What's so funny 'bout peace, love and Dennis Kucinich?
Why is it that every other post I read, someone talks about how much they'd love to support Kucinich, but know he'll never win. Nobody seems to trust that anybody else will vote for the man, but if everyone voted their convictions, he'd be closer to the frontrunners right now. No?

5. The only reason he isn't in the lead
is that the MSM have shut him and his message out. In places where his message is getting across, he is going up in the polls (like New Hampshire). One thing about Dennis--he won't fold his tents after NH and IA--he'll stay on the ballot, and continue to get his message out to the people. I voted for him in 2004 and am looking forward to voting for him again.

6. Its not about us, We are not the voting public no matter how much we pretend we are.
We might vote in the little guy, but when it comes to voting for the president who in turn elects his own choices of other very high ranking positions we the people are deemed to ignorant to hold that kind of power over such a high exulted position of importance.

Sadly thats the truth, millions of dollars spent daily on candidates and for what? A very very expensive dog and pony race and For whom?

In the end the winner is not our choice and I think its now a proven fact that if they don't wish to listen to the will of the people, they simply won't.

8. I have to wonder--how many times has B*sh's height come into play in the last 7 years?
Isn't B*sh only two or three inches taller than Kucinich?

9. People get the govt they deserve - sad to say I think its true

People choose their leaders based on deep seated psychological needs that most aren't even concious of...

I don't know a living soul who is for Hillary Clinton or plans to vote for her but somehow she's decreed to be the front runner. I dunno!

11. I'll be voting for him!
He says he saw a UFO, but Bush claims God spoke to him. Why isn't the media focusing on THAT?
