It's Kucinich Time!

http://www.esquire.com/features/kucinich1107

I LOVE how this article starts!

"The pure products of America go crazy," wrote William Carlos Williams -- antipoet of "the thing itself" -- but Dr. Williams was from north Jersey, and as far as I know never strayed to Cleveland, whose own pure products long have been flame tempered, union made, and born batshit insane. So when I tell you that Dennis Kucinich is first of all a sane, sane man, and secondly, fit to be president -- and thirdly: It's Kucinich time, now, because what this blue-balled, war-thwacked nation needs is not another scleroid corporate whore but a sixty-one-year-old vegan peacemonger, poor beyond corruption and honest as spit, hauling balls big enough to both choke Dick Cheney and keep a smile like a woozy kitten's on the love-lit face of a twenty-nine-year-old heartthrob wife; and if not now, when? and if not Dennis, who? -- when I tell you this hand over heart and cheek untongued, then it behooves me also to say that I am a son of the same crooked flaming river, Cleveland-born and -bred and unashamed..."

and this story:


"...When I was in a room with the lead banker in Cleveland on December 15, 1978, and he was telling me that I had to sell the city-owned electric system, suddenly I was transported back in time and space to this little boy listening to and watching his parents count the pennies to pay the utility bill" -- and here Kucinich's voice softens -- "I was sitting there with this banker, and I could hear the pennies dropping again -- click...click...click..."

Then he reaches back and hurls the four-seamer, up and in.

"And because I remembered where I came from, I said no to the sale. I can't be bullied, I can't be bossed, I can't be intimidated, and I can't be tricked. I'm there on behalf of your families -- I'm there on behalf of your jobs. I'm there -- the same person who as a child listened to his parents count the pennies at the table -- "

Shouting now, Kucinich pumps his right fist up and down as the crowd cheers.

"Mom and Dad! I'm there for all the mothers and fathers who are worried about what they're paying, who are worried about their jobs, who want to make sure that they can claim that this country still belongs to working people, still belongs to the people, and there's someone who will stand for that principle."

and the paragraph:


"Because they know I'm there for them. Because I think it's appropriate for people to know, first of all, what I'm capable of doing, to show them what I'm capable of doing. Once I've shown them what I've done, shown them what I know, shown them what I'm capable of doing, and go and do it, then their decision becomes easy. I close the sale by delivering on what I said -- and nobody else can or will do that."



Great article - SEVEN PAGES on Kucinich??? :wow:

Almost makes a person believe in the myth that has become American Democracy!!!




Support Dennis Kucinich TODAY!

that mistake on the lake(Cleveland).

Nah, I'm voting for Hillary.

Kucinich doesnt have a chance for the Democratic nomination, much less being President.

answered by his wife on a topic that I am sure they have never discussed

so stop repeating that crap.

:(

and man am i sorry for posting this

Show me where it was said he wants Ron Paul for VP!

That's a fucking lie.

-Hoot

and will continue to do so.

:hi:

Pure and simple.

Like that will ever happen.

Vote for the guy. He wouldn't win a single state. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but that is the way things are out in the real world. Look around. Take off the blinders. WHERE is his support? WHERE???

Screw the Democratic powerbrokers. Screw the Leadership who won't live up to their oath of office.

Dennis won't be for the status quo. Period.

Go Dennis! :woohoo:

Choose Peace!

if only everyone would read it.

Weird- I wrote my subject line before reading the article. And it's in the article. Yikes.


You can't fault him. He stands for the principals this country is founded on. In every way, he is what this country needs.

The fallacy is that the corporations have the power to take us where we need to go. The truth is they won't. And the truth is, we are the corporations. We make their power. The media doesn't want Dennis because he threatens their security.

So what is it? Our wellbeing or theirs?

If we elect the status quo, we will not get what we the people need. We won't get affordable health care. We won't get fair elections. We won't get an honestly distributed media. We won't get real election campaign reform.

And what will it cost us if we do? And what will it cost us if we don't? If we do, the rich have to pay their fare. If we don't, we get more debt and poverty and sickness.

I may regret saying something so weak sounding, but I'd entrust my life to Dennis Kucinich. He's that trustworthy. And I would not say that about even some of my closest acquaintances.

He is absolutely trustworthy & stands for everything I believe in. We couldn't do better than Dennis Kucinich. He's the only one who will work for 'we the people'!

7 LONG pages!
