Bush can't even construct sentences in correct grammatical order when it comes to unscripted presentations. Kucinich is a man of intense passion and smarts. \r\n\r\nNow, the real challenge is to get the Democrats to realize that it's time for a full, 100% "New Deal" and full change to the progressive side -- or totally hijacking the party from them -- or a little of both. But if the Democrats really wanted to win the presidency, there is no more sure way of doing it than selecting Kucinich because the more average Americans hear Kucinich speak, the more they will like him. It's that simple. \r\n\r\nYou, BA, are not an average American given the positions you hold. About 20% of the nation is hard-core supports of the ideas of Bush and co. That's it. The 60% approval ratings are thin and surface-based, not a reflection of the issues -- issue per issue. \r\n\r\nYou see (and I'm speaking to others, not you, BA dip shit), if Kucinich was selected, the corporate media couldn't censor him. He'd have to get some degree of coverage. And what Kucinich says is too powerful ... it would resonate with the average American. \r\n\r\nSo, to the conventional wisdom that says Kucinich isn't electable, I say B U L L S H I T ! \r\n\r\nAnd all you folks trying to get General Clark to run, go get him to be a VP running mate with Kucinich\r\n","author":"repost","parent_id":68382,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-06-30 08:46:15","modified":"2003-06-30 08:46:15","fileurl":""},{"id":68491,"heading":"Kucinich","article":"Kucinich is definitely not electable.
