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.

Kucinich was my candidate but I'm not bitter about him losing. I'm glad to see Kucinich(unlike another former candidate)isn't bitter and is fully supporting Obama's bid for the White House.

I'm sorry that I didn't see the speech when he gave it. However, I saw all the others(Pelosi, Kennedy, Warner, Clinton) and, with the exception of Michelle Obama's, they are all a load of crap. In a country where the intentions of the Founding Father's were truly understood, Kucinich would be a hands down choice for President. He has the real courage to speak TRUTH TO POWER!

this was a prime time speech. he needs to give it again !!! in florida , in ohio, in pennsylvania.

[PAposter]

I would love for him to come to Pennsylvania and give that speech. He was incredible.

Best position Kucinich could get in the Obama administration would be attorney general. That way he could assure that criminal prosecutions against the current administration would proceed.

[DesertLight]

Now, he is officially taking charge of area 51.

[TruepatriotinRI]

I'm sure he'll see you there sitting in your cage if he does.

[smilodon1]

I'd love to see him be the Speaker of the House next year. We need someone other and republicanderthal-light Pelosi.

[eladora]

I thought that about Pelosi until I heard Chuck Todd talk about her the other morning. New insight as to the way she works.

[arspar183]

here here...on that one!

[itsafreakingame]

Amen!

[Retrofuturistic]

Dennis Kucinich is a Real Man (and I am defining that as someone who is willing, against great odds, to stand up for principles). One of the few left in American politics.

[Marlyn]

He's my man.

Dennis Kucinich, Secretary of Peace of the Department of Peace.

It has a nice ring.

[KaluMa]

That would be fantastic. He would be great as a Secretary of Peace. He should have been given more coverage. His speech was great!

[Donnat]

Yeah! all power to the people!!!!

[Grannysue]

Dennis is MIGHTY MOUSE!

[ThomasMc]

The Corporate Crime Syndicate will never allow Kucinich to be more than a snicker on cable news.

Of course, DK is the man.

Gosh, I just can't wait until BO gets elected. My life will be so much better with the federal government government taking over the oil companies and managing my health care. I just know it will.

Imagine a world where we are all equal and no more wars.

I just can't wait.

[duchessdorleans]

I'm honestly baffled as to whether that was irony or idealism.

[scottman1085]

Neither, it is called realism.

Everyone knows that health care, housing (w/pool), college education, zero crime, retirement at age 50, and free tickets to Disneyworld are god given rights.

[DMHendrix]

I saw this speech live (and uninterrupted by media talking heads) and let me tell you he had me jumping around my living room. It was fantastic!

He is a TRUE Democrat and defender of The Constitution. We need more like him.

Dennis was on fire - I also loved Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer.
