Good for Kucinich trying to keep up the momentum with his impeachment idea. Do note, the there is a healthy applause at the end, for the record the woman they zoom in on at the end standing and clapping is the mother of a soldier who has done three tours of Iraq. Wolf does his best to cut him off, I remember he wasn't as successful cutting off Obama or Hilary as they bantered back and forth about whose health care plan is better. Kucinich was given under 6 minutes to speak throughout the debate, I hope more Americans can find their inner Kucinich courage, me and the world is waiting.
Here is an article about the impeachment for your pondering.
The Courage Of Kucinich In Pelosi's House Of Wacks - CommonDreams.org
Then there is Dennis Kucinich - the diminutive giant in the House of Representatives. The American Congressman from the 10th District of Ohio who refuses to be silenced. The Democratic candidate for President who passionately upholds his oath to protect the people and Constitution of the United States of America from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Not as an oral exercise when sworn into office - but as a moral exercise every day in office.For Dennis Kucinich, nothing and no one will suppress his allegiance to his country and to his abiding principle of "strength through peace."
So when Speaker Pelosi tells the cowards in her House that "impeachment is off the table" because the fight to impeach is too hard, Kucinich doesn't believe her. No one ever told him being a Congressman would be easy. No one ever told him maintaining democracy was a cinch. When the President and Vice President commit acts as egregious as lying the nation into illegal war, illegally surveilling their own citizens, endorsing and allowing torture, and more, the strong don't stay quiet...Read More on Commondreams.org...

4.
Dennis rocks - simple as that. He's really the only one who deserves the White House, but does America deserve to have such an honest clear thinking person expending that energy for them??

5. He appears to be a bit odd, but he does speak many truths. He is certainly right on with IMPEACHMENT talks. We need to start with BUSH and then go after the DARK SIDE that is DICK!

6. I love Dennis Kucinich! I would like to know why the polls the media report have him at the bottom but everywhere I go I find Kucinich supporters. People love him but the media doesn't. Could it be that the media can't handle someone who can actually speak the truth?

8. It was great to hear applause for him one time. They asked a total of 5, again, 5 questions during the entire debate. You see a kid like Christopher Jenkins, Marine, 3 tours and alive. Cindy Sheehan the opposite, her son never came home , he returned, yes, in a cardboard flag draped box.
That young man, Christopher, has more bravery in the fact that while still a Marine he is speaking out, in public, on MSM during a Democratic debate.
I don't doubt he will face more hate now, than that incurred towards him as an American by Iraqis that tell them they were sent to ruin their lives and get out. He is the real deal, so many deserters in the Army, now and the warmongers and neocons will soon hear the truth, from the men and women that saw what we did over there. Welcome home, Chris, just do not expect any long term help under bush/cheney from the V.A. Hospitals when the PTSD sets in. These deceivers of our citizens will not even take care of those they sent to do their dirty work. They are cowards of the worst kind, never served at all.
I am proud of Rep. Kucinich for standing up when no one else would. I am happy the ACLU-SC has entered a request for impeachment for both bush/cheney. Rumsfeld and Rice should be tried for crimes against humanity, also. Four of a kind.
Dennis was so mad right in bringing up impeachment, H R 333, during the debate, do not let people forget, Dennis, never forget.
Thank You Christopher, for your 3X's over military duty and congressman Kucinich for fighting the good fight. Honesty will out.
I forgot, Oh Canada, please start letting military that refuse to kill come back across the border, and let Medea and Col. Benjamin drop by too.
Thanks Canada, just no tasers.

9. I admire Dennis' courage. I wish I could have seen the faces of the other candidates when he said he actually 'read' the Patriot Act. Impeachment is truly the only way right now; there plenty of ways to get involved with this movement. The People's Email Network (PEN.org) is a good place to start. They will send Impeach posters directly to your doorstep. You would be amazed at how many businesses I've postered that have asked for extras!

10. I really like Dennis, imho he's the only candidate that seems to be willing to stand up and say what needs to be said. Unfortunately, that's not what the MSM corporate giants want so he gets virtually ignored, or even worse targeted as a loon (the UFO statement for instance). Change is bad for business, it upsets the status quo. It's much better for them if a candidate like Hillary with her pockets full of corporate dollars, comes into power.
A similar circumstance happened years ago when Paul Simon ran for the Democratic primary. From everything I could determine, he was a great man who was actually concerned more about "the people" than power. But look at that silly bow tie and those large ears, we could NEVER let a man who looks like that be president, despite the fact that he was the best man for the job.
Long gone are the days when the best candidate for "the people" has a chance. Between the propaganda and control that the MSN has on who gets the spotlight, the fact that the majority of sheeples in this country would rather spend hours of their time watching and voting for American Idols than taking that time to do their own research and make up their own minds, and the corrupt voting practices in play no candidate "for the people" has a whiff of a chance. Every time I hear that old phrase "You could grow up to be president!" it makes me laugh till I vomit from the realization of what our elections and for that matter our once great country has become.

11. Remember Don Mc Lean's "Starry, Starry Night"? It was about a Vincent Van Gough who was (perhaps) too good a person for the unappreciative slobs who comprise most of humanity. Dennis Kucinich is just that kind of man, and like Van Gough is ignored when he's not being ridiculed by lesser people.

12. Dennis Kucinich is THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE. He is the man who should be PRESIDENT, because he speaks for the people, and for the constitution as our founders intended. DOWN WITH THE CORPORATIONS! They will destroy us all for a few extra bucks if they haven't planted those seeds already. I fear that the Depleted Uranium blowing around our planet has already potentially destroyed us all. We just haven't noticed it yet. Been nice knowin ya.

13. Would you all be agreeing with him if he were conservative and trying to impeach Clinton for his lies? Remember Somalia, Bosnia and Afghanistan folks? Who took us there? And, under what guise?
