1. I love him, too -- and although I know he sincerely believes in this, sometimes
I become concerned that he may be dismissed as kind of a constant complainer. Kind of like Nader.

19. That is exactly what popped in my head
after his recent outburst. I can't even begin to imagine what he thought he was accomplishing.

26. Good point
Tis the season for politicians to say or do something that will get them news coverage. Poor Charlie Sheen is having a hard time getting any attention!

Edited on Mon Mar-21-11 11:47 PM by Maat
illegal and unconstitutional behavior.

How dare Congress, an EQUAL branch to the executive branch, dare question his actions?

5. Leave Dennis alone. Who else is standing up for working people?
Has Dennis: Cheated on his wife?
Supported Big Oil?
Supported Big Insurance?
Supported Wall Street?

Has Dennis made ONE bad call on any issue?

Since you asked.

7. From wikipedia...
"Despite Kucinich's committed opposition to the war in Iraq, in the days after the September 11, 2001 attacks he did vote to authorize President Bush broad war making powers,<52> the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists. The Authorization was used by the Bush Administration in its justification for suspension of habeas corpus in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and its wiretapping of American citizens under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Kucinich voted along with 419 of his House colleagues in favor of this resolution, while only one Congresswoman opposed, Representative Barbara Lee."

You asked for one...

18. Dennis supported the New Health Care Law that has been...
Characterized as nothing but a giveaway to the insurance & drug companies here on DU in countless Greatest Threads hit pieces...Well, that is ONLY, I REPEAT ONLY, if President Obama name is attached to it! Everyone else like Nancy & Dennis have not had one complaint filed against them when it comes to HCR. I have yet to figure this out.

Do you have any answers?

11. Seriously. Multiple threads started just to ridicule him. He's the ONLY presidential candidate
Edited on Tue Mar-22-11 12:17 AM by cui bono
that would have actually given up the power grab that GWB did. And he wouldn't have continued the illegal wire tapping of innocent people. etc... etc... etc...

He and Bernie Sanders understand what it means to side with the people time and time again.

So what if he says a few things people might take issue with? Who doesn't. But really, why are people so threatened by him that they must start threads just to put him down?

14. Yep, those who are correct are often lonely and abused.
Because it's easier to grab a plastic made-in-China flag and shout "yay for spreading freedom!" while watching the boom boom on the boob tube.

17. He pointed out a simple point of constitutional law.
And he gets accused of trying to single-handedly pull off a coup.

Other Democrats have made the same point the last couple of days, but they're not the lightning rods.

25. lets not forget he has morphed that into a fundraiser attempt
where he is more or less saying that 'If you support Obama over me, then you don't really care about the constitution'
