Stop lying to yourself
While reading the recent Salon article Stop Lying to Yourself. You love Dennis Kucinich, I soon realized I HAD been lying to myself.
I really really want to like Obama. I really really don’t want Hillary to get the nomination.
In this desperation, I have chosen to ignore Kucinich despite the fact all of these on-line wizard thingies tell me he is the candidate for me. Part of it might be because I never know how to spell his name. It might also be because the last two election cycles have left me gun shy. No one I like ever gets elected, no matter how much I want them to, how much money (not alot) I send their campaigns, how hot their wife is (Kucinich has the hottest spouse of all the candidates by a long shot), how much political commentary I read, how much of the debates I watch or how often I reload the image of the map of the USA on election night.
But this time, maybe it can be different? Probably not, but a girl can dream, right? So, as of now, I am vowing to look into Kucinich a little more closely. Plus, he does a flawless Donald Duck. Reason enough alone to vote for him.

Yeah, Kucinich is great; but so is Ron Paul. I mean Dr. Paul is REALLY great. A liberal libertarian in Republican cloth.
But then, I REALLY liked and supported Nader too – and others before Ralph, cut from the same jib.
But none of them could win. I wasted my time, money, friends, and my vote.
It’s sad but true, neither Kucinich nor Ron Paul have a prayer.
For the good of our country and our children and everything else we hold holy, we should pick the best Democrat and stick with her or him!
Saludos,
Don

Look up the youtube video of Hannah Storm interviewing Dennis’s hot wife. You will like her even more. They have a Kasey/Jean Kasem appeal.
I’m so jaded with the political system at this point…I guess I’ll vote for Stephen Colbert, even though I don’t find him all that funny. If only Dwight Schrute could run…
Cheers,
Mark

I’ve never given Kucinich much thought because I think he is funny looking. However, some people really like Ron Paul and he is REALLY funny looking! I’ve never wanted Hillary to get the nomination either because she comes across as a cold calculating bitch but all the online quizzes tell me that Hillary fits all of my criteria. Go figure!

[...] I have always had a soft spot for John Edwards. He is a smart and gentle Southern man that appeals to the Louisiana farm girl in me. Wouldn’t an Obama / Edwards ticket just kick some butt? Come on, admit it. The on-line surveys tell me I should like Kucinich – but he, to borrow the phrase, didn’t have a snowballs’ chance in hell despite how cute his wife is. But the one that I have not been able to stomach from the beginning is Hillary – and that is not only because her daughter Chelsea was a less than stellar intern at WHO before almost immediately going to McKinsey where she earns a rumored 500K (Seriously, not an impressive intern. But I suppose one doesn’t have to impress with actual work if you are part of the Clinton Clan.). Though I don’t think I’ll vow to leave the country if she wins. [...]
