White Noise Insanity

Wow, that has a pretty nice ring to it.

There's been talk on AMERICAblog in recent days about Dennis Kucinich running in 2008 (in the threads...not main posts). My first reaction was he's not 'presidential enough' and was basing that on his height (most of our president's have been tall and a tall people usually command the room and have more respect, according to the experts, but I don't have a link, so deal with it!). Okay, I admit it, though. Basing a presidential contender on his height is so right wing and irresponsible, that I even surprised myself when I typed it and hit publish! Well, what do you expect from me after having to listen to the dialogue on my television for the past 6 years! Case in point, there was a segment a couple years ago on one of the news networks (MSNBC? Can't remember) that pointed out George W. Bush was right for the job because he's tall and about the same height as Bill Clinton (which, now that I think about it....they threw in Bill Clinton to make it seem like Bush was just as good and were trying to prove that with the height comparison...ewwwwwwwww, how wrong they were! And....George W. Bush has never been right for any job even if he was 9 feet tall!).

Anyways, it was pointed out to me that George W. Bush doesn't look presidential and didn't look it right from the get-go. Absolutely correct! So, since that moment, I've decided that Mr. Dennis Kucinich would be perfect to lead our country into the direction that Americans voted for on election day 2006 (this election was a litmus test for the 2008 race as far as I'm concerned). Americans want someone who will listen to them and Americans were saying on election day that we want change in Iraq. We do not want to stay the course in an illegal occupation. We want to start de-funding the war and bring our soldiers home. We want accountability and a president who listens to those with the expertise and who sets aside his or her own personal views for the betterment of the country and our reputation!

If you've never heard Dennis Kucinich on the floor of the House speak truth to power, then please tune into C-SPAN when the democrats take over in January 2007. It's a treat and a half and I can't wait to watch him in action!
