    Very cool Abook.
    Thanks for posting it.
    That Kucinich dude seems real.
    I do like what I heard.
    This is actually the first time I have
    seen the man or heard what he's about.
    Now I am searching for when Letterman
    has Richard Simmons on the show.
    That is some funny stuff.

    And Dennis is so genuinely funny and quick to come up with a witty retort. That Letterman interview is now one of my favorites.

    I like Kucinich. And if the election were today then I'd probably vote for him. But to be honest it kinda bothers me, as an aspiring feminist, that his wife is less than half his age. Maybe it depends on the situation, but I've personally seen many older men just flat out take advantage of younger women. Sure, they're both adults...but doesn't it seem a little wrong to anyone else?

    I like older men. I honestly believe it's love with them. He talks about them meeting and falling in love in the Letterman interview i posted a few replies up...it appears genuine and I'm pretty intuitive. Plus, she's super smart so I don't see her falling for that. Sometimes it just happens that way...'love ain't just whose cooking smells good, it's which way the wind blows.'

    Okay, I understand someone who likes older men. But a twentysomething and a sixtysomething? It's a bit over the top for me. Honestly though, it just seems demeaning to me.

    Anyway, that reminds me about my 2nd of only two complaints I have about him. The whole "love at first sight" nonsense or even the "in love" talk of it. Maybe it's appealling and makes him more likeable or whatever but it's just silly to me. I mean, I'm all about love, but love is more than seeing someone and feeling a mutual attraction or flirting and giggling etc. I understand the appeal of romance and I understand it can be fun. But his lack of logic by marrying someone he only knew for a couple of months is a slight concern. But just a slight one.

    I can understand that. But more intuitive types sometimes just know. I'm cynical about love and stuff like that very often myself....but that's me and they may be very different.

    At my most cynical I see them taking advantage of each other. But I tend to get pretty good vibes from the Kucinich marriage. Whatever it's about I see them both participating so I'm cool with it.

    The last Howard University debate had a poll hosted by the CWBA and it came out like this:
    1. Obama,
    2. Edwards,
    3. Kucinich,
    4. Clinton,
    5. Gravel,
    6. Biden,
    7. Richardson,
    8. Dodd

    CWBA is the book and group that inspired the questions of the debate.

    "I'm a member of congress but not that kind of member of congress"

    and his genuine laugh at the end.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

  • Congressman Dennis Kucinich has just announced that he will begin holding new hearings into 9/11 beginning in September because "the Commission Final Report... never resolved certain conflicts." The acclaimed film 9/11 Press For Truth details those conflicts like no other movie has, featuring five members of the 9/11 Family Steering Committee (the small group of victim's relatives who forced the creation of the 9/11 Commission), who revealed for the first time in the movie that "70% of our questions" were not answered by the Final Report.

    In response to Kucinich's announcement, the makers of 9/11 Press For Truth are launching of a new campaign to bring about real answers for the September 11th families -- and a brand new web site at 911PressForTruth.com.

    From August 3rd - 12th, a coalition of organizations will join forces to host "Answers For 9/11 Families" week. Hundreds of Americans will come together at house parties across the country to screen 9/11 Press For Truth, telling the powerful story of the September 11th families' continuing fight for answers.

    Now, Please join the effort to encourage Congress to support Kucinich's investigation until all remaining Family Steering Committee questions are answered. Send a "Press For Truth Pack" to your Congressman and sign up today to host or attend a 9/11 Press For Truth house party in your community.

    environmental views on other candidates on the site as well

    excerpt:

    Q: Many argue that the U.S. shouldn't commit to a global greenhouse-gas reduction target that doesn't involve China and India. Do you agree, and how would you bring them to the table?

    A: First of all, as president, I'm going to let the rest of the world know that the days of America trying to be a nation above nations is over. We have to quit trying to dominate other countries, and we have to step out of our isolation and into the brotherhood and sisterhood of all people. I think the world is ready for an American president who puts the sword down, so that nations won't have to spend a tremendous amount of their resources trying to prepare for war.

    We have to be ready to take the lead, but we need to have harmony with other nations. As president, I intend to work with the leaders of China and India and other nations to promote an environmental consciousness and sustainable economies. I will use trade as a vehicle to try to raise the level of living for all people, and environmental sustainability must be the watchword. All of our trade agreements must have within them requirements for protecting the air and the water and the land of all the countries we do business with.

    If we all get start supporting him and stop worrying if he's electable he will. He'll be electable if people are bold enough to support and elect him despite what the media says.

    Exactly. Fuck these people who say it's throwing away a vote. Fuck 'em. I cannot understand for the life of me how anyone with a conscience can vote for anyone other than the one candidate they can truly support, whether that candidate is getting 3% of the vote or 93% of the vote.
  • So how did Dennis do last night in the debate? A friend of mine (who's for Obama) said he did pretty well but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
  • Bu2Bu2 Posts: 1,693
    All of them biased, of course, but when sewn all together, it sounds as though Dennis drove home his truths, and the audience roared in appreciation.

    Hillary was booed once, Obama was wooed several times, and Edwards seems to have lost his momentum. Dodd looked "like a Christmas tree" to many, I don't know how Biden or Richardson fared, and it sounds as though Gravel was not there.

    Several websites offer playbacks. I'll search them for you, if you'd like.

    Bump

    While still not seen as a serious candidate, Dennis Kucinich has been gaining momentum after winning a few online polls. By no means a legit indicator of who people will vote, these polls have done a good job of bringing attention to his campaign.

    Of course he is still viewed as a whacko, not because of his platform but because he claims to have seen a a UFO. You got to love his honesty despite the fact that it took credibility away from him.

    Part of his education policy is that everyone will receive free K-College but will have to perform two years of Public Service. I quickly searched his website but could not find anywhere that stated what this public service would entail. Does anyone know?

    Great typo in the title...:p

    Against spending on the war..good. Listening to the voters...good. Putting it to the mainstream political class...good. Cleveland...boo. Retirement problems, should be the problem of individuals not the government...why put such an important part of your life(the part you spend dying) in the governments hands? Budget problems...good. Middle class deteriation good... I'm poor, I have lived the problems...government can fix those( FUCK NO ) War bad...good. Moral highground, and defending it...good. Wealth redispribution, true and bringing the problem up...good... Education should be the problem of PARENTS, not the government, why include a bereaucrocy of waste into the system? Solid local government, why not? The smaller the better, fire police local stuff is efficient use of funds. Less arms funding and more local funding for programs to help people succeed. Dwight was wise about the military industrial complex, but the New Deal is a piece of shit, government has no business in stimulating the economy. The primacy of the Constitution was that government will not be involved, Keynes was out of order in believing that government was the solution to these problems. Chavez is not a democrat. Neither was MRK. It says your a shill and stream lining funding for big government and wasteful spending.

    That is a hot slut in the backround of that video.
