Kucinich Caves

"Up until now, we would say – the Democrats are a corporate party – with the exception of Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).

Now what?

The Democrats are a corporate party.

Rotting from the core.

Ready to be tipped over.

With no exceptions.

Kucinich’s flameout was spectacular this morning.

A simple trip on Air Force One – and he was gone.

He joined the corporate Democrats.

To support a bill that he – and the progressive Democrats – said they would never support.

He got nothing in return.

Kucinich supported an insurance industry bailout he said he would never support.

A bill he had opposed until the ride on Air Force One.

“I’ve taken a detour through supporting this bill,” Kucinich said this morning.

A detour that will condemn millions of Americans to ongoing suffering and death.

Disgraceful."
