Reply #74: If being obtuse is defined as quoting you... [View All]

Then guilty..you made the argument that Kucinich voted against a bill that would kick in just in time to help reelect Republicans...did you not? Refusing to recognize the meaning of your own statement makes you look like an ass

Kucincich knows damn well...at least I hope he does...that the option he is holding out for will never happen...the COngress of the United States as currently constituted will never pass an immeidate withdrawal bill...the only way to accelerate the day when that happens is to continue to ratchet up the pressure...which is what sane COngressional Democrats are doing...and making progress at...

So if he was sincere in his beliefs that the war should be stopped as soon as possible, Kucincih should have voted for the bill..rather than side with those who wish to keep the commitment open ended...

If he doesn't realize this, then he is truly either out of touch with reality, or simply playing politics...which he is not above doing
