Goodbye, Rep. Kucinich. I disagree with just about everything he stands for, but as far as I know his vote wasn't for sale.

Didn't know he was a truther. I knew he was a bit kooky though.

Got a linky on the truther thing?

It hurts my eyes to look at a site such as this, but if you insist....

Uh, he says nothing about 911 being an inside job there.

Bummed he lost. I agree with him on almost everything except for foreign policy.

 

[Cain]

Of course he lost -- he's one of the good guys.

Yeah, I don't quite see it. He's taking about the war in Iraq. I think the truthers want to glom onto him and claim he's on their side.

Maybe he's a crypto-truther. My Google-fu fails to find any clear statement by Kucinich disavowing 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Maybe now that he no longer has to run for reelection he'll come out as a full-blown truther. We'll see.

I have a suggestion for him as a way of keeping relevant - do a Playboy interview and have his wife be the centerfold.

 

[Donal]

Seriously, how did he land her?

Anyway, meh, he's the Dem's version of Ron Paul. He didn't really make a difference.

 

[Tricky]

For better or worse, he was a victim of redistricting. He ran against another popular Democratic incumbent, and somebody had to lose. Frankly, I'm glad it was him. He is an embarassment waiting to happen.

This.

We talk a lot about the "nut right" on this forum. Kucinich was the "nut left".

Looks like the person Kucinich lost to will run against Joe The Plumber in the fall: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/07/joe-the-plumber-wins-gop-primary-in-ohio/?hpt=hp_t2

So they lost their left nut in the deal. I always wondered where that saying came from...

 

[BenBurch]

I wont tell the whole story, but I know somebody who was very close to him in the 2004 campaign and who was very disillusioned and believes that Kucinich is not at all the person he presents to the public.

 

[Cain]

I wont tell the whole story...

Can you at least share part of the story?

 

[Brainster]

On the Truther issue, I would say that Kucinich skated close to the edge, but didn't quite fall in.

 

[Humes fork]

He is a somewhat powerful man, and powerful/wealthy men do attract women.

Anyway, meh, he's the Dem's version of Ron Paul. He didn't really make a difference.

If I'm not mistaken he is a UFO believer.

I take the position that if you're not laughing at the Truthers, you're one of them.

 

[varwoche]

I wonder what happened to the concept of him carpetbagging his way across the country to try and become my representative.

 

[varwoche]

Former presidential candidate and 9/11 truther Dennis Kucinich...

Oh well. "Terrorist" has come to mean anyone who upsets anyone else in any way. I suppose I can live with "9/11 truther" coming to mean someone who questions any aspect of 911.

That ship set sail many years ago...
