1. Dennis is correct on every point. |
|
I wrote to my Tea-Bag Republicon last night and told him to go to his Speaker and get a clean bill to raise the debt-ceiling.

2. Middle class are the job creators, not the wealthy... |
|
We have a demand problem and not a cash problem for business.. So cutting spending puts a drag on the economy... So we need to put people back to work... We have been asking for this for years.. Only we get a jobless recovery... After Bush tax cuts we had massive unemployment and not job creation... Shredding the social safety net is the worst thing to do in this economy.... Thanks Congressman Kucinich.... Rating agencies sold themselves to their issuers, and hold the American tax payers hostage... We are a sovereign country... mint our own money and lets create jobs..
!. pass raising the debt ceiling.-
2. end the war-over a trillion dollars in savings over ten years..
3. pass medicare for all- solve many budget problems..
All of this makes good sense....

upset. Not around is he.
All the so called polls and there are polls every day, experts, for about less than 1,000 people to 300,000,000 here in the USA. OK did I say 300 million plus.

6. But, but Anthony Weiner showed his pecker. And and Michelle Bachmann says.... |
|
We have people like Reps. Kucinich and Marcy Kaptur, Sen. Bernie Sanders and others who get it. They know the root causes of our economic problems and how to fix it. Unlike these teabagging idiots and corporate whores who want to continue policies that created this mess in the first place.
Instead, the MSM spends inordinate amounts of time talking with the idiots who will aggravate our problems and emulate Ronald Reagan, whose administration is responsible for a lot of this mess.

7. Out of curiosity, what has DK accomplished as a legislator and where has |
|
anything he has ever said had any effect?
I like DK, but nothing ever seems to come out of anything he says or does.

Kuchinich is not approved by TPTB. Thus, you'll NEVER hear about any of his successes or accomplishments.

|
Edited on Fri Jul-29-11 02:57 PM by Larry Ogg
corporations hand picking 99% of the venal politicians that most Americans get to vote for in this pretend democracy.
People like Kucinich should serve as a reminder that there are alternatives to the pathological conservatives (aka liars, crooks, and zealot idiots) that we have grown so accustom to calling leaders.

14. Do you remember the Democratic debate... |
|
...back in 2007? When there were something like 7 or 9 people up on stage? Dennis had the funniest line of the night: when the moderator called on him, for the first time, 45 minutes into the debate, it was to ask a question about his religious beliefs. Dennis responded "I've been standing here for 45 minutes, praying you'd call on me."
Dennis is fighting the good fight, and I would vote for him for any office he chooses to run for, any time he chooses to run for it, if he was on the ballot in my district. I don't care if he is "ineffective" -- he is saying things that need to be said, and his apparent powerlessness is IMO a sad reflection of the near-total corruption at the heart of our politics.

18. Out of curiousity, what has Obama done to improve the lives of middle and |
|
working class Americans? Kucinich has kept TRADITIONAL Democratic values in the public debate and served his constituents so well that they keep reelecting him. There are few today politicians who can say the same.
Now that we've played "attack the meseanger with the same tired DLC bullshit", what do you think of the CONTENT of the video?

12. If man works, everything falls in place, sooner or later. |
|
"Businesses have the moral duty to create jobs" is the key phrase. Zionists, plump with Stimulus and being +20% of our economy refuse to create jobs punishing Obama's "Go back to 1967 borders". This creates a domino effect in the mind of America, ending on a blanket opposition to government--compounding the loneliness and lack of support of the black President. Because Teabaggers, Republicans and the ilk, they just shill for the Koch Brothers and Grover Norquist. It is a moral problem: no morals = no solution. Meanwhile, we bleed. We have to stop this.
