WONDERFUL COMMENTARY BY A FELLOW NYC KUCINICH 2008 CAMPAIGN SUPPORTER [Eloquently spoken with passion and truth]
I will say that we have a great candidate here in Kucinich. He is against the war 100% and has voted that way consistently, against nuclear weapons, against NAFTA, for a green & clean environment, for less dependance on foreign oil. In short or long, he is progressive in EVERY sense of the word. We don't have to leave the party to find a great candidate who represents our, the peoples interests.
But we refuse to embrace him because we say he is unelectable. The media says this over & over too. He is electable!! If we support him, we do NOT have to leave the party, we can use our Democratic affiliation for the greater good here. We do not have to find a new party. Right now isn't it best to support a candidate who represents our political views and says to our party, this is our candidate, for he represents a better America, an America that has representative government.
When we support Kucinich we are saying that. We aren't compromising on the issues. This is Kucinich. He has experience, toughness and strength. He has stood up to this corrupt administration again and again. If we support him we ARE sending a clear message! Kucinich has positions we do support, he is uncompromising, why shoot ourselves in the foot as we stumble along looking for a party we can believe in? The Democratic party isn't ideal (and that is an understatement), but we have this great progressive candidate.
How can we be seriously called progressives, if we do not support one that exists right in our midst? Who is fighting everyday for our rights? To not support a candidate in our party who does represent our views and progressive agenda, just seems incorrect at this crucial moment in time. We do have a better choice. That choice is Kucinich. Kucinich is in it to win it!
