so - in the public's interest - we've whittled it down to those who actually stand a REASONABLE CHANCE [in OUR opinion] of winning.")
b) (This has been said time and time and time...) If everybody who said "I like Dennis, BUT..." would go out and speak to 3 people who haven't heard of him, point out web-sites, YouTube videos, in which they can hear him speak (because the MSM ISN'T doing too good a job of informing), I bet that AT LEAST one (and possibly two) of those three will be convinced by his integrity. Then when THEY say "Well, I LIKE him, BUT...", you ask them to speak to 3 people...
Love and Peace (in our lifetime),

If you people are sensitive to the feelings and rights of gays that suffer abusive treatment, then you should have some respect for short people. Like fat people, extremely skinny people, people with disabilities and gays, short people take a lot of abuse in this world. Short people are victims to all kinds of discrimination. With all the short jokes going around at Dennis Kucinich's expense, which are intended to give the unfair and ignorant notion that a person's short stature equals inability to perform a job that DOES NOT require one to be of common, or super-sized height, the sources are as guilty as anybody that refuses to hire a homosexual because of their orientation. Maybe, it's time we short people started filing legal suits to end this wide-spread bigotry and the problems it causes us in our lives at home, at school and at work. Don't bully if you don't like being bullied.
I just accessed it, and it turns out to be a scumbag production trying desperately to discredit him. Some pearls of "0bjectivity" (that's a zero, not an o, at the beginning of that word) include criticising him:
a) for being short (absolutely essential: it made the first line!)
b) for growing up poor. (As far as MY information goes, his family "moved constantly, cramming 7 kids into 2 bedroom apartments or even, at times, a car parked outside the steel mill where his dad worked" BECAUSE they couldn't AFFORD to own, and "moved constantly" because the old home proved too small for the growing family.) I suppose this makes him much less worthy as a President than - for example - lap-of-luxury Hillary???
c) for the fact that he "was known mostly for scrapping with established politicians, banks and just about everybody else." Just the sort of fighting spirit I'd like to see in a President (depends on WHO he's fighting and on WHOSE behalf). Funny how they don't explain that the banks tried to BLACKMAIL HIM into selling the city electric company to concerns in which THEY (the banks) had financial interests...
d) Oh, yes: the "flip-flopping". I always assumed that this meant that one changes one's mind back and forth. The only example I read was on the abortion issue. He used to vote against pro-Choice (catholic upbringing), now he's adamantly pro-Choice. According to the site, because his earlier convictions "became politically inconvenient". No such thing as a change of heart, hmmmn? I wish my mother would flip that flop.
e) This one isn't a pearl: it's a DIAMOND! Dennis "was so unpopular that he wore a bulletproof vest". They don't mention that there was a Mafia contract out on him over the electric company business. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20sRFPAbDQw
Spin, spin, spin! Spin 'til you get dizzy and fall over...
This is very disappointing.
http://www.realchange.org/kucinich.htm
We have been living a predominately fear-based world. Fear has been the force behind the abuse of power that has been used by both government and organized religion to control people by promoting fear through the belief in separation and alienation. This has been the cause of all war, pain, hunger and dispair.
Bush used the term 'axis of evil' to demonize certain groups of people. This is a pure expression of this distorted view of the world. The only 'axis of evil' is fear and what it promotes, and nothing else.
However the good news is that we are becoming aware that the Truth is that the Love (beginning with Love of onesself) is the only thing that matters. Once this is realized, everything else falls into to place. This is an experience within every person's reach. As more and more people become more aware of this, the world is transforming. Dennis Kucinich embodies this awareness.
A true leader should embody the highest aspirations of the people that are represented. The fact that he is a candidate is of tremendous significance. To elect him president would be an expression of America as a civilized nation.
It's business as usual for many to make the
main topic for consideration their own need to
be self serving and/or narcissistic/whimsical in
need of absolute freedom to choose. Kucinich is the answer to slaying the corporate villians, however I pray to God that the narrow minded among us won't bring just the right straw to break our patriotic friend's back.
Eric Blair
To me, the courage to speak openly about human love in the same sentence as gay rights shows real presidential fortitude.
So which issues do you look at most importantly? No candidate can be expected to agree with each of us on all the issues, but how is Kucinich wrong on the issues that you hold to be most important?
Here are my important issues:
Kucinich was the first candidate to oppose Iraq and have the good judgement and level thinking to stand against it when 9/11 hysteria was giving in to Bush: right on that.
Kucinich is the only one for not-for-profit health care for all: right on that.
Kucinich is the only one for a Department of Peace to begin the education process away from war and violence as a way of solving both international and domestic issues: right on that one too.
Kucinich is the only candidate who says it is wrong to use war as an instrument of foreign policy (this ie probably over the heads of the other candidates): and he is right on that issue.
Kucinich openly oposes nuclear weapons and argues for disarmament: right again.
Kucinich is the only candidate who is unequivocal about reparations for slavery: right on that one.
Kucinich is the only candidate against land mines, cluster bombs, and uranium muntions: right on that one again.
Kucinich is the candidate who says on his first day in office he will get out of NAFTA and WTO, and join the international criminal court: right again.
Kucinich is against the death penalty: right on that too.
Kucinich is the only candidate who says that every American should have the right and opportunity to go to college and he has a program to make that real: right once more.
Kucinich is the only candidate I've heard say that the war on terror is fake and that we should hunt down so-called "terrorists" as the criminals that they are and not aggrandiize them by calling them combatants in a "war" which is really a sham: right, right, right.
Kucinich being for equal marriage rights seems to be just one issue among the great many issues that he is right on.
I find it interesting that Kucinich is asking for the media to look into what it means that Clinton stands up in a debate and says she was "lied" to by Bush. Well, why couldn't she tell Bush was lying, I mean, his lips were moving? So far the media is giving Clinton a free pass on this question of her so-called experience. Actually, Obama is right to point out he has been in elected office more years than she or Edwards have been. Ofcourse he doesn't point out Kucinich has been in office at the city, state, and federal levels and so has the widest experience at all levels of government.
Ultimately the problem with our democracy is the two-party dictatorship that has us in its grip where the Republicans and Democrats are controlled by the plutocrats who are really just arguing how trickle down should work for the rest of us. As long as they keep us voting for electable personalities who represent the upper class we will continue to be bamboozled by the likes of the Clintons and the Bushs.
The average voter thinks he is betting on a horserace where the odds are important and the favorites are where thesmart money goes. The primary is an opportunity to support the views and positions that are important to you and which candidate best represents your views. Kucinich is a rare candidate and so he is ignored or ridculed by the eswtablishment. The last candidate who's looks were constantly riduculed was Lincoln. Kucinich has the potential to be another Lincoln, the only candidate with a spiritual vision, compassion and the life experience to lead us out of the nightmare we are in.
I'll tell ya who I'm NOT for: Richardson. Wow, did he bomb here.
Personally, I know that fear closes doors as well as minds, hope opens them. You will fear your enemies but if you make them your trusted friends we all win and are safer.
Be well and vote for a great nation.
Unelectable? C'mon...They told Norma Jean Baker to give up acting to be a secretary, they told Elvis Presley to forget about music and try truck driving, and they told Jimmy Stewart that he'd never make it in the entertainment world.
They said Seabiscuit would never race again, and they printed the headline, "Dewey Wins!"
Betcha Kucinich proves 'em all wrong, just like Marilyn, Elvis, Jimmy, Seabiscuit and Truman did.
If you never vote with your heart, then your heart can never win.
If we wanna build the kind of world we want, it's time to stop listening to "they" and start listening to our own hearts.
I am in my mid-50's, so I have a right to be cynical of politicians; I've seen them all these years. Dennis is an exception and in the spirit of Gandhi and FDR, he stands for what he believes, and is the one to make it happen (with our help). Please try to get over the fact that he's too good to be true--you don't see someone like him often, but here he is; the sincerest and most qualified. Please send him money, tell others about him, arrange a house party to introduce your friends to him, etc. Work to get him nominated. The rest will be easy! America has been waiting for this one for a long, long time. Kucinich '08
Now, I took the poll -- Kucinich scored TEN points higher than anyone else in the list for me.
And I agree, we are being told by the powers that be that he is 'unelectable'. What is being left out is -- WE ARE THE ELECTORATE. If WE decide to elect someone in a large enough number and vote for that candidate -- then that person, surprise, GETS ELECTED!
Now maybe Kucinich WON'T win the primary -- but I think it much to early to say he CAN'T win it. As has been pointed out before, we've had dark horse candidates win before. ESPECIALLY if they are perceived as being a COMPLETE change from what we have now.
No one could EVER accuse this man of being anything like the current administration.
Right now, I'll vote for him in my state's primary. If he doesn't win the nomination, I'll support whoever does.
But to knock him out of consideration -- voting for who you want in the primaries IS NOT WASTING YOUR VOTE! Remember, you're voting for who you want to nominate.
Check out this site to see how the other candidates measure up http://www.dehp.net/candidate/
His body language is also different from any of the other candidates. He was never hunched over, his expression was never stern, he looked directly at the panel and the audience, and particulary his gestures stood out as they were all very open and welcoming. He has no qualms with homosexuality and is the most willing candidate to accept our concerns as his own.
( ol' buddy ) We've had this conversation before ya know; and I jes' wanna take this opportunity to thank you for illuminating a path which is so clear, I can see right through to Eternity as I Look down that road.
Our poor Earth is being wracked by wild and crazy men, and ( as you know all too well ) WE jes' can't take it anymore; so in response to my outline, I want again to thank you for responding with such a concise and comprehensive agent as you have with Unca Denni.
You've given US all we've ASKED for in this fine fine gentleman, and after all, as YOU know, we jes' want the best for HUMANITY. In the long run, there is still a chance for this planet, so don't quit on us now, OUR new PRESIDENT hasn't had a chance to do his ( Your ) magic yet.
I shoulda known you'd send someone who'd cover ALL the bases.
GOD; YOU RULE !!
Unca Denni does TOO !!
Peace Out Brah,

"...I have to say I really do like his stand on non-heterosexual issues. However I will find it hard to vote for him because I am more then my sexuality and there are a host of other issues where Mr. Kucinich and I disagree..."
Just curious if you have taken the questionnaire mentioned before:
http://www.dehp.net/candidate/
This simple little survey should put to rest any debate as to which candidate does agree the most with the other issues you mention.
Go ahead, what do you have to lose? It will most definitly be very revealing...
To Ron - Vote for Kucinich!! We need all the help we can get, as I know you're aware of ;)
www.kucinich.us
I have to add that as an American I find it very disheartening that I am only given the choice between the democratic socialist party and theocratic republican party. I really wish the Greens, Libertarians, Natural Law Party and the Tax Payers Party had equal footing as the two major parties.
http://www.dehp.net/candidate/
I truly believe that if people in this country vote with their best interests in mind, rather than who the MSM force down their throats, then Dennis Kucinich WILL be President in 2008. I urge each of you to go to this link and answer this questionnaire. It will give you some incite as to how the issues that matter to you compare to those of all the Presidential candidates, without prejudice (and you may be very surprised by the results):
http://www.dehp.net/candidate/
Please take the time to take this survey. This is how we should vote in this country. it only makes sense. Like someone else mentioned before, this is not a beauty pageant or, for that matter, a horse race. We SHOULD NOT vote for for who we think is going to win, or for who we think is "electable" (and DAMNED be that word!). I am in no way, personally, trying to steer you away from any one candidate, whatsoever. Honestly, if your "blind taste test" result tells you that you’re more aligned to Hllary Clinton, then that is exactly who you should vote for, same as if the survey steered you toward Sam Brownback…really! BUT if it also aligns you with Dennis Kucinich, then for the love of god!...please VOTE FOR HIM! I am simply urging you to make wise choices based on your personal interests rather than what the corporate media anoints as the next President.
and to the many others that draw parallels to supporting Nadar in 2000. There is a huge difference here. Kucinich is running within the democratic party. The democratic party nearly always falls short of my hopes, so when a candidate comes along that I can fully support
I've got to do it in order to bring about the change that's needed.
I write letters to my senators and congresswoman, I try to be educated about local elections, but I feel that the best opportunity to let the democratic party know what I want is to support that candidate I like best in the primary. In the general election I will vote for the democrat, but the primary is the best chance to push for change and Kucinich is pushing for the very changes I want.

Finally Kucinich!
Even if Kucinich was the gay Christ (wait, is that redundant?), AND every lesbian, gay and transgender American voted for him, AND all the other democratic hopefuls dropped out, he would STILL have ZERO chance at winning the '08 general election. So, ask yourself, beyond that warm feeling of piety one gets from the symbolism of the gesture, what merit is there in casting a Kucinish vote?
No, REALISTICALLY, what merit is there in it?
Consider an alternative: the TBLG community COULD rally around the best of the electables and help swing the party towards him or her. We might just have the numbers to make THAT difference in the primaries.
Or, in the name of the noble underdog, we could again participate in that self-defeating, Nader-esque exercise of pious party-poopery?
Does your conscience really require the latter?
- Lauren D
Edwards is not going to do damn thing for LGBT
Gravel is perfect, but like a Stanley Kubrick film, won't be recognized until 20 years later.
Bill Richardson is like a Dad, trying to accept his gay son.
Clinton was (I think) more subtle than people realize.
Obama has been careful with his words...because he wants to remain consistant. And personally, I think that once he becomes president, he will keep his promise, create equal law in a civil union, and leave it for the church to decide the rest.
Today, this concept has been horribly skewed by big corporations and lobbyists spending ridiculous amounts of money on the candidates they want to win, and the media plays right along with them by giving the majority of airtime to those same candidates. Therefore, there are many people in this country that seem to be under the impression that this democratic race is between no one but Hillary and Obama (and maybe John Edwards). I would lay 10 to 1 odds that there are millions of people out there who have never even HEARD of Dennis Kucinich.
Interestingly enough, on an independent website that was set up as a "blind taste test" of the candidates, we can see the major error in this. The website only gives you a list of 20 or so major issues being tossed out there in this race. Same-sex rights and equality account for three of those issues by itself. All you do is choose whether you support or oppose each issue, and choose how important the issue is to you. It then compares your views with the candidates, and tells you which one falls in line the most with your way of thinking.
Hillary Clinton registered at the top of the lists of 3.6% of the people to take this survey. Barack Obama ranked at 3%. John Edwards ranked at 1.3%. Do you know what Dennis Kucinich ranked at? A whopping 53%!!! Not a single one of the other candidates, Democrat or Republican, made it to double digits. Kucinich is definitely the clear winner when ONLY the issues are made a factor.
The election process is messed up enough already because of shady outside influence. Please do not make it more shady by trying to manipulate the system as some have suggested (i.e. only voting for someone because you feel they are "electable" and not because they are the one that holds with most of your views). Remember, people, an election is really an extremely, almost painfully simple concept. Everyone votes for who they think is best, and the majority wins. If you think, as I do, that Dennis Kucinich has the best moral, ethical, and loving standards of any of the candidates, as well as the reasoning and intelligence to introduce them into society, then for God's sake, VOTE FOR HIM!
He's really, very truly, a leader in every best sense of the word.
Up to this moment I thought that my vote would go for Obama or Clinton, and honestly, this was based on the fact that I wanted to see change, but I realize that I was getting caught up in the superficial change. Now that I see where these candidates stand on the issues, I see that it is more important to have a president that really believes in our community and can back up their support.
I see this support in Kucinich. I was very impressed with his speach, and I feel that he is being very truthful and really supports our issues, and doesnt beat around the bush like some of the other candidates.
I will from now on be keeping a better eye out for the real issues and base my vote on what really is important. So as of now my vote goes to Kucinich!
www.kucinich.us
Voting in a representative democratic form of government is not about choosing the winner. Voting is about speaking your mind and choosing the best candidate who represents your views. Until voters realize that, we will continue to get more of the same rehashing of candidates of which most of us have grown tired.
To all the voters who think Mr. Kucinich is not an "electable" candidate, I dare you to vote for him, even if in secret, maybe in some kind of voting booth if you will, provided that Mr. Kucinich represents your views better than the other candidates.
As I debated I thought about a few things:
1. I have always lived in pretty liberal states- states that historically swing blue. If I vote for the GWHNCOW (guy who has no chance of winning), I'm not helping the "bad guy" to win the election.
2. What kind of thinking is that? I mean, if we all voted for who we *really* wanted, isn't it possible that the GWHNCOW just might actually (*gasp!*) pull it off because he doesn't play the political games?
3. Even if the GWHNCOW doesn't pull it off, even if the "bad guy" wins, doesn't it still mean something that I voted for who I really wanted? Aren't I sending a message that change is needed? I know that if we all voted the way we wanted instead of how we felt we "should," it would certainly send a message.
So the question I posed to myself was this: What will it take for me to vote for the person I believe in the most and not just the person I believe has the best chance of winning? What will it take for me to do the right thing?
I watched Visible Vote '08 tonight. Well ok, I admit it- I only watched half. And I'll tell you why.
Barack was first up. And while I find him an interesting guy, I'm not sold. John Edwards was next and everything he said confirmed that he was my favorite candidate. Then came Kucinich and, let me tell you, I was blown away. Half way through his spot, I said, "I like him but there's no way he could win- he's too lefty."
Now maybe I'm overdue for my shot of Testosterone and my hormones are out of whack, but when Kucinich made his closing statement he actually caused me to shed tears. Because in that moment, I knew I had found someone that I could truly support in this race.
And I knew that I was going to do the right thing this time around.
PS: Love is a powerful thing - polls are slanted for the corporate backers like the previous poster said. I'm not falling for that - my vote and contributions are with Dennis. Love ya's!

And I knew that I was going to do the right thing this time around.
i'm going to vote for the candidate who i feel has a greater chance of improving the country and my life in the long run. if i could vote on positions alone, i'd go with Kucinich or Gravel, but there are other considerations. the rest of the country does not all think like you or me and are not as open or invite discussion the way we are. Clinton and Obama, although their positions aren't perfect, have leadership qualities that can sway public attitudes and foster international discussion. this guy just doesn't have that.
I mean people try to peg Dennis as this big leftist when it's not true I mean look at his record, look at his website. He's the ONLY candidate on both sides of the political spectrum that lists his views on over 30 different issues that don't get talked about like Animal Rights, Gun Control, African American Issues, Arab Americans issues etc. And like he said tonight he's the ONLY candidate in Congress that was against the war and 100% of the time voted against funding the war. Sure you can pull up a speech of Obama being against the war, but for the majority of the time he voted to fund the war he claimed to be against. People need to wake up and stop picking the candidates that appear all over the news, because then it's the corporations that are picking our candidates not the American people. Stop and think you see Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards everywhere on the media because they raised the most money on the Democratic side. That's what it's really all about who raised the most money.
If everyone ignores him and doesn't give him money because they "don't think he can win", then yeah. He will have no chance. Because he doesn't have the big money, and unfortunately that's what this whole campaign is about. But if we can *get his views* out there and *support* him, there could be the kind of change that this nation so desperately needs. Give him a chance - people want health care. People want peace. People want respect in the world. People want workers' rights. People claim to stand by liberty and equality. His goals are goals that people can *get behind* if only he's seen as a *viable candidate*. Help that HAPPEN, my friends.

By PHIL HOSKINS
This is a call to arms for Democrats, those of you who know our country is headed down the toilet and who hope to see a pulse in their party’s Presidential hopefuls. Hillary Clinton has unquestionably shown that she has the balls, Barrack Obama the charisma, and John Edwards the heart, but the only candidate in the race for President in 2008 that is right on the important issues of the day is Dennis Kucinich. I heartily endorse him and will vote for him.
Like many Americans, I have thought that the field of candidates on both sides of the aisle has looked dismal for a long time. The “viable” candidates fight each other to show how electable they are, raising large sums of money and avoiding all “third rail” issues like the plague. Dennis Kucinich alone has staked out clear, unequivocal and honest positions. The darling to the right, Ron Paul tries to portray himself as the candidate of liberty, but too often he is missing for key votes or passes off his bias to the states rather than make a clear stand for equality and freedom for all.
The stand by Kucinich that got my attention was his introduction of impeachment articles against V.P. Cheney, after all the hand wringing by others in his party over tactics, Dennis had the guts to stand for what is right.
Yes I am an unrepentant liberal. I am proud of that and if you had listened to me all these elections ago we wouldn’t live in the messed up world we do today. Seriously folks, you have been paying attention to frauds and charlatans. Here are the key issues that Dennis stands for:
-Creating a single-payer system of universal health care that provides full coverage for all Americans by passage of the United States National Health Insurance Act.
-The immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq; replacing them with an international security force.
-Guaranteed quality education for all; including free pre-kindergarten and college for all who want it.
-Immediate withdrawal from the World Trade Organization (WTO) and North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
-Repealing the USA PATRIOT Act.
-Fostering a world of international cooperation.
-Abolishing the death penalty.
-Environmental renewal and clean energy.
-Preventing the privatization of social security.
-Providing full social security benefits at age 65.
-Creating a cabinet-level "Department of Peace"
-Ratifying the ABM Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.
-Introducing reforms to bring about instant-runoff voting.
-Protecting a woman's right to choose while decreasing the number of abortions performed in the U.S.
-Ending the war on drugs.
-Legalizing same-sex marriage.
-Creating a balance between workers and corporations.
-Ending the H1B and L1 Visa Programs
-Restoring rural communities and family farms.
-Strengthening gun control.
-Balance Between Workers and Corporations
-Environmental Renewal and Clean Energy
-Restored Rural Communities and Family Farms.
It would be difficult to find anyone, much less a candidate for President, that is as much in line with the real needs of real people, the average, above average and under average American who has to work for a living, pay for their family’s needs, support their communities, and lend a hand for those less fortunate.
With income disparity growing to obscene levels, with more and more of us unable to afford decent healthcare, with more and more of the good jobs being sent to wherever big money wants to set up shop and rape the population, we need a leader who will speak for the citizens of this country, not for the interests of the top 1% who increasingly own and run everything.
Long ago Kucinich was elected to be the youngest mayor of a major city in the U.S. and despite huge pressures to cave in he stood for the interests of the people of Cleveland. At the time he was ridiculed for opposing the sale of a municipal electricity facility. Not until years later did people realize that he was wise beyond his years and that he was right. We need leaders who can stand up to big money, and the candidate who has shown this time and time again is Dennis Kucinich.
Instead of trying to handicap the race for President trying to figure which candidate might get past the Karl rove vote suppression juggernaut, this year show that you have the guts to vote your principles. Don’t vote for someone who is second or third best. At least not in the primary election. Don’t wuss out.
By the time the millions have been spent and either tweedle dee or tweedle dum is selected as the Democratic candidate, vote for the candidate that stands for true Democratic principles, the principles that made this nation great and grateful. Come out of the political closet and stand for progressive, liberal and honest policies.
Vote for Dennis Kucinich for President.
love. peace. revolution.

He put into words what I would want to say myself if given the forum.
He needs our help, our contributions, our promotion and our VOTES!
At this point, Obama/Kucinich '08
he's definitely got something going with his complete support of lgbt rights, view on the war in Iraq, and health care. but unfortunately, i don't think he stands much of a chance winning the election.
all the candidates seem to be going in the right direction, but clinton and obama have the best chance of winning.
That is YOUR hidden agenda!
We LGBT people are not so gullible as to accept the untenable Party Line on this issue regardless as to whether it comes out of the mouth of a slick politician or a self-appointed, so-called "leader" of the LGBT community.
Thank you
Modern day Ghandi, Jesus, Buddha. Like the Prince in the fairytale, who leads a happy and greatful nation for all time. Kucinich is the answer, You just need to be asking the right questions!
