Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich considers outsourcing himself to another state
Orlando Examiner ^ | May 8, 2011 | Robert Elliott

Posted on 05/08/2011 2:47:38 PM PDT by rob88888

The Cleveland area is likely to suffer the loss of a seat, and Kucinich's district is likely to be the one that gets erased. Most Congressmen faced with such a scenario would do one of two things: a) retire from public office and get a real job in the private sector, or b) face off against another incumbent Congressman in a battle for a single seat. In fact, this is precisely what happened to Democrat Congressman John Dingell of Michigan in 2002. Michigan lost a congressional seat after the 2000 Census, so Dingell defeated another incumbent Democrat, Lynn Rivers, in the primary election and went on to win the general election.

Again, most people would choose one of those two options. But Dennis Kucinich is not most people. Kucinich is a supporter of anti-American leftist autocrat Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, once sued a cafeteria for $150,000 because an olive had a pit in it, and infamously introduced a bill that would ban "space-based weapons" that are used for "mind control."

But on the plus side, his wife is smokin' hot.

How convinced do you have to be of your own indispensability as a congresscritter that you would not only move between districts, but move to a completely different state to keep a place of power? Does he have any ties at all to Washington?

Well, hey, after Obama we’ve learned that Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution is no longer important, so I guess we can now ignore all of Article I, section II, and people can run for Congress no matter where they live.

No.

Most congressmen faced with such a scenario would get an appointment to some cushy "public service" or NGO job where they could continue to loot from the public treasury.

I’d actually rather see Ryan and/or Sutton get redistricted out of a job.

She is better than a 5 and for a Commie Pinko troll like Kusinich, she is an 11+.

I also read somewhere that she is mildly Conservative and they don't agree on some big issues.

He ought to think about HI; they will elect any “D” there to anything. He could even produce a birth certificate to convince the die-hards.

LOL. But as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. IMO, she’s easy on the eyes (and I’m partial to redheads). Here in my disrict of Berlin, there’s not much to write home about. But quite a few of the Turkish ladies are serious head-turners.

Either you’re blind or things have changed drastically in 40 years....Berlin had some real head turners....a guy by the name of Rolph Eden...(I think that was his name) had a joint called.....something...anyway you could go in there and each table had a phone....see something you liked call the table number and hope they spoke English...or at least enough to understand where a drink was coming from..... Fond memories for sure....

I think the NLRB should intervene and prevent him from moving.

Kucinich says that other states have asked him to run, although he did not name any of the states that allegedly expressed interest. (My guess is that California is one of them. Call it a hunch.) But who knows? Maybe he'll decide to head even further west than Cali and go all the way to North Korea, a country with a political and economic system that is the logical conclusion of most of the policies he is known for advocating.
