Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich & the Environment

I'll join. He is looking like the only hope to me besides Ron Paul, but Ron Paul kind of scares me with his being completely down on government programs of any kind. That just doesn't work in a civilized society. Dennis is the only one who doesn't sound like a mouthpiece for endless US agression.

Great! I'd encourage you both to publish a piece on him if you haven't yet!

Following the EDWARDS link in the interview link above (http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2007/08/01/kucinich/) doesn't seem to substantiate the Kucinich 'hedgefund' accusation. Rather, it presents a very detailed, comprehensive environmental platform by John Edwards which seems more thoughtful than the generalized greenie positions of most candidates. Change is unlikely to come from revolution - given the apathy and dispair of most concerned citizens.

There's not a bad apple in the Democrat barrel compared with the crowd of cardboard cutouts and Wall Street sycophants in power or seeking it on behalf of the Republican concept of 'capitalism'. However, reversing their gutting of the social contract implemented by Roosevelt's 'Brain Trust' after the debacle of 1929 is going to require competent, hard work. Edwards seems, to me, to have a better grasp of the policies, programs and focus needed to ACCOMPLISH change.

Serious incremental administrative reversal of the laissez faire, robber baron mentality of the Republican money-changer hijacking of our future might be possible with Edwards. The trial lawyer with a successful track record against corporate shenanigans might have a better chance of undoing the mechinations of a class-cutting ivy leaguer with his hack gopher and shotgun wielding bulldog.

Kucinich's idealism, Obama's evangelic inspiration and Hillary's cautious identification with the 'system' have not yet engendered the media marginalization or 'radical right' vituperation against John Edwards. Perhaps we should consider why.

Thanks for the link. I would add that even if you're not supporting Kucinich as your number one candidate, it's still a good group to join if you want to hear/read ideas that differ from your favorite candidate's and thereby become better informed.

I'm sorry I'm too apolitical to view the site. The way I feel.......May the best women win...whoever that might be.

Very true Diana!

Okay, I like most of what Dennis Kucinich has to say. However, Kucinich also has the tendency to get linked in to some really weird groups through his vegan connections. I have nothing against being vegan, but do some research on Elizabeth Kucinich's keynote address at the Raw Spirit Festival in October, alongside two Breatharians, who promote the idea that people can be healthy without eating food at all.

The good candidates always seem a little weird.;-)

He's the only one saying anything I want to hear... and the more I look into his record and accomplishments... the more I like him!

U wishing you laughter
