I can see why Dennis Kucinich praised Ronald Reagan.

I remember when I was a kid there was some sort of summit between Ronald Reagan and whoever the Soviet premiere was at the time...I can't remember because there was that period where they went through two of them in a short time and all. Anyways, what I remember is that they didn't achieve much, but one of the things that they could agree on was that if some other planet attacked Earth, that the United States and Soviet Union would band together to fight the invaders from outer space.

You might think that because I was a kid, I thought that this was cool (I was a huge fan of Star Blazers with its story lines about the Gamelans and the Comet Empire), but I actually thought it was silly and ridiculous at the time. But that is because I didn't know what Dennis knew: we really are not alone. The boy mayor had a close encounter of the third kind, and may have been told that while the beings which contacted him were friendly, that there may have been other, hostile beings in this immense universe of ours. He might have even been the one who told Reagan.

Let's just remember: the government guys sometimes know a lot more than we do, so we can't take their actions at face value. They might be doing some very wise things that we cannot yet comprehend.

With that, let us look at these comments in a new light. With the appreciation that one forward thinker has for another forward thinker.

him out to be. Check out his past. He's a very rabid conservative.

rabid?

do tell....

show me his past

Though, I wouldn't say rabid.

like abortion before he was pro-choice for one.

Look it up for yourself.

Dennis' transformation on this issue is not unlike my own. I have head this before and it is laughable that people still bring this up.

safe legal rare

Does that make both of them rabid conservatives also?

... other than to tell you that you need some help.

'help' is bullshit. He was very conservative at one time. That's why I don't trust him now (except on the war.

White House. Meaning zilch, zero, nada, nihil, ZIP.

DU should be made aware of this.

He's using right wing talking points and doesn't spit on Reagan's grave!

That's a true statement, but my experience has been that for every wise thing we cannot comprehend, there are 100 wicked things we are not supposed to know about.

The stench of desperation is nearly overpowering...

Either he meant it or he didn't. If he didn't mean it then he lied. He could have said nothing, he chose to praise him and went out of his way to do it.

Desperation indeed.

cause he'd just frickin died!

You really are very desperate...the difference is that when you are that desperate, you tend to pull things out of thin air that make no sense.

Man...pathetic.

So my point still stands unrefuted by you...either he lied or he told the truth...which is it?

no really, it does.


All you succeed in doing is making DK's name more visible. Thx. :)

He just doesn't know it yet.

or haven't you heard?

And even if you can find quotes of them saying positive things about Reagan, it doesn't count.

:eyes:

the DLC's policies are killing us, and there is no defense for them. That's why their advocates are desperately resorting to unfunny snark. It's the only weapon they have left.

The mass media may convince the typical unreflective voter that Hillary or Obama will bring "change," but the DLCers are advocates of "yuppie politics (coddling the rich while being liberal on lifestyle issues)," and they know that the kind of change advocated by Kucinich, and to a lesser extent by Edwards, would mean no more contributions from Rupert Murdoch or GE.

Hence the desperation.

Almost as good as DOOGA DOOGA!
