(62,325 posts)He is among the most hated Democrats and was even more so during the Bush administration. I know, I saw the hatred, on a daily basis. And sad to say, many of the attacks on him are repeated now on the left.
He scared them badly when insisted on contradicting the lies about WMDs just as anyone contradicting the lies about Iran's Nukes scares them now. Although they are confused now re Iran. They were all for it when Bush was president, now they are not sure if they should be because if this administration goes to war in Iran, what should they do then?
Situational ethics, it's difficult to know where you are supposed to stand until someone sends you the memo. That is why Dennis Kucinich is so effective when he does get a change to be heard. His convictions for the most part, remain solid, no matter who is in power.
He should become an Independent like Sanders, he sure is not appreciated by the Dem Party now, although he used to be.
He is way before his time. This country is still at the primitive stage in terms of how to achieve what is needed without killing people all over the world.
Dennis is a far more evolved human being. He would be immensely popular in one of the Northern European democracies which are way beyond the stage we are at, having gone through the caveman period long ago and learned it really isn't the way to achieve the kind of society people want to be a part of.
