Denny K’s “new direction”

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 24, 2008 06:08 PM

Dennis Kucinich is dropping out of the presidential race. You know why.

Democrat Dennis Kucinich is abandoning his second, long-shot bid for the White House as he faces a tough fight to hold onto his other job—U.S. congressman.

In an interview with Cleveland’s Plain Dealer, the six-term House member said he was quitting the race and would make a formal announcement on Friday.

“I will be announcing that I’m transiting out of the presidential campaign,” Kucinich said. “I’m making that announcement tomorrow about a new direction.”

The “new direction?”

I reported it here yesterday: On Monday, before the State of the Union, he’ll be swinging the impeachment noose high.

The BDS bandwagon rolls on.

    His standing as a candidate was so miniscule that as far as I’m concerned he just made his announcement.

    Don’t make a big deal out of it, Denny. Nobody’s listening.

    A new direction? “Space… the final frontier…”

    Am I the only one who feels like this Congress has modeled itself as a real-life adaptation of the movie, “Ground-Hog Day”? Between amnesty, sCHIP, and calls for impeachment hitting the floor every time Congress is in session, I find my head spinning as I wonder why this is being brought up again… and again… and again. If there is nothing else of more importance happening in the world that requires the attention of our representatives, then I’d have to say they are GROSSLY overpaid.

    You were running for President, Kucinich? Oh, yes, now I remember…something about you running…I think.

    That is so totally different from quitting or dropping out. Stop spinning this, Michelle. He’s just in transition.

    Seriously though, in that same interview, he did say that he didn’t expect impeachment to happen. He was, however, hoping it would create a public inquiry into the 900+ lies told over a two year period, of which approximately 25% were made by the president. I’d put this tripe in quotes but I don’t recall the specific language. I’m also not visiting the Center for Public Integrity’s (is that what it’s called?) website to find out.

    Little Denny K just figured out that he has a whole spaceship full of rivals contesting his candidacy in the democrat primary. All of them in one way or another are asking; wheres the bacon dude?

    Representative D. Kucinich forgot to represent his constituents. He’s toast.

    Hillary’s idea of “change” is putting a Clinton back in the White House. Dennis’s idea of a “new direction” is heading back to the senate.

    Remember when I met him I thought “Why is this person so unhappy? How could anyone trust such a miserable person?” Everyone has a bad day but Kucinich practically screams that he has issues.

    The difference between serious adult politicians and the moonbat fringe is more serious than the difference between Republicans and Democrats. It isn’t politics in the sense of arguments over marginal tax rates. It is a deep sense of anger among marginally functional people directed at the successful elements of society. These days Republicans are better at controlling or expelling the fringe element. Maybe in the past that was not true. Maybe in the future it will not be true. Now is now and it is true.

    Think the three remaining Dem candidates paid him not to endorse them?

    At least now the MSM can quit pretending that there are more than three candidates in this race. Actually there are only two that really count.

    Who cares? He is only spinning his wheels, and won’t get any traction. I have to hand it to him though, he has made himself more visible. “Hey! Down here! Down here!”

    The only thing scary about Dennis, is that he actually might have a constituency of like-minded fantasizers.

    Funny thing is that the other dhimmicrats believe the same things he does, they just hide it better.

    Three things define the modern Democrats:

    BDS
    Socialism and
    Dhimmitude!

    Denny’s a tranny? That explains everything.

    DK is a true socialist and embodies it’s very core. his followers are almost always die rad communists. I’m not just saying that to generalize either, they really are. Go to Digg and read comments posted by DK supporters, you’ll see for yourself. If anyone like this gains power hand in your freedoms kids, it’s over-reaching government for everyone comrades.

    Is that kind of like a “redeployment”? He should just admit he surrendered.
