I believe he should be the next president

I would vote for him in a heartbeat. I’ll even write him in if he isn’t on the ballot.
I believe he should be the next president but have no faith in the people of this country to actually stand up and do what instinct tells them is right. Declaring peace and promoting peace throughout the world? Look at the history of this country and then tell me how a campaign of peace would be successful. We’re built on war and conflict; “when in doubt, declare war” has pretty much been our motto.
Do you think the country could be led by a vegan; a person who believes so deeply in compassion for all creatures that he’s structured his diet and lifestyle around that belief? I would welcome it as a change from the “good ole boy cattle rancher” mentalities that have run for president (and won in some cases) in the past.
Promoting peace, animal rights, universal healthcare, free education and environmental protection don’t seem to be on the agendas for most Americans, sadly.

Dennis Kucinich is a Joke. He was the mayor of Cleveland, Ohio and he is the worst mayor in the history of Cleveland. During his time in office, the city went bankrupt, the Coyahoga River became polluted and caught on fire, and he was almost recalled from office.
For anybody who supports Dennis Kucinich, I ask, "Why do you support Dennis Kucinich when he cannot even manage the City of Cleveland, Ohio?"

I am with you. He is brilliant and absolutely correct. He has an outstanding record. He is for all Americans and will bring us closer to what we could be. He was 100% correct about the war with Iraq. He fought against it. Everything is in danger of falling apart with Afghanistan, Turkey, and Pakistan. This current administration has really sunk us and I believe Kucinich can bring us back. It won't be easy but he has the courage and conviction to do it. He cannot be bought.
If you want a voice in government then Kucinich is the man.
I also support Ron Paul.

No way should he be President. Could you imagine him being forceful about any topic.
I know appearance isn't everything but when I look at him I see a reject from a casting call for a Revenge of the Nerds remake or the offspring of two ugly flower children.
I know he has to have something on the ball--He's still in Congress. It's just over the years he's failed to show anything accomplished.
Given a choice between him and Hillary-- It would be tough --But I'd go with Dennis by a hair.

I have never been so excited about a Presidential candidate. Dennis Kucinich has my full support. He is honest, caring, knows what people need and will do it
I think he will be the one candidate that can actually fix the healthcare system and provide insurance for every man, woman and child.
He will bring our troops home too.
Sadly, I don't think he will win. But he is my 1st choice for President.

I live in his Congressional Distict, which he vowed to serve after the 2006 election without seeking another office. Several weeks after the election he announced this second foolish run for president. The district is suffering with job loss, business closures and relocations & all he does is hold press conferences vowing to fight the closures!
Also, he has spearheaded NO passage of legislation since his time in office. He flip-flopped his stance on abortion during the last presidential cycle and his statements several weeks ago on foreign soil concerning the troops in Iraq was borderline treason.
Kucinich is a career politician whose laziness has trumped his blustering rhetoric and arrogance before, and will again. He may have a few supporters nationally, but there is growing discontent in the district as he tends to his ego, while the needs grow daily at home for truthful leadership.

I think that he's toward the honest end of the spectrum for a politician. I think that he has talked straight about the Iraq war. That being said, I think that he stands for big government socialism. I am a die-hard free market guy. I don't go for socialism, so I don't support him.
Being a Ron Paul supporter, I've had to endure uncountable misrepresentations of my candidate. So if you think that I don't understand Kucinich, I would welcome a correction.

he is the only Democrat running for president , not for the primary. he is the only one telling you the truth and telling you what he would do as the president , the other Dem candidates are either lying to you or will be lying to the rest of the country after they get the nomination.
integrity does matter and he is the only Democrat showing it
by the way im voting for Ron Paul the only republican showing it. for the same reasons

Respectable, much more so than Hillary, but too socialist for me. If my choice was socialist Rudy, or Socialist Dennis, It would be Dennis, but that would be a nightmare. At least he stands for something I guess.

He's interesting and he'd be at least 1000 times better than Bush, Guliani, Romney, etc. but there's no way in h*ll that somebody like him would get elected.
If you don't have the presidential look, chances are you're not going to make it. Sad, but true.
