I was moved to tears by the end of the 2nd video. Rep. Kuchinch would really be an asset to our cause at www.VoteWorldGovernment.org - a bottom up democracy movement that has lofty yet practical ideals - such as the abolition of wars between nations, the restoration of our mother earth and her polluted resources, and the replacement of competition to cooperation in the hearts and minds of the living planet. BRAVO!

Dennis Kucinich has always been the Best, but this is his BEST yet! He Represents in this interview for us, both things that right now this country needs most; though each one is holographic in scope and therefore, Representative of All. This is the finest Being in our time who has lent himself to Serve in the political arena, and this is what scares so many, because it IS Real. Too many are too afraid that, once face to face with all that most people were taught of what Good IS, such as taught by Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, / Ghandi, MLK, RFK----> -that these many human beings feel they cannot live up to it, cannot actualize such qualities in themselves, so they go for the first charismatic character who promises to do it for them instead. They are still as yet vulnerable then, to predators. Peace, as Dennis kucinich presents, based in the Principle of Peace, is won by actively going about the business of attaining it, with each bit that we attain going directly into the Service of Peace. Through the Culture of Peace, Unity is gradually realized and the hologram is enriched throughout. Peace is healing, but to sustain health, to sustain Peace, poisons must first be purged. Impeachment lies on the road to peace, (think of it, don't you FEEL the Peace there?) and through both of these wholistic attainments, all the good we need and will allow, and more if we WILL, becomes free to BE. Right away, for instance, we would quickly be making oil obsolete. That is no "wishful" thought, it IS a living reality that is possible as soon as the poisonous little bigoilmen are purged from stifling it, because it is ready to go right now. Actually, it HAS been ready for you to use for quite some time, you simply have not been allowed by the predators the freedom to do so! Without our collective purging through impeachment, any peace (and reestablishment of our freedom with it) that we might gain could only be fleeting. Unpurged, the cancerous predatory nature would be left free to regroup and recur, and through the creeping effluviant smog seeping out from its re-emerging predation, people would again become addictively intoxicated in these vapors, again stymied and bewildered. In this soul numbing fog the senses are hungrily absorbed in substituted self indulgences and still fail to recognize their own fulfilling good when it is trying to reach them, defaming it for standing in front of them with all the good it is offering. Dennis isn't looking for praise and glorification, he is compelling those who speak of good to STAND With him to purge the predators from our body politic and public mind, thus gaining and empowering the freedom to Stand as he is, cocreating and establishing a Culture of Peace that will lift humanity above the reach of predation. There is no time to lose, so Please Let us BE fellow humans Being that Culture of Peace that IS Rising UP NOW en masse and making this Stand!

I was truly moved to tears by the end of part ll

This goes on and on and on. Kucinich is wonderful. I agree. But Kucinich is not going to succeed in impeaching Bush. Kucinic will never be the president of this country. Kucinich functions as a kind of moral placeholder for our most fervent wishes. That's it. Meanwhile, the left is cocooned up again in a dreamy circle-jerk, unable to support a viable candidate, and wistfully asking one another, "Why in the world doesn't everyone see that this man should be successful?" Is that really a question that anyone beyond adolescence needs to ask? Because the majority of americans won't vote for him. Period. I would, but it's not an option that can be responsibly exercised at the moment. Maybe someday. Who knows? Meanwhile, look at all of this... one might as well write in the Dalai Lama. I'm an old lefty and the difficulty here has always been "purity"-induced marginalization. A refusal to work within any realistic framework is about individual ego, not real change. It's a self-congratulatory and altogether ineffective bubble. Let's put our backs to a wheel that can actually roll, even if it rolls a little crooked and only in the right general direction. That would be Obama. A real increment beats an impotent symbolic gesture in the real world.

The US is on a tipping point. Angryrat's observations about the CIA's (actually the Executive's) dirty wars and support of dictators are right on. The criminal Bushies have actually removed the rock all this was hiding under. We are now discussing torture and justifying it instead of denying its existence. If this doesn't sicken the people of this country to the point of action, nothing will. There is a short "window" (sorry for the cliché) of opportunity that's now open. Bush, Cheney, and the other criminals should be impeached now and prosecuted later for their heinous crimes.

Thank you, ewp. What I wish to articulate with my question is maybe what I already know is the dismal answer to it: that the reason for any support of impeachment would fail at its root because both sides of the aisle--though they are sworn to uphold the Constitution--perhaps don't really see themselves as public servants, but as careerists. We can't entrust the running of a democracy to a Congress that is so fearful of rejection by one another. We need to give the entire Congress reason to fear we , the people. The best suggestion I have read recently is by Garret Keizer: A general strike.

Dear American Psychologist....if you post your e-mail I'll send you a note. Your equally concerned Canadian Psychologist.

In answer to KM ("What I don't see anyone) addressing, ....why people are so afraid or turned off or otherwise discount" what Kucinich is saying. As regards impeachment, I think 1) many in the Congress are very squeamish about going there because of the fairly recent Clinton impeachment debacle and 2) that the leadership (Pelosi), up to now anyway, believes it would be impossible to get a biparisan agreement to begin proceedings such as we had at the time of Nixon.

Amen, km. and Alas, as well.

Kuninich is a total idealist living on a cloud of reformist dreams, but still, his move to pave the way for impeachment hearings on the Bush administration is brave. A bit late considering all the political, social and military tragedy that happened in the past years, but Bush has to be forced out of his office before the end of his term, or it's gonna validate all the mess and despotism he has made under his regime. His presidency was kind of a monumental insult to the Constitution and the USA at large, and if he just ends his terms by-the-book, that's gonna be one final nail in the coffin of the democratic republic of the USA.

What I don't see anyone addressing, and although I sometimes think I know the answer, I'd appreciate anyone of the fine commentators here to say why people are so afraid or turned off or otherwise discount this soulful and brilliant man.--Today a friend said that Dennis realizes he can't be prophet and king at the same time, so he has assumed the noble role of prophet, where he has a chance of redeeming us. That was a great observation. But what I still don't understand is why we don't want to be redeemed? Doesn't everyone feel awful, out of harmony, in more pain that is normal for human existence?

When I hear the speech of RFK regarding violence and the need for compassion, I get goosebumps. Imagine how close we came to electing a man with such thoughts and the courage to say it out loud. Dennis Kucinch reminds me of that ideal. Conjuring up the image of the America and Americans I want believe in. Who needs a 3rd party when Kucinch is on the ticket?

If the major TV and other news media wanted to get a huge response (buzz) from their viewers, they would broadcast this interview. It would evoke tremendous interest, both in controversy and in inspiration and relief. Is there ever anything shown with such hope and comforting reason anymore? Even on PBS, it is an increasing rarity. Remember how people used to sit and listen, rapt, to JFK. I have read that Lincoln naturally commanded singular focus during his talks. Teddy was the same. It's not how the media paint a man or woman, it's what's at the heart of their message, what's in their heart, that attracts and moves listeners. And this is how it should be. This man should be given an opportunity to speak on the same bully pulpit such willful destroyers as George Bush and Dick Cheney have received from our duplicitous public media.

It was extremely important historically, (despite Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi taking impeachment off the table) that Congressman Dennis Kucinich wrote articles of impeachment against both Bush and Cheney. Historians will always look back in amazement at this very dark administration and question why Congress did not act and impeach both Bush and Cheney. Now, Congressman Kucinich will have left a trail of the high crimes and misdemeanors that should have been followed through by the rest of Congress. Today, Congress' approval rating was 9%, which speaks volumes . . .

Kucinich better than Obama. I've met Dennis. He's the only politician of either party who has consistently had the guts to tell the truth and advocate a real democracy based on peace, justice and ecology. It is a sad commentary that the Dems go for Obama, who is anything but progressive. And that the Dems don't aggressively move to impeach Bush/Cheney, to take those two war criminals down the same way the Repubs tried to destroy Clinton because he had consensual sex. Kucinich is a great guy and he should be president, not McCain, not Obama, and certainly not Bush.

Gee, it's teevee, not a written interview. I would have liked to read this "interview."

DENNIS ROCKS!!

what else can you say, except maybe-

DENNIS & FEINGOLD! or FEINGOLD & DENNIS!

if the Dems would run that ticket, I'd be back in a heartbeat!

but they aren't gonna run that ticket :(

they won't even run Hillary/Edwards :(

so I'm voting for Cynthia this fall. She's the only democrat left running.

Rep Kucinich is one of a kind. Why can't people see his good? Is it just greed or the warmth of the quicksand up to our necks. God Bless him.

Dear deeply moved Canadian psychologist: I am, too. How can we talk? American psychologist

I've often thought about why the military is so mainstream and well-funded while the Peace Corps is something for lunatic fringe idealists. I love the idea of the Department of Peace and it's many facets. I'm more in favor of that than the impeachment, which, although deserved, moves us more toward past mistakes than future growth. Kudos, DK!

How inspiring and refreshing to know that there is a genuinely courageous man of good character, integrity and vision to guide US at this critical moment in history. A man with a genuine, authentic appreciation of our guiding values, inheritance and birthright. I salute Mr. Kucinich! I want you to know that as I work to create peace and harmony in my own heart and mind, I am with you, I am for you! May all the power of the most high, and all the superior realms, all the gods, all the ascended masters, and all that is just and trustworthy in the human soul, bless and keep you. Your sublime and golden armor is shinning, your flaming sword is flashing with undeniable dignity and beauty of truth. Your cause is just and true. Triumph and Victory is yours! You lead and I will follow.

I completely support and favor Kucin ich, and still thing he would have been better then the current candidate. I'd like ot know what he says in this interview but don't want to waste time watching talking heads - is there a tranascript available? Some of us do not watch TV but prefer reading...

Peace was never a central theme in US foreign policy. Just take a look at the CIA's dirty laundry, at the little wars the US participated, either as a supporter of one side, or as an active military force. All the coups, assassinations, death squads, all the dictators it supported... What Bush does is simply a more open continuation of this policy. They realized they don't have to work with the whole cloak-and-dagger routine, and became bold. God save our souls.

I am deeply moved by Kucinich's profound sense of what democracy is and inspired by his courage to challenge the beast in the form of his impeachment articles. I am a Canadian psychologist and artist who, along with many others, believes that the psy-ops (psychological operations) have generated a mass psychosis in the U.S. which has allowed the current administration to undo democracy and to replace it with a hostile and terrorist dictatorship. May all the collective power of the human heart and soul be with Dennis Kucinich and all others who will restore justice and democracy in the once great nation of the United States for the security and peace that all humanity aspires to.

Last evening I watched the fairly sympathetic treatment of the Nixon presidency, in the film by Oliver Stone.A smart man who achieved a lot in national and international affairs, Nixon was brought down by his hubris. The lies alone of the current president should be sufficient to impeach him or lead him to resignation. He will leave behind him the legacy of the unforgivable and murderous war, a wrecked country - Iraq - a domestic economy in shambles, American loss of prestige and authority, in short nothing noble or constructive, His departure in disgrace would be a cleansing act of the mind and soul of the greatest democracy on earth.
