Kucinich to liberals: Vote or surrender to the ‘forces of nihilism’

WASHINGTON – As Democrats fear a wave of losses in next Tuesday's elections, due in part to a lack of enthusiasm within their base, one progressive champion made an impassioned plea for liberals to head to the polls and and vote.

"We can get out there and make our voices heard, or we can let the forces of nihilism take over," Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) told Raw Story in an exclusive interview late Tuesday afternoon.

The Cleveland Democrat warned progressives that a Republican takeover of the House of Representatives – a likely scenario, according to election experts – could surrender the levers of power to "megalomaniacal neoconservatives who are more in need of mental attention."

4. Well, I hadn't seen it, so thanks for posting.
Don't think it can be said often enough anyhow. People do need to vote and then we need to put real pressure on those who get the job so they know who they work for and don't just remember every two years.

5. Some nihilism would probably be good for the US right now
Our legal remedies to all of the crimes of the Repukes have just about run out. The police, courts, media provide no protection or recompense. we are soon going to have to fight, or just give in.
