Kucinich: Best man for the job

I am not the only Kucinich supporter in Wyoming. The other night, at our Laramie County Democrats meeting, Rep. Kucinich received huzzahs for his filing of impeachment papers against V.P. Dick Cheney. Although impeachment might mean Cheney returns to Wyoming before his scheduled homecoming on Jan. 21, 2009, we're willing to risk it. He will continue to be a factor in Wyoming Republican politics, but his time on the national and international stage is done.

Meanwhile, Kucinich keeps on keeping on. Bill Maher interviewed him. Kucinich came off as the knowledgeable, passionate man that he is. You can see the interview, and read blogger Manila Ryce's comments, at The Largest Minority. Here's a sample:

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Dennis Kucinich is the best candidate for the presidency and an all around bad-ass mofo. Maher points out that he’s probably the most rational candidate, yet considered crazy by mainstream media conglomerates. Dennis is honest, he will end the “war on drugs”, he’s been against the “war on terror” since the beginning, he opposes offensive wars in general, he’s filed articles of impeachment against Dick Cheney, he believes in universal healthcare, he’s an environmentalist, and he has the balls to say he wouldn’t assassinate Osama bin Laden. That last fact may be a bit shocking to some of us who’ve grown accustomed to our country carrying out “targeted killings” against suspected terrorists. However, executing a suspect without trial, regardless of who they are, is against international law. Not to mention, the majority of people killed in our manhunts are always innocent civilians.
