Yay! Maybe he'll move to Washington now. He still has time to make that deadline.

His "support" for Gaddafi. It's quite ridiculous.

That's hardly the only thing that makes Kucinich a HP, but whatever you want to believe.

Yes, I'm sure that's not why the non-Democrats dislike him.  Of course it commends him doubly to me.

Talking about Democrats. The reason why non-Democrats dislike him is the same reason why they don't like Democrats.

My issue with him has nothing to do with that (though it is quite repulsive). I don't care for him because he's a political chameleon whose only consistent belief throughout his career is that he should be re-elected. He's a lot like Mitt Romney.

I'm hoping for Samuel Wurzelbacher to be elected too. Wink

Joe the Plumber's campaign will definitely be a fun one to watch.

His "support" for Gaddafi. It's quite ridiculous.

"Support"? He met with Gaddafi regime officials to discuss helping Gaddafi stay in power. He went far beyond being critical of NATO military invention. He made it quite clear he wanted Gaddafi to remain in power and would've been opposed to his ouster even if it had been done without NATO intervention. He also went to Damascus for a friendly visit with Bashar al-Assad while Assad was having people slaughtered in the streets and made publicly published comments about how Assad was such a fantastic leader.

What about the Democrats that went to Iraq in 2002(including McDermott)? It's not like there isn't precedent to oppose intervention in countries where people are dying to dictators(Iraq). Kucinich obviously took it further than he should have, and I'm pretty sure he realizes he was in the wrong, based on his statements. I don't think you understand how Kucinich tries to advance his cause, he has to be more extreme in his rhetoric in order and that leads him to do some stupid things.

Kucinich did not help the Gadaffi regime.  Are we honestly citing old smear campaigns and wacky conspiracy theories to discredit the guy?

I think it's enough to point out that he showed a remarkable degree of... I think 'extreme misjudgment' sounds right... with regards to that whole issue.

I don't hate Kucinich at all. Nor do I disapprove of Gaddafi quite as much as I do of those who clamored for his murder. I just like Kaptur better than the Natural Law Party. Besides, Cleveland already has a fine Representative in Marcia Fudge. Toledo doesn't.

Instead of reading the whitewhashed version of his administration as uploaded by his staffers to Wikipedia, I would recommend this: http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/the-king-of-spin/Content?oid=1503534

The comparison of Kucinich to Mitt Romney is a very good one, and should be used more.
