8. Dennis often speaks for those of US that have a grasp of deep politics-and he impeached Cheney. K&R

11. I got to see him in person a year ago
In a relatively small setting (200 people) and he just literally blew me away.

12. Did you check out the way the crowd was responding?
Some looked absolutely flabbergasted - they've never heard a politican talk like that.

LOVED IT!

But once you do, you understand why he is such an important voice.

15. They need
to bring Dennis back and give him a primetime spot. My gosh he brought the house down. We need more Democrats with his spine in Congress.

16. How sad it is...
...when that is considered dangerous.

The fact he is marginalized to this extent is proof of the veracity of his statements.

There's no question that this man knows his Constitution and his facts and figures, but he also knows how to make a damn good, old-fashioned inspirational speech!

21. This was Fabulous--Even Better Than I Thought it Would Be
This was a very exciting and riveting speech, hitting all the important issues and telling them as the threats they are, showing a total grasp of things, building up, with references, descriptions, as the crowd started paying attention, then got more and more excited, clapping, cheering, smiling, laughing--and they all agreed with it and understood what the problems are. This is a middle-class, Midwestern understanding of the things that are killing us, and it is always popular when put this way--let's tell it! This is the same way Kucinich ended up being so popular at the MSNBC (labor union) Presidential Candidates' Debate so long ago, back when there was still a field of them, and Kucinich made many powerful statements against NAFTA and "free" trade, union-busting, flat wages, corporate corruption and excess profits, and ended up getting cheers. This is what they fear--a Midwestern populist who goes after corporations and rich people, and the rest of us who know, cheer. This was fabulous, the way people just loved it, the whole crowd.

23. OF course none of this wonderful speech will grace the airways tonight.
Obama would be well advised to watch Kucinich's 6 min speech every morning before he starts the day as our new President.

Kucinich speaks too much truth for the MSM.

for posting a reminder about his speech. You're right; it was fabulous. He rocked the house. It's a shame (and stupid, really) that they didn't have him on with a packed crowd during prime time. The crowd that was there was on their feet by the end - he was on FIRE. Oh, I love Dennis. He is the man.

edit: typo
