Dennis (Kucinich) the Menace

[MIMStigator]

It's time for Dennis Kucinich to get out. He takes up time from the other credible candidates and doesn't say anything Al Sharpton doesn't say BETTER. He's annoying and giving everybody the creeps.

Braun isn't as bad but still takes up VALUABLE time without offering anything.

Everyone should write these two showboaters and urge them to drop out.

[GreenArrow]

1. John Kerry, Howard Dean, and John Edwards give me the creeps

I think they should all drop out. None of them are offering ANYTHING new. All three of them irritate me. Clark doesn't give me the creeps, but he irritates me. He should get out too.

2. thank you for saying that so succinctly and

Al Sharpton is starting to do what makes him so unelectable to national office, playing the race card. I absolutely loved him up until last nites debate.

[GreenArrow]

12. Weren't Dean's comments about getting

the votes of white voters with Confederate flag covered pickups just another way of playing the race card?

What might make Sharpton unelectable is not so much that he brings up the race card, but that a sizable portion of the country still denies that there are racial problems in the US.

[RuB]

16. So your saying you don't want those folk to vote Democratic?

Dean didn't say he wanted those folk to vote for him because we need to bring the white vote back to the Democratic Party. He said they need to vote Democrat because they need health care and the like. I don't get the problem unless the hate is so deep for that crowd there can be no reconciling.

3. Kucinich

Kucinich strikes me as the only one of the bunch who is a serious human being, i.e., someone who means what he says. I think he's the only one who attempts to raise political discourse above an elementary school level. That's why he has no chance at all.

As far as I'm concerned, all the rest are complete non-entities, including Howard Dean.

7. Thank you

my sentiments as well

9. Hello!

I think he's the only one who attempts to raise political discourse above an elementary school level.

Raising political discourse? Like I did in the subject line?

[Terwilliger]

18. Ignoring the reality of issues and playing politcs is childish

grow up!

[MuseRider]

21. Same here

The others seem pretty much the same, not that I don't like a couple of them but Kucinich is talking a different game, one this party used to stand for and one I believe is still possible.

4. The election is a YEAR AWAY.

Kucinich is my guy, and frankly, if he and Sharpton weren't in the race, the other candidates would all sound like frigging Lieberman.

[Mairead]

5. Check your facts.

[leftofthedial]

6. it is time for Dean, Edwards, Lieberman, Gephardt and Clark to get out

they are taking up valuable air time and distracting the base away from its core Dmeocratic values.

Braun should get out too.

[redqueen]

11. Now THAT I can agree with. n/t

:toast:

[redqueen]

8. Right...

This is really sad. It's so early still, but the GOP controlled media has Democrats rallying to take down the two most liberal candidates for President.

Way to drag us rightward!

Lucky for us Kucitizens, he ain't droppin out. He's walked this road before. :)

Go Kooch! :7

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. Thanks for posting this. It's really going to help.

(sarcasm off)

[evil_orange_cat]

13. I agree, some should drop out

I like Kucinich and Braun as politicians, but they have no real shot of beating Bush. I think they should both leave. However, I do like Kucinich's stand on decriminalizing marijuana. I wish other politicians had the cajones to suggest such a measure.

As I see it these are the realistic candidates...

Dean
Clark
Kerry
Gephardt

I think these are the fringe candidates

Edwards
Lieberman

Sharpton doesn't have a realistic shot either, but he's funny, so he can stay. :D But Braun and Kucinich should get out and stop wasting everyone else's time.

[spindoctor]

14. You just wasted too much of my valuable time

...and now I am wasting more of it writing this reply.

[Hep]

15. Dammit, it's a FREE COUNTRY

Everyone has worked their asses off to get where they are. They're not doing any harm. Their input is important. They represent a significant portion of this country and deserve to have their voices heard until THEY decide they're done.

[buddhamama]

22. absolutely,Hep!

couldn't have said it better.

democracy is not dead, Yet.

[spindoctor]

17. It's the survivor-syndrome (sign of the times)

More and more people think they get to vote other people off.

It doesn't work that way. Not for Mr. Kucinich, not for me. You can't vote me off, but you sure can piss me off.


:nopity:

[thethinker]

19. Have you listened to what these two candidates have to say?

Dennis Kucinich is the ONLY candidate that I agree with 100%. He is right on the issues. He isn't afraid to speak his mind or the truth.

He is the only one that I am giving my money to.

What is it you like about the other candidates?

The only people that Kucinich is giving the creeps to is Republicans and this administration. He probably is annoying them every time he opens his mouth. They don't like the truth.
