Nov. 5, 2007, 12:20 p.m.Impeaching Cheney does sound like a grand idea!
Especially if they carry him off in shackless for some preliminary water sports.
I'd vote for him in a flash as far as his programme goes but as someone who tends to see "US political system" as a contradiction in terms I can't muster up great optimism that he will be the Democratic Candidate. :(
If someone can make a cogent explanation of how that could even be a possibility I would be delighted to read it.
And I mean for next year - not for some millenial future date!

Nov. 5, 2007, 12:41 p.m.Another good find jovial!
I am a big Dennis Kucinich fan. He is a lone wolf when it comes to going against the popular vote in Congress. And, he stands by what he says.
I like how Kucinich is addressing health care, the Iraq War, and impeachment of Cheney and what he has to say about these topics. I hope impeachment includes Bush at some point.
Dennis seems to be in touch with the true feelings of the American public and is willing to listen were others just speak rhetorically.
Kucinich for President and cowbowgrandpa or jovial for VP!

Nov. 5, 2007, 12:54 p.m.Hey I'm serious. It's time for the people to take back THEIR government and have true representation. Who better than some of us here on Propeller to fill government posts?
We may not know the specifics of the jobs, but we do know what the people want. The people want to be heard and not be at the mercy of big business. Big business sees people as a liability and not an asset. It is time people were treated like humans instead of a detriment to bottom line profits.
It is time for the Constitution of America to mean something again in government and not just an inconvenient piece of paper that gets in the way of ruling with an iron fist. America will not regain its standing in the world market or as a world power if We The People don't get back to some common sense governing and business practices.

Nov. 5, 2007, 1:26 p.m.In the caucus in my precinct three years ago, Brown and Kerry tied for second behind Dennis. I'd be ecstatic if we went to the polls next November and our choice was between Kucinich and Ron Paul.

Nov. 5, 2007, 1:49 p.m.Thanks Jovial for posting this timely submission.
Today is the last day to let Washington know that we want Cheney censured and thrown out of office. He's abused his power, betrayed his country, and is responsible for mayhem and bloodshed. This is "a no brainer," as Darth Cheney likes to say.
Kucinich is the only candidate that comes close to representing my views; he is also one of the few Democrats willing to stick his neck out, go over Polosi's head, and call for the impeachment of Dick Cheney.
Many of us are contacting their
representatives (not Senators) to tell them to support Kucinich's resolution to impeach Dick Cheney, H.Res. 333:
These are the toll free numbers:
800-828-0498, 800-862-5530, 800-833-6354

Nov. 5, 2007, 2:17 p.m.Benedict Arnold's "moral failure lay not in his disenchantment with the American cause" as many other officers returned to civilian life disgusted with the republican lack of virtue and angry over their failure to win a guaranteed pension from Congress.
His infamy stemmed not from his transfer of allegiance to the British side, while other Patriots chose to become Loyalists, sometimes out of principle but just as often for personal gain.
But Arnold's treachery rested in the abuse of his position of authority and trust: he would betray West Point and its garrison "and if necessary the entire American war effort" to secure his own success.
His treason was not rooted in principle or ideology; it was simply for greed and power, which he never lived down. Despised in America as a consort of "Beelzebub ... the Devil," Arnold was treated with contempt even in Britain, where he died as he lived, a man without honor.
Cheney is worse.

Nov. 5, 2007, 3:40 p.m.I wonder if Aniokly worked for Haliburton; there must be some explanation for such incredible denial. Maybe Shell oil... or the Carlyle Group... there must be some excuse for such a blatant disregard for injustice and corruption.

Nov. 5, 2007, 4:10 p.m.Dennis Kucinich is the candidate I agree with the most. But I'm afraid I'll be voting for John Edwards in the primary. Of the top tier, Edwards is the candidate I believe can pass Hillary. It all depends on Iowa and New Hampshire.
Ideally, we'd have a Gore/Kucinich ticket. Now I would vote for that in a heartbeat!

Nov. 5, 2007, 4:37 p.m.Very surprising results. But is it really reflective of who democrats want? Maybe it's a wider open race for the democratic nomination than the pollsters and media would have us believe.

Nov. 5, 2007, 4:58 p.m.The democratic party is no prize, but in comparison...one good look at what the Republican Party has done to this country (and all 50 states) in the past seven years should be enough of a deterrent to put a democrat in the white house and to give the boot to more Republican legislators.
There is no honor among these thieves.
Regardless of party affiliation, complicit loyalty to a rogue and lawless administration that has betrayed the Amerian people will be met with contempt coming next November. That's my prediction, even though I am not satisfied with the alternatives.
Our system of government is broken and it's failing to provide the representation and the choices that we need.

Nov. 5, 2007, 5:59 p.m.Judging from the votes on this story. Kucinich is quite popular. Why isn't he doing better in the polls?

Nov. 5, 2007, 6:21 p.m.So, we Californians get to lead the parade again. Maybe this will be a wakeup call for all of the timid people out there. Vote your concience!
The California primary is much earlier this time around, so maybe you Easterners will pay attention now.

Nov. 5, 2007, 7:13 p.m.I just read this on the Politico!
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) plans to take to the floor of the House Tuesday and introduce a privileged resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. The privilege approach allows him to circumvent Democratic leadership, which opposes voting on the measure.
His resolution will be met with a motion to table it. A vote against the motion will be a vote in favor of impeaching Cheney â;; as Kucinich explains over and over in this YouTube clip taken from a presidential campaign stop.
An American Research Group poll this summer found more than half of Americans support his impeachment.
Regardless, the measure is expected to fail by a wide margin
