Kucinich gets extra boost in final caucus numbers

By Associated Press

(Honolulu-AP) -- A final tally of the vote in Hawaii's presidential caucuses shows also-ran candidate Dennis Kucinich did even better than previously thought.

The Ohio congressman earned 31-point-two percent of the vote in the February 24th contest, behind winner John Kerry.

Kucinich was originally reported to have 25 percent.

Kerry's numbers dipped in the final count. He earned 47-point-one percent of the vote.

The revised vote count doesn't affect the break-up of delegates. The presumptive Democratic nominee, Kerry, gets 12. Kucinich gets eight.

If the Democrats ran a clone of George Bush for President, would America notice?

Love those two clowns...VOTE FOR NADER.

Kerry is a multi-miilionaire...he can afford to weather the shitty leftist rhetoric the working man cannot.

TRAITOR TO HIS VIETNAM BROTHERS, KERRY WILL LOSE.

Agreed, Dennis is the man. He needs to be nominated at all costs. I suggest the radicals go to the Democtatic National Convetion. protest all day and night. Force Terry McAuliffe, and Clinton et all to nominate the Kooky little guy from America's armpit ie Cleveland. I can almost see a 50 state landslide for Uncle George as soon as Dennis gets nominated. I want to see gridlock in Boston 7/26-29. I want all the dreadlock wearing, unwashed freaky people to make Boston a living hell. Why not, after all Bush stole the presidency, Kerry stole the nomination, Ol Kooky doesn't have a pot to piss in and even though he avereged just a few votes more than the Micky Mouse write-ins Kooky won't even be asked to speak at the Dem's Convention/Love-in/Sedition Festival.

Naughty Naughty.

Dennis advocates universal health care as an entitlement. Your taxes will go up (way up) but you'll have the comfort of knowing that those poor pitiful homeless derelicts will now have health care. They'll also be able to get in line to see the Doc ahead of you.

Dennis wants 'free' education from kindergarten through college for everyone. Your taxes will go up (way up) to pay for this but take comfort in knowing that those poor pitiful homeless derelects will now be able to sit in a warm classroom all day rather than huddling together out on the street. Can you imagine a better use for your money?

Dennis wants to shut down NAFTA, the WTO, etc. The idea is protectionism for labor unions. You'll have to pay more for imported goods (way more) but what the heck, those union goons are big contibutors and Dennis owes them big time. It's called sucking up to special interests and he's really good at it.

To protect Americans from Terrorism, Dennis proposes abandoning Iraq and turning our defenses over to the UN. A quick phone call to Kofi should do it. Surely the UN has America's best interests at heart (don't they?).

And oh yes, he also wants to cut back on defense spending. If we can reelect him enough times then we won't have to worry about invading countries like Afghanistan and Iraq. We'll be militarily incapable or winning those wars.

With a platform like that, how could Dennis possibly lose? He's got the Berkeley vote locked up.

and it makes you sick to think about it doesn't it?

You might get hit up to contribute at a proportional rate.

Makes your liver turn to cheese, eh? Heh heh...

Universal health insurance would cause taxes to go up, but health insurance premiums to go down. The people hardest hit will be people who are currently not insured, because they'll see a tax hike and no drop in or disappearance of their health insurance premium.

They'll gladly pay that extra tax, though.

Free education is an investment in the future. Right now, we have zero unemployment in the medical and some engineering fields. We actually have negative unemployment, and are filling the jobs with foreign labor.

Beyond this, an educated populace is necessary for democracy to function. Free education into college is a good idea. Free remedial education is also a good idea, as well as expanded funding for free libraries.

Free trade works too, if it's equitable. We've decided how we want to live - with clean air and water, with safe workplaces - now we need to demand that the competition also rise to our standard of working and living. To do otherwise is to force other people into misery and illness... just so we can have inexpensive imported products.

You humans must vote for me. Kucinich gets his ideas primarily from what he calls THE STAR CRYSTAL. But it was I who sent it to him anonymously in 1967! The crystal is nothing more than a Lite Brite with the colorful pegs superglued to the Lite Brite's grid.

Dennis is all about feeling good vibrations. I'm about shattering your false consumer lives and bringing about REAL SOCIAL CHANGE.

VOTE FOR ME if you want the earth to turn at a SAFE speed. End transmission.

Try to picture a President who never had a job in his entire life.

That's Ralph.

That's also Al Gore (unless you count government work -- I don't).
