Except one. Dennis Kucinich for President! - Vagabond91, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47http://www.dehp.net/candidate/ is the actual site.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -12/+45Haha, wow, Kucinich has suddenly become the new Ron Paul on digg..
(he's my favorite candidate, just think it's funny how digg switches politicians to spam-submit every month) - allaboutdatiki, on 10/10/2007, -3/+33Say what you might, but save your words until *after* you take the poll:
http://www.dehp.net/candidate/
It's eye-opening. - LiberalJarhead, on 10/10/2007, -6/+31He's a pretty refreshing voice - it makes sense that when people actually look at his history as a mayor, his voting record in Congress, and his positions, instead of just buying the standard line that he's too radical, they decide he makes sense.
- joel.smith, on 10/10/2007, -7/+29I've been behind Dennis since the first Democratic Presidential debate earlier this year. His views and where he stands on a lot of today's issues just make sense to me. I really get from him that he actually cares about the American people, and not about power.
After 8 years of the ***** that we, as Americans--and the world, too for that matter--have gone through, it is time to wake up and actually have something be different. I feel Dennis Kucinich is the difference this country needs. We have a lot of healing that we need to do as a nation, and Dennis feels like the right person for the job.
That's straight from my heart. - whatthefu, on 10/10/2007, -29/+48The only problem with this is that it is on a pro-Kucinich site. It's not that I disagree, it's just that I prefer far less potentially biased information.
- knightboat, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Kucinich's site links directly to the full results on a different site.
- CDHarrisUSF, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Seriously, has he not seen Elizabeth Kucinich?
- Tyrsson, on 10/10/2007, -4/+21I like the approach of this survey. Not surprisingly, the candidate that most closely matched my positions on the issues was Ron Paul. However, I can't help but notice once again the disconnect between mainstream media and what people are really interested in. If most people resonate with Kucinich, then why do we only seem to hear about Clinton and Obama for the Democratic side and Giuliani for the Republicans?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+20Interesting approach to a survey, and one where I can find some value to the result. I will point friends towards this. It is very refreshing to me that Kucinich is the candidate I most agree with, despite having voted for Big Ronnie way back when. So much for the "people don't change" BS that gets thrown around.
- Trublmakr, on 10/10/2007, -5/+19Personally, I don't even see what's wrong with the "radical" moniker he's been pinned with,.. America needs a "radical" change in it's political direction.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18Ron Paul - "The new Mike Gravel!"
Kucinich - "The new Ron Paul!"
(Digg Politics) - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Romney at -41... no surprise
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 10/10/2007, -9/+22Kucinich's views are very reasonable. Of all the candidates he makes the most sense to me.
Pity he doesn't have much of a chance against the Clinton & Obama cash machines. - thelastcivilian, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16Ahhh.... bliss.
- nicku, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12$$$
- gabewhite, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Well, that one cat woman... and his hot wife, huh?
- knightboat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10They link right to it and show you how they measured each candidate.
- binkomatic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Why not? You can vote for him, I can vote for him, that whole 53% can vote for him. Lever's right there, same as the other ones.
- wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13That was covered above. Keep up.
- lukifer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12I took this one as well, and Kucinich came out #1, with Obama as a close runner-up.
Also, this is freakin' hilarious: "What religion should you join? The Belief System Selector will tell you." - Novagenesis, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12The poll asks you to rate the issue's importance...
"Pwnd" - ddxChrist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Exactly. That's why they were listed. It's a list of disagreements. You oppose them; he does not.
- GRANDPAMUNSTER, on 06/11/2009, -3/+11Yeah lets keep focusing on looks, because that's important in voting for president.(sarcasm)
- Novagenesis, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10see, I thought i'd like paul...this survey only gave me 22 with him... I'm way up there (tied) with Gravel and Kunich...marked "no disagreements" with gravel..
Go figure. - wholly2b, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8The poll tries to take that into account. For each issue it asks you about, it asks you how important it is to you: meh, important, or key.
But you're right, that's a good point. - hockeywhore, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12Dennis would be my 1st choice in November. He was the only one with the kahunas to speak out against against Bush when he went to war. I got chills when I read his speech to congress. It reminded me of Paine.
Meanwhile, Hillary was voting yes to invade. As much as I would love to see a woman in the oval office, she's got nothing on Dennis. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Freaky, I had Richardson at 40 w/ Kucinich at 39. I learned a little bit about myself today!
- ddxChrist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6He favors reparations for slavery? I must have missed that. Could you link me to supporting information? It would be appreciated.
- Buddhaismybuddy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Kucinich.
- Novagenesis, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Great, so you'll never see how buried you're getting.
- wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9The party line on this is that rifles and shotguns are for hunting, and that's fine, but handguns are only for killing humans. I don't agree with that logic...actually, it's completely stupid, but there it is, for what it's worth.
- BrandonMills, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7In our current political system, it doesn't matter if you don't have the $$$.
- Bahimiron, on 10/10/2007, -13/+19Man, I'm 100% for Mitt Romney.
...haha, just kidding. I'm not a caveman. - powerhouse, on 10/10/2007, -9/+15From Wikipedia : Kucinich is currently drafting legislation that includes a ban on the purchase, sale, transfer, or possession of handguns by civilians.
Can his supporters just overlook his obvious hatred of the 2A? - kingkilr, on 11/14/2007, -9/+15I would like to see their algorithm, because I just entered Barack Obama's campaign platform in it's entirety and it gave me Kucinich.
- Grummond, on 10/10/2007, -6/+12Well those "left wing ideas" work just fine elsewhere. Take a look at the Scandinavian countries, and their economic successes, while basically being socialist-democratic wellfare states mixed with market economy. Reality proves you wrong.
- zengonzo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Yes, a bitter pill to protect the city from a gang of thieves. Nice context, warsql.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8oh come on, they don't want to drown ALL of the govt - just the parts of it that can actually help people. They seem quite keen on the violent, oppressive govt. agencies.
- StormTrooperVII, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6comment buried for not RTFA
- thegreathal, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9Make your vote really count.
Do it!!!
We're working our asses off for DK, this poll being the spirit why. As to why the link is coming from dennis4president.com, this has been floating around the internet for weeks, blame the news coverage. - Grummond, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10Yes...close your eyes...people really AREN'T looking for a change from the repugs...
- CDHarrisUSF, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7The reason this is significant is not that a Democrat has the majority. That was pretty much guaranteed by Bush. The significant part is that the Democrat most people agree with is one that is hurting in the polls... being beaten by richer, more attractive candidates with backing from the media.
- bightchee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5What the hell is that IP address doing as a candidate in the stats? 24.107.14.26
http://www.dehp.net/candidate/stats.php - dasilva333, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6http://www.dehp.net/candidate/stats.php
is the link to the 100k+ people who've voted - ibookfast, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Bush didn't have either of those criterion, he just stole the office, twice.
- ddxChrist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Ugh. Thanks. Good thing there is more time to investigate these candidates. Kucinich goes down several notches in my book for that.
- fotoman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5as well you should. The issues it prints out are the ones you disagree with the candidate on.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6You scared me there for a second.
