Kucinich complains that Iowa is 'a rigged game' (click here)
by Rick Pearson
DES MOINES — Democratic presidential contender Dennis Kucinich launched a broadside at Iowa's Democratic Party on Saturday, accusing it of creating a "rigged game" against his longshot bid by excluding him from two major events this week.
But Iowa Democratic officials said the Ohio congressman was off base in contending the party was behind his exclusion from Sen. Tom Harkin's annual steak fry today, featuring all the major Democratic contenders, as well as a forum set for Thursday by the seniors' organization AARP....
..."The whole purpose of the primary and caucus season is to provide voters with opportunities, not to enable a carnival of interest groups to subvert the process," Kucinich said. "When party leaders and their allies pre-select which candidates they will allow the voters to hear, it's a disservice to the voters. Iowans deserve better than a rigged game."...
He, like the former Senator Gravel sees the infrastructure of 'election process' corrupt and difficult to move into. Dennis has run for President before and not with dissimilar outcomes. This time and most interestingly the 'field' of candidates has 'stayed the course' to bring their messages to the platform and in doing so more than likely securing a 'plank' in that platform for their positions.
Dennis Kucinich is worthy of consideration for the Presidency as he never wavers from his positions on most issues. His policies have been the core of Democratic belief systems for a long, long time and at that very core is the word 'truth.' He believes in it and has been the only candidate to mount the issue of impeachment with his house bill to remove a corrupt Cheney from the Executive Branch.
Dennis Kucinich is tried and true. He is hardcore Democrat. He is Middle America from every point there is to view, peace, dignity for our military, compassion for Americans caught in failure chains including that of the healthcare crisis, believes in environmental causes and if his wife is any example of his need for intellect, then our educational system federally would be well funded and directed.
You could honestly call Elizabeth Harper Kucinich (click here) the American Fergie for the red hair and natural beauty she enjoys. She was born across the pond and her credentials are exceptional. She would make a perfect first lady, but, in all honesty it would be rather odd to have one that sounded like a Brit. It is understandable what Candidate Kucinich saw in her and true to form, it's an atypical match, the lady is taller than the candidate, but, then that is Dennis; stereotypes don't exist and where they do the barriers are knocked down.

The candidate for president says he feels a "strong connection" linking him to Hawaii
By B.J. Reyesbjreyes@starbulletin.com
In his 2004 presidential campaign, U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio had his best showing in Hawaii -- where he won 32 percent of the state's Democratic Caucus vote and finished second behind eventual nominee John Kerry.
So in the run-up to the 2008 bid for the White House, Hawaii was a logical stop along the way.
"I have a strong connection to Hawaii, and Hawaii has a strong connection to me," Kucinich said yesterday in an interview with the Star-Bulletin. "I see it and I feel it."
"People in Hawaii understand how important it is for America to take a new direction, rejecting war as an instrument of policy," he said.
Rejection of the war in Iraq will be among the topics on the agenda as Kucinich continues his tour of the state this weekend....
For long time Democrats, Dennis is a senior statesman. He represents all that is unwavering of the Democratic Party. We are grateful for Dennis Kucinich and expect he to be around for longer than most Presidential hopefuls. I wonder why that is? Hm?
