Setting the record straight: Kucinich said NO on a $3/gal gas tax

[Desertrose]

This post is wrong.


DK says clearly on this Youtube vid...NO to the $3 gallon gas tax.

Beginning around 2:45



Peace

1. thank you for clarifying this...recommended

it is bad enough when something is misinterpreted for the sake of political spin... but it is more than unacceptable when a patently false claim is made.

[Desertrose]

2. Thanks...when its clear on the video

I hate to see the lies keep rising to the top here.

Dennis has a hard enough time being heard...at least we can try to be truthful & accurate.
Thanks :)

21. This post is false
Kucinich answered no to the 3$/gas tax question.

I think a gas tax a good idea, but I also think Edwards house is bad for the environment so I am in the minority.

36. THANK YOU & all other candidates said YES to smoking ban
except Clinton and Obama who said they would prefer to have local bans and see the outcome first.

Here's that video, start at 5:25.

Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Kucinich and Gravel all raised their hands in response to the question. When Russert was doing the second summary and moving on to the next question, Edwards wanted to join the other five.

12. I was the OP in the other thread, and I stand corrected.

I'll admit it when I'm wrong. I could have sworn I heard DK answer yes on the $3/gal. tax question. I was mistaken.

DK did, however, advocate a national ban on smoking in all public places, and lowering the drinking age to 18 and the VOTING age to 16. I'm not too excited about any of those proposals.

16. Thanks,dbaker...'preciate it.

Yeah about lowering the drinking age to 18...not really sure about that myself. I know kids already do it but not sure how well that would work in the US.


Voting at 16....hopefully if that gets passed there would be a lot of changes and education to go with it.


Nat'l ban on smoking.....see both sides, but as a non-smoker (who grew up with parents who were both heavy smokers)...I would welcome it,but not sure if its fair. Bars wouldn't like it!

18. Yet you single Dennis out AGAIN on this thread when 5 others

gave the same response on the smoking ban? As for the drinking age at 18 I agree with Dennis, it is about teaching our children to be responsible. They can be taught to kill at 18 or be killed, yet cannot legally have a drink of alcohol? The children that are 16 and 17 are the same children that could be drafted to fight the next war, maybe they should have a say? Most high schools and many grammar schools discuss the Presidential Election, the candidates and the issues, what a great time to get them involved in not only discussing, but actually taking part in the political system. They might remain more involved, I like the idea.

21. You should edit your original post

to indicate that Dennis did not support the $3 gas tax, IMHO.

Go Dennis! :woohoo:

20. Isn't this used to slur Democrats EVERY election? Clinton, Mondale, Carter, Gore

I've heard is used against them all.

This one is so old that is was invented when Rove still had hair!

22. Careful, the truth might get in the way of the Kooch-bashing! (nt)

[tomp]

26. you got it! the kucinich bashers are stepping it up.

for a guy who's so unelectable he's sure drawing a lot of fire. what are they worried about?

[Stevepol]

23. DK also said he wouldn't go for this in the last debate when asked

directly by Tim Russert
