As we reported yesterday, his local colleagues aren’t too eager to jump into the fray that pits incumbent Cleveland congressman Dennis! Kucinich against Toledo’s Marcy Kaptur, thanks to diabolical Republican redistricting.
But retiring Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank took time out from making wedding plans to endorse his Cleveland colleague.

Frank, who is gay and about to marry his longtime partner, cites Kucinich’s “strong support for an end to discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity,” as well as “substantially reducing America’s military activity across the world.”
He also says in his letter of support,
I do not by this mean in any way to denigrate Congresswoman Kaptur. This is not a case where supporters of progressive principles have to choose between two people who both fall short of our ideals. It is, however, in my judgment a situation in which there is one candidate who has brought an extraordinary set of qualities to the House.

We asked Dennis for help with an immigration problem. His office said he no longer does that.Now we read hes helping a woman from the Ukraine. Does one have to be from the Ukraine to get help here? No thanks Dennis.
A house full of Democrats.
Dennis! Sucks!
Actually, I’m wrong. Cleveland has been doing fantastic under the wonderful leadership of Dennis in recent years. In fact, he’s been so busy helping us he has not had any time to make ill-advised, hopeless runs at the Presidency of the United States of America.
Dennis – Here for you until something else I’d rather do comes along.
