Dennis Kucinich is going to be on our campus for a question/answer session at 7:30 this morning. Of course I'm going to put him on the spot. I think I've got some good brain-busters for him, but I was wondering for some of your opinions too. Kucinich has one of the most quasi-socialist domestic agendas I've ever seen, so I thought maybe something pertaining to that would be nice too. Thanks!
I've thought about this a lot, and here are my thoughts.
First of all, making fun of Dennis Kucinich is about as difficult as beating Christopher Reeves in a game of hopscotch, so I don't think you want to go there.
Second, If you're going to come off as a real liberal "progressive", you can't ask a real question. To come across as a real liberal, you must make a statement of belief as a rhetorical question, and then ask for his agreement.
Third, our goal is to get Bush in the White House, not humiliate a pathetic individual who is running for President and still can't get a date. Therefore, the question is, how do we induce Dennis to take actions that will help our cause? With these considerations in mind, here is the question I suggest you pose to him:
"Sir, despite your progressive and caring politics, it's obvious that the Democratic party has become such a tool of the multinational corporations that they will never support a candidate who truly has a vision for a loving and caring America that will fit into the global community. I believe that you should join forces with Ralph Nader, and run for the Presidency on the ticket with him. It doesn't really matter which of you is on top. In fact, you could have a co-Presidency and take turns. A Kucinich-Nader candidacy could reach out on the college campuses. Willie Nelson, the Dixie Chicks and Madonna would surely do fundraisers for you, and instead of begging for donations, you could have a series of concerts for Peace across this great land. Please do it, Mr. Kucinich. Won't you join forces with Ralph Nader for a really progressive Presidency?"
[I mean the steak, ya pervs!]
I don't think there's much chance of getting him to see the idiocy of his logic. He posted pictures of Father Twilight on his web site, and had an endorsement from "the animals of the forest" on there. Imagine a bb rolling around on a gymnasium floor. This is Dennis Kucinich's brain. Check out this quote from his web site:
I say we can't continue the damage we are causing and cannot begin repairing it until we withdraw our occupying army. We must pay for what we destroyed. We must pay reparations to the families of innocent civilians we killed and injured. But we must work through the United Nations. We must allow the United Nations to facilitate the creation of a democratic government that will be acceptable to the Iraqi people. No government created by the United States will be. It is better that we recognize this now than after the next 500 deaths.Do you really think you can get through to this guy or the people who follow him? He thinks we should pay reparations to the Iraqis and that the UN will set up a Democratic government. he'll see right through it
Never underestimate the ability of a narcissist to delude himself into thinking that any compliment is sincere. The biggest problem would be to keep a straight face while asking the question. Personally, I think the longer he's out there campaigning, the better it is for us.
Thank you, I'll sit down and wait for my answer...
