Kucinich's Democratic Convention Speech (VIDEO)

Dennis Kucinich took to the podium today at the Democratic Convention and fired up the crowd with a rousing speech. Kucinich's enthusiasm reached a crescendo as he repeatedly exhorted the crowd with cries of "Up with America!" In case his words were not evidence enough of his fire, his body language put all remaining doubts to rest.

WOW!!! Spread this!

[kahn10]

Can someone explain the "color orange" part to me? I've heard this reference before but I can't find an explaination anywhere. An origin would be nice too if anyone knows it.

[Minako]

Maybe it's referring to the color-coded terror alerts?

[myangeldog1]

Don't you remember the daily terror alerts (after 9/11) every day in the news. Then in the same breath Bush would tell America, to, "GO SHOPPING, GO TO DISNEYLAND!". God, when I think about what this administration has done to us...it's despicable.

Karma my friends...­.......Kar­ma

He meant the security code orange.

[obamanation31]

It's metaphor for how they use fear tactics to manipulate us into submission.

[kahn10]

So the website orangetoblue.com has the goal of making America's security threat reduce through getting Democrats into office?

[obamanation31]

I hope we all wake up before it's too late. This country's future depends on it.

[majormoderate]

this was a powerful speech from him. i was really impressed watching it yesterday. i'll admit, i had doubts about even having him speak at the convention, but his enthusiasm is exactly what the dems need.

This inspiring speech hit the nail right on the head and had me jumping up and down in my living room!!!!! Obama needs to run this as an ad during primetime, most effectively during the GOP Convention.

ENCORE!!!!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO DENNIS!!!!!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!

[Minako]

Amazing speech, I'm a little disappointed that MSNBC didn't air it, but since everything is online now anyway, I'm not shedding any tears.

Wake up America indeed.

Keep fighting the good fight Senator Kucinich!

[GoldenRules]

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are the only PATRIOTS speaking truth to power in American politics.

They have opposite views on how to fix America but what they have in common is more important! LOVE for America, COURAGE to fight for our Constitutional Rights, and the HUMILITY to follow the "Golden Rule", treat others as you would like to be treated.

I would be overjoyed to have either of them running OUR country!

I "HOPE" Obama is Watching/Listening!

[hotstuff]

I don't know much about the man, but he sure has a fire in his belly and could help this administration to stay possitive from what I have seen an know of him!

[66rock]

Dennis Rocks!!

Dennis just give O your state with "Wake Up Ohio" and we will win.

[LtSlothrop]

Go little man, go!

If more American demanded quality service (like people did years ago, walked instead of take the bus to be seated at the back for the same price) from the media we would not be corrupt in our elections to include the polling.

We the people having been doing this since the 1800's yet expect a different results.

We have allowed non American to purchase our media. They now control our votes. No paper trail voting machines control our votes.

If we spent more time writing to these companies for extremely poor products on the recall list or mail postcards, letter or just cancel the paid TV services to make them changes. As long we keep paying the cable bills that in itself says we love the services, and keep doing it, do not change.

"We the People" love volience, therefore, we love the republicans more. With their negative ad(s)they give us all the cut throat, hang your head on the tree, with lie and false propaganda and winner take all.
That is one major reason we are in the mess with 2 wars. If we as a democratic party don't go negative we are seen as weak. However, a black man will never be allowed to go negative. (e.g. Rev. Wright, he was not running for office yet Senator Obama is being held accountable for the pastor's sermons) Other churches have sex offenders yet all is OK for them.

[got2Bkidding]

There's your bumper sticker slogans

Wake Up America!
No Way! No how! No McCain!

[Unrepentant]

I love it!

(and I'm a natural cynic)

[bigturns]

Perfect

[hotstuff]

Great!

[kennymac]

Pretty much says it all in less than two minutes. Bravo.
