Dennis Kucinich

postedby ericnguyen on May2nd,2007 tagged politics, rant

With all the Obama/Clinton poll-watching, armchair campaign strategizing, and hand-wringing over which democratic candidate is “electable,” it’s been easy for me to forget that there are people who really stand for what I believe. Dennis Kucinich articulates those beliefs with such passion and clarity that it breaks my heart, knowing that he has not one chance in hell of becoming President for the foreseeable future. But I can at least watch him go and hope for our collective future.

    Kucinich should be president. And he can be president if everyone who says they like him, they agree with him and they want him to be president will vote for him. Stop saying he doesn’t have a chance and start spreading the word about him. (And believe me, I don’t just mean you.)

    Kucinich is running a grassroots campaign – help him out. Bloggers are in a great position to do that and you’ve started that here. Keep it up. Tell people about him. Monitor other political blogs and help correct misconceptions and tell people what he stands for. The man is brilliant and he truly cares. But above all, VOTE for him.

    Thanks for the thoughts, Christy. You’re certainly doing your part to spread the word. Will he get my primary vote? We’ll see how the whole Obama/Clinton thing plays out, tactically.

    I know that’s not the answer you want to hear.

    A link from a friend:

    “The lesser-known (and generally more conservative) Republican candidates are cheered for participating in the process, and a cable commentator like Buchanan can use his perch in the media to support those candidates. Progressive voices have no similar presence in the media debate—and the Democratic candidates that most represent progressive ideals are derided for taking up the time of other, more worthy candidates.”
