Kucinich electrifies convention arena

That was an excellent speech, many good things he had to say, but his rythm and flow are a little choppy and, if he had paused appropriately and accentuated the highs and lows, he would have moved the audience to an even greater uproar...

I loved what he said, though..."We cannot afford another Republican administration..." ...D. Kucinich

Dennis Who?

Kucinich ought to be supporting Nader -- he's a lot more like Nader than Obama. I supported Kucinich up until he dropped out, and now that Obama has become another Clinton-like corporate democrat, I'm supporting Nader.

This man has the fire of the founding patriots in his veins.....wow...he is awesome....why isn't he the VP running mate? How do I contribute to his campaign.....we need more leaders like him to be in power for life! Bless you Kucinich,may you live long and strong, may your voice be heard everywhere and may it move us to truly wake up and make change our mission, and failure not an option!

Wow, that was excellent. I hope he will be a part of the next administration.

This is the only candidate I'd vote for. Think- an anarchist voting for a presidential candidate!

He's the only one I don't see putting up a front or throwing around wishy-washy words or saying and doing sneaky ass things.
Him and Ron Paul. Except that Ron Paul is a little fanatical sometimes.

FDR had polio and couldn't walk without crutches, but he still won the election because it wasn't made a huge issue. Now we're bugging a guy because he's too SHORT? I don't care if he's three feet tall and purple with a rat's tail as long as he speaks his mind and has the drive and ability to lead a nation along a path of improvement and prosperity.

i like dennis kucinich. its ashame we are a nation of juvenile brained people who can't vote for somebody because they look funny or because they speak the truth. because he's great

Dennis knew that the DNC needed a boost, and he came out swinging, electrified! Go Dennis!

Wow! Great job. Just the excerpt from the top has made me feel more energized than any of Barack's speeches.

Good job Dennis.

That's what the convention is about.

Dennis has given the best speech so far and I don't expect anybody to surpass him. For whatever reason, he's the only Democrat that is willing to say why Republican policies are bad for America. Being soft against Bush is how Kerry lost in 2004. I don't want it to happen again.

He should have been the keynote speaker instead of Mark Warner.

Dennis Kucinich is This countrys biggiest advicate for all things right.

He's my hero!

I'm gonna give you a 99% A-fuckin'-men, Dennis. You missed the 1% because I'm for ANY party that will genuinely push peace.

Great selection of things to "up." To think, if you or I were idiots, we could dismiss it all by grumbling "That's communist." without having a single concept of what that means.

Knock 'em out, DK. Thanks for the impeachment articles. Keep 'em going!

he simply is great

What a fucking champion.

Wow, great speech. The more I hear what Bush has done to this country the more I despair that McCain could win with his negative campaigning. All McCain has to campaign on is attacking Obama. No substance or change from McCain this election cycle.

He's also going to deliver this speech tomorrow in his Native tongue: Gnomish.

If the USA doesn't want Kucinich please send him over to the UK so he can run for prime minister.

Where are the good speakers? Because apparently they aren't part of this party and not of the Republicans.

I'd like to hear the good speakers....Obama is the only one that actually has talent in this area.

WHAT IS WITH THE PAUSING BETWEEN WORDS? Good lord.

If he has never had an earmark or has had friends that have had earmarks then he has every right to talk about spending...otherwise he (as I think he is) sounds like a hypocrite.

Dennis has the fire America needs for change! We need to find the fire to change the minds of Americans sitting on the fence. We need to fire up Americans for change! Yes we can!

WE NEED VOICES OF REASON!
WE NEED TO HOLD MAINSTREAM MEDIA ACCOUNTABLE FOR SPINNING FACT AND DISTORTED FACTS AS EQUAL.
CHALLENGE THE SPIN WITH TRUE FACTS!
SHAME THE TALKING HEADS WHO SPIN AMERICANS INTO DIZZYNESS!
THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

I'm so happy Dennis is in politics. Just a few more like him would be awesome - maybe minus a UFO or two...

A great speech and a great job of delivery I just wish alot more people would have viewed this speech. It was historic and I hope alot more people will stand up and take notice of the message and the mode of delivery. Isnpiring and electrifing. It is the kind of energy America and its leaders and its people need more of. Agreat example of how it should be.

Kucinich... one of the last american politicians that can talk without insulting my intelligence indeed...

Look where it got him in the democratic candidate race ;)

Meanwhile...

Here's the TOP 10 list of what you won't hear much of from the front-runners in this presidential primary season. Call them the candidate taboos.

PROUD OF WHAT ONE IGNORES ?
http://www.nowpublic.com/world/proud-what-one-ignores

Now just for fun, and it is not as if we are not laughing, even when it hurts, but that list of subjects the presidential candidates avoid like the plague is crucial to ignore in the land of the not so brave anymore (since we only attack nations that can’t defend themselves and snuff out mostly women & children) and, of course, home of the free to vote on Diebold machines for one of two parties that stands for 4% of the population that, anyway, marginally needs democracy to rule over the rabble (now that would be all of us who were born with a plastic spoon in our mouth or are not friends with CEOs of military-industrial complex corps that eats up more than half of the nation’s budget while WE THE PEOPLE are being served political & journalistic pablum and pretty much getting laugh at, while our masters go on their merry way to the bank by taking the country to the cleaners.

Is this what our democracy is reduced too ? Make the candidates & media dodge the important questions so we can all concentrate on the horse race ?

Winter soldiers and genocide policies VS. sex & sports!

Is this the only narrative our raising half witted & analphabet citizenry will and actually does understand and can follow ?

At this point & time : it certainly seems so indeed !

Kucinich, Nader & McKinney are right about it all...

Who cares ? Who noticed ? What will this convention circus really change ?

All the while...

"We are watching a poorly staged rendition of Wag the Dog , interpreted for the morbidly stupid and performed by the criminally insane." - Jules Carlysle

A True Patriot and Compassionate Intellectual.

I think even Bill Hicks would've supported this politician.

Kucinich is the Dems best candidate, therefore unelectable.

Kucinich looks like he speaks from the heart not the autocue.
He would make an excellent president.

Dennis Kucinich has guts...
his balls are twice the size of cheney, bush, rove
and all the GOP put together.
He sees whats going on with our nation and hes not owned by special interests! He will always be
a mans man in my eyes!

awesome speech. I hope I have that much energy when i'm his age. Trooper!

One of the greatest political individual on Earth and he receives very little coverage from the Media. Yes I do admire Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich and Al Gore and I wish we had more honesty individuals at the top that truthfully care for the People and the Environment cause everyone needs a behavior change to transform this polluted World of Today in something that it is acceptable for human life.

In my opinion there are only two presidential nominees this election in both Democratic and Republican parties that actually mean what they say, and don't just spew political rhetoric. Both were systemically shunned by corporate media. Ron Paul is one and Dennis Kucinich is the other.

Great speech Dennis!

I missed the speech. =/

Jesus Dennis. That was a doozy you had there.

Do not close the books on Dennis, He will be a part of the change.
