Kucinich drops his presidential bid

My view of Kucinich mirrors that of Gore: devoted, educated, intelligent, creative men of ideas, as as such, aren't practical choices as President.
In a more idealized goverment, the kind I believe our so-called Forefathers desired, these kinds of people are the best choice for President; under our actual, lobby-motivated, individual agenda (and Agenda of The Individual) style goverment, doers like these would be wasted spinning plates of a myriad of issues, never solving a single one.

Elect Edwards/Obama; they then appoint Gore to Director of the EPA, Kucinich as Secretary of the Interior, Wes Clark as Secretary of State, maybe James Brady to the ATF, etc. - we need the full complement of focused, intelligent leadership across the board, without pinning our hopes on the Top-Cheese who will likely be undermined at every turn (IF even elected).

congradulations America you have committed sucide.Dennis Kucinich was the only man with a plan that could have saved America and so called Democrats turned their back on him with the help of the corporate media.Now i notice "liberal" websites are telling us like they always do a bad democrat aka Clinton or Obama 2 corporate stooges are better then a Republican. wake up it doesn"t matter anymore debt and poverty will destroy whats left of America whether its a Republican or so called Democrat.I think the best message we can send the Democratic party is we aren"t going to vote so go ahead and kiss the behinds of the corporations because you are no different then the Republicans

"How?"

"As a write-in candidate."

"But why?"

"Because so far he's the only candidate who, if elected, we can count on to end the Iraq war plus turning things around here at home."

I really wanted to vote for Dennis in the primary. He's the only candidate I gave money to. At least he managed to push John Edwards to the Left. Edwards is doing some of Kucinich's material now. That's something, I guess. I sure can't get behind Barack or Hillary at this point, though if the media is choosing our president now, I guess I'll have to warm to the idea. I sure as hell can't take another Republican administration.

Yes, it is a pity that someone who is willing to speak his mind and represent a kind of righteous anger from the left has been forced from the race. What remains is not much more than a kind of political theatre. The only other candidate who might bring some integrity back to the political scene is being crucified (and, of course I mean Obama) by two shills for the corporate class. The corporate class wins if the Clintons win and wins if the Clintons lose. What a country.

In 2004, I cast my primary vote for Dennis Kucinich; it was a conscience vote, followed by a hold-my-nose-and-elect-anybody-but-Bush vote in November. With him dropping out before my state's primary this year, I'll have to get out my clothespin early.

Buzzflash says, "And while most didn't think he had a chance..."

The most of whom? The most of lazy reporter stenographers? But WE THE PEOPLE did think he had a chance!!! KUCINICH WON EVERY SINGLE ONLINE POLL, which Buzzflash neglected to report, just like the rest of the MSM!!!

Buzzy, you have fallen victim to the propaganda of the MSM, which is the propaganda of the Corporatocracy.

Buzzy, during his presidential campaign, you hardly linked to or commented on Kucininch, especially on what is relevant, namely that Kucinich was the ONLY qualified candidate running for president, and the ONLY candidate actively seeking impeachment of the traitors in the White HOuse, not to be confused with the traitors in Congress, Republican and Democrat alike.

The MSM censored and ignored Kucinich, and you Buzzy went along for a ride on their coattails, unthinking, uncaring, and unreporting.

Thanks for nothing Buzzflash. You blew it big time the way you ignored Kucinich. You do not make a difference. Your actions prove that you do not support change. You are now an official member of the MSM.

Now that our remaining Constitutional rights we still have are about to be taken away from us in HR1955/S1959 I am curious to see if Buzzflash will also continue to ignore this very important story.

....stay tuned, folks. There has been buzzing about the possibility of Dennis joining forces with Ron Pau....what a team that would be! Main-stream media has and continues to muzzle the truth about these two candidates. Let's all pray that WE get the last laugh on THEM!

Dennis Kucinich had to go and both the corporate media and the corporate-backed Democrats conspired--Oh no, not another conspiracy theory!--to knock him from the presidential race by hiding from most of America that he was even in the race.
Dennis Kucinich was a menace to the powers that be and want to be. The focus of his proposed policies was entirely to the benefit of the heart of America, her citizens. With Dennis as president, the kings and queens of American politics and business, as well as their royalty-makers, would have lost place at court. In some cases they would have found a place in court. In any case, Kucinich would have been intolerable.
For me the highlight of the Kucinich campaign was the moment in one of the "debates" he was allowed to attend when he became so frustrated at being ignored that he resorted to asking himself a question. Ironically, it was also a low-light of his campaign in pointing out the truth in his being ignored.
Of course, the powerful couldn't tolerate any more of his having a national audience in which to point out their inequities, so they began disqualifying, dis-inviting, and generally dissing Dennis.
So, so long, Dennis. It was good to have you in the fight as much as the powers allowed. Best of fortune in Ohio. Keep up the good fight against the Goliaths.

...that the powers that be decided who runs and who does not run for president in this god forsaken country. I am sorry that the people of this god forsaken country get to vote for whom the powers that be tell them to vote.

I am going to sit on my vote, until someone worthy will appear on the political horizon. I am tired of voting for the lesser evil, like I've been voting for last 12 years or so. I am not interested in voting for someone just because s/he has a "D" in front of the last name. With the choices we have, it does not make damn bit of difference who gets the White House - we'll end up with politics as usual and more of bushonomics for the next 4 years.

I do admit I am burned out. There is no use protesting, calling representatives, signing e-petitions etc. etc... No more wasting time for me.

I am too old to be a leader, but if I hear of a revolution taking place in this country, and I like the cause - count me in.

This is truly sad. Kucinich was the only candidate who could have saved this country from certain doom. If you think i'm exaggerating, just watch and see. Time to find another place to live because the poltroons we have to choose from now have already sold us out.
