Dennis Kucinich is a pretty cool guy. He passed health caer and doesn't afraid of anything.

Believe it or not, I'm not too strongly against people advocating progressive positions, even though I'm rather centrist. We have some pretty smart Democrats who will moderate untenable or unfeasable positions, if those two words even mean different things from each other. Mainly my contention with people is over strategic issues and how to get what you want, or more of what you want, rather than less, or getting the popular consensus necessary to get something done rather than insisting on an ultimatum and epic fail. I think that you shouldn't diss Kucinich even if he backtracked on his position, because he basically saw what his two choices of an action could do and then decided to get more rather than less. With Kucinich, we are ushering in a new era of progressive pragmatism. It's like game theory crossed with new ideas for government.

4. I think I see what he did thar with his brinksmanship, but people here should be smart enough..
   ...to know that that's a strategy and not take it literally and parrot it, and get in arguments with people here with people here who aren't engaging in posturing and just want to talk about things as they are.

10. Caving is pragmatic if it gets you more of what you want.
   Law #22 of The 48 Laws of Power is "Use the surrender tactic: transform weakness into power." It is difficult to tell whether or not you are praising or criticising Kucinich.

Clearly one of the ones who claim an IQ of 150 at the DUmp.

I make typo's like the OP all the time.  I swear I think one word and a completely different word is typed.

Don`t get me wrong either.
I am not a spelling or grammar fanatic (wrote as little as possible in the thread so as not to goof something up myself) but just picking at them for always claiming to be the smartest the country has been blessed with.

I'm thinking LoZoccolo was on an afternoon bender.

EDIT - After looking at the time-stamps, he may have been on a 24 hour bender.

I do the same - to avoid it showing up in my posts, I will usually wait and reread before hitting enter - and even then I may not notice the pile of freshly ground wordburger I left behind..

Then I rush in to edit it

Fair evaluation.  They constantly make references about how freepers can't spell.  If we documented all their spelling errors, we'd have to dedicate a new site to contain all the cases.

These are the self confessed smarterest <sic> people on the interentz. Just ask them. Not one IQ under 150.

They should be held to their own standards.

Kook runs in a very safe district where people like my moonbatty MIL (I love her but she's a complete lib-loon) will re-elect him in perpetuity.

Pot would make them even more hyper

Pot would make them even more hyper

There is nothing medicinal about pot, but they are prescribing for anything and for anyone. Its all a joke. California would be better off gone.

A DUmmy genius.

The second greatest oxymoron in the history of the English language....

The first is a tie between Government Efficiency and/or Congressional Intelligence....
