Reply #29: Kucinich is the principled choice. [View All]

I just feel like keeping this thread going since it was started by such a wanker but has turned into a nice forum for DK.

The lantern-jawed, pompadoured politicians are just scared shitless by someone like Dennis Kucinich, not that they don't hide it well behind a stonewall of indifference and condescesion. But that's exactly what I would do were I someone in power who saw an alternative that was so appealing - I'd ignore it. And so the media and the DLC ignore him despite the fact that he has gotten support in those quarters where he is known.

Dean is honestly outside of the system - no one should deny it. And that's why I support him to some extent despite the fact that he pales in comparison to DK. It doesn't take much to be outside this system at this time, and that's the problem with Dean. He will so easily be co-opted by the system, for he falls just outside its ambit. Dennis Kucinich is outside and untouchable. Such is his charm.

Such is why we will not stop supporting him even if he drops out. He quite simply represents our ideals. The Dean-bots, most of them, don't understand the concept of conviction - they ride the trend. They consider Clark, they weigh the costs, the benefits, they crunch the numbers, much like Republicans, losing their souls in the process, etc......
