Dennis Kucinich Rocks DNC: 'Wake Up America!'

by Rep. Dennis Kucinich - Speech delivered at The Democratic National Convention

The following line was redacted from Dennis' speech, which suggested some conservatives need to serve time in prison. The original line read: “They’re asking for another four years — in a just world, they’d get 10 to 20.”

"If there was an Olympics for misleading and mismanaging this Administration would take the gold."


Gore to speak at convention -- to accept VP?

Al Gore is now scheduled to speak on the last night of the Democratic convention. Could it be to accept the nomination to run for VP? I don't have a link, but you can find it on CNN.com and elsewhere. Gore would be an excellent balance to Obama's perceived need for experience.


Big Business Is Making Sure It Wins the Presidency

It's the same old story: Money talks, and bullshit walks. And don't be surprised if we're the ones still walking after November.


My Democratic Party Commercial

I spoke to a farrier the other day -- you know, a guy who shoes horses. I asked him how business was going and he told me the price of fuel was cutting into his profits as he has to travel from farm to farm. Meanwhile, horse owners try to go longer between shoeings. But, the farrier said, he also does some polo ponies and "those people never have to cut back."


Where is global warming when you need it?

I recently returned from the NJ shore for a needed vacation. To my surprise, the ocean was the coldest there that I can remember, and, I have been going there for most of my life, and I am now 53. The temperature that I recorded using a standard garden variety thermometer was a bone chilling 59 degrees. Man, that is cold for late July!! So cold that a mist hung over the beach until mid noon for the whole week. Oh yes, by the end of the week the temperature was up to a balmy 61 degrees. Try swimming in that for a refreshing dip.

Political Chess: Winning the National Debate

I hope that Barack Obama reject John McCain's Challenge to 10 town hall meetings. In a chess game, a great player doesn't waste his time playing weaker opponents. A weaker opponent only weakens the great players game.

McCain's challenge to Obama is also the equivalent of a weak trap. Great chess players never play into the oppositions trap, unless it is a part of his or her game plan. It make more sense for Obama to go on tour with Hillary Clinton between now & the convention than McCain. Force Hillary to live up to her help elect a Democrat propaganda (bs).

Political Chess: Why Obama / Clinton make Sense

I believe that Barack Obama don't stand a chance of winning without putting Hillary Clinton on his ticket.

WHY?

The way the Republican Party is set up, it is virtually impossible to counter their machine. The fact that Faux News & Repug talk radio have strong hold in the hearts of white America, Barack Obama won't survive their constant emotional appeal to stop him.

Repugs are successfully manipulating white women, because women & minorities are not united like we were in the 1970's & 80's.


Strength in numbers, Unity for the Democratic Party.

Revolutionary ideas and political success do not stem from the compulsive acts of just a few politicians. There are so many reasons for the democratic party to unite and to respond to the global crisis now. We must consider the consequences of what a stronger, more unified government can do in the future. Without the strength of the majority, our nation would be brought to its knees. What we have seen from John McCain's conservative platform to the strife between Hillary Clinton and Barack OBama leaves much to be desired.
