Democratic Debate Highlight Kucinich 11-15-07 Patriot Act

[AStarSpangledGirl]

It is amazing to me how the freaking liberals over rode this man. He should have beat all of them

[K1ngZ3r0360]

hi anyone want to chat

someone smart please help me FQ

[Rennpanzer]

IMHO, Dennis J. Kucinich is a true patriot, a hero, and a national treasure.

[NYJared04]

Dennis was the best candidate the Democrats had.

[tadtadtadtadtad]

I like how right under Kucinich's profile we see "RACIAL PROFILING." Kucinich and Biden were the best choices for the people.

[ruleraddison]

I wish the best candidates would survive.

[musicallymotivated]

Ah, but I do love his idealism. I intend to vote for him, my kids love him, I believe his is the voice of truth and reason because he is not ruled by FEAR. Because of this I worry that his is also the voice that will be silenced when heard and answered by the people. Am I the only one that worries? Am I paranoid? Who honestly believes the power mad are going to relinquish all that they have gained? Will there even BE an election?

Be Ready.

[NetCaster]

Edwards is smiling, I bet that bastard voted yes without reading the Patriot Act.

[bethiscool08]

Edwards is always smiling. I think he practices in front of the mirror to look down-home and approachable.

[shellius]

Kucinich owns every debate he's in. But don't get Ron Paul mixed up with Kucinich, they are two totally different animals. ... Paul being a REPUBLICAN and worse, a libertarian Republican. They have little in commonn.

[njab2016]

Exactly. People confuse them all the time. I think a lot of Paul supporters really would support Dennis if they just researched WHY Paul says the things he does.

[RevolutionaryJam]

GOOOOOOOOOOO KUCINCH

[shootme243]

kucinich/gravel would be amazing

[blondieb23]

OWNED

[ilmarkem]

Dennis said it right, " You are owed an apology!" That is where I do not want America to be, in an apologedic mood!!

Let us get it right, I have confidence Obama will lead us with honesty ,integrity and most of all humanly

[Isaac707]

Obama is backed by wall-street, nothing will change man.

[ilmarkem]

Sure wall-street should back Obama since he will invest money into our own country. Advancement of technology - people can't afford the technology available- which makes investment a waste!

Obama will invest in bio-fuel technology

Obama will invest in education technology

Obama will invest in healthcare technology

Obama will invest in infrastructure.

eTc.EtC.

INVESTMENT and WALL-STREET go hand and hand!

Obama '08

have no fear!!

[ilmarkem]

Obama really is in noones pockets if you really investigate him, no dem party got him elected, no think tank got him elected, this man was elected because he truly is intelligent and caring.

[ilmarkem]

Don't get me wrong, DENNIS is one hell of an American and I love the fact he is standing up for the people, he is intelligent and yes I could vote for him. I support Obama because I believe he can do good for the people. He is knowledgable of foreign and domestic issues, he is Constitution smart, Civil Rights smart. Don't be afraid!!

[Isaac707]

Barack Obama and John Edwards call for swift withdrawal of US forces from Iraq. When it comes to Iran they roar in unison with Hillary Clinton that no option can be left off the table. In other words, if it comes to it, nuke 'em .---Yea, I don't want a president who so loosely can say that no option is off the table.

[ilmarkem]

Where and when did Obama take nukes off the table?

[apc3161]

Where will Obama be getting all of this "investment" money from? Some will come from the taxpayers, the rest will come from bankers in NY. Hence, they want him to be president, he'll take out more loans!

The better plan would to just gut government spending and also taxes. It is really not complicated.

[apc3161]

Remember, the government has no money. The only money it has it has gotten either through taxes (at gunpoint mind you if you don't go along them) or through borrowing, which just passes the bill on to those who haven't even been born yet.

Neither method is a good idea. The best method in my opinion is to just cut government spending and taxes. Let people decide how best to spend their own money.

[GeorgeHowkins]

Having a single-payer universal system will make United States a healthier nation and hence a healthier economy. Like on the other issues Kucinich was the only one to make the right choice the first time around; he coauthored HR 676, a bill for national health insurance.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Obamas a poster boy, Kucinich is the man

[njab2016]

Why do you support Obama? If anyone possess the qualities you just listed it's Kucinich. He has better policies and plans and if you just supported him he'd have a great chance. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I actually used to really like Obama (I'm from Chicago). But after researching his policies and campaign financing for this presidential election, I have been extremely disappointed.

[ilmarkem]

I think Obama has learned through his life, that passion and understanding are not enough. In the political WORLD nothing gets done by one man/woman, it takes bringing people together. From what I have heard from my former state senator Denny Jacobs and from others senators that have worked with Obama, that he does have a 'special' ability to bring people together, and that is from Dem's and Republicans Our country needs that over anything else.

[theghostofjohnlennon]

i think the potential power that kucinich has to bring people together is far greater honestly.

Anybody who is a pacifist, homosexual, mexican-american, environmentalist, wants impeachment, wants legal marijuana, wants the death penalty abolished, or who wants the honest truth can find everything they need in kucinich.

Thats why i think kucinich will prevail, he's been fighting for the truth since the beginning, something none of the others have done.

[njab2016]

EXACTLY! Dennis really gets it. I love when he says "These things are connected."  DK in 08!

[ilmarkem]

Anybody who is a pacifist -What dispute did our country have with IRAQ besides Saddam wanted to sell oil rights to European Countries against U.S.A. led blockade and also OPEC(a few members) wanted to untie OIL to the American DOLLAR AND can we afford to be the worlds largest spender on defense when we have failing bridges and schools???, homosexual - not that -and if I was, it would not be your business, "mexican-american" NOT all white Belgium and English,

[ilmarkem]

cont. environmentalist- yes I do care about our land, wants impeachment-Dennis backs this(see last debate videos), wants legal marijuana(legal or decriminalization, because it is my body and our jails are full of non-violent offenders and molesters/murderers are getting out on minimal sentences while drug offenders are doing maximum time - SURE(Dodd supported that see Las Vegas debate),

[ilmarkem]

cont. wants the death penalty abolished - killing is wrong - no matter who does it, or who wants the honest truth can find everything they need in kucinich - Definitely not from you though!!

[njab2016]

theghostofjohnlennon sums up my thoughts nicely. Personally, I think it would be a shame to vote based simply on a feeling that Obama possesses this special quality, true or not. Also, I think that politicians do have to work together, but unfortunately the compromises that have been made for years have now put us in a dangerous position. If anyone can get us out it is Kucinich who will NOT bring more of the same. Obama continues to offer more of the same despite his rhetoric.

[ilmarkem]

"simply based on a feeling" is not my only reason. He is my Senator and I have used his office, he is intelligent and simply put when you look at all running he is at least in the top 3, look at Republican polls also- he is their third pick! I could be wrong, but hey if Bush could make it, actually anyone could do the job! I choose Obama as my vote getter.

[njab2016]

I realize you sighted evidence of people you spoke to, and no doubt Obama can be a charasmatic speaker. But I haven't really seen him be the "unifyer" he claims he is. Kucinich, on the other hand could unite the world in a peace movement and unite the country under a presidency free from the stranglehold of big business.

[ilmarkem]

You have not looked in the right place, because I live in Illinois and it has been in the press over Obama's career.

Lugar R INd.

Coburn R OK.

Sieben R IL state senate

Denny Jacobs Ret. D IL state senate

[njab2016]

I live in IL too. I'm not sure that working with a few Republicans constitutes unity but this is besides the point. From your above comment, you are not just voting on a feeling, but popularity too? He is in the lead in polls (statistically inaccurate and the mainstream ones essentially are nothing but a reflection of a candidate's money) so you'll vote for him b/c of that? If you agree with Obama's issues, fine, you've obviously done your research, but I don't understand voting on electability

[ilmarkem]

Nick pick my reasons go ahead. Popularity don't hurt but that is far from my main reason of supporting OUR SENATOR. When you are in the primary with several choices electability is an issue, I have seen it in a local race. A man who ran for several years, I even campaigned for him never won..until the field was so loaded he was the one who squeezed out with the most votes... I don't think Obama is popular for his money. Remember the Convention. that is where his national popularity started.

[ilmarkem]

We will just wait and see. He will get my vote.

[lavis88]

Obama was chosen by the elite through The Council on Foreign Relations, which heavily influences American policies, which was started by the international banker, David Rockefeller. Obama was not chosen by the people. Kucinich, Gravel, Paul are the only ones not part of the Council on Foreign Relations.

[ilmarkem]

interesting thought. I am sure that almost all positions as high as say the President of the United States of America are kinda picked by some fairly high up intelligent (hopefully) people. Let us not believe that we just don't have any intelligence in our government ( the largest employer of the American people ) .

Point blank the ONE!

JOIN US

[lavis88]

I'm not sure what your point was. If your saying that we should trust our government, I'm afraid that is farthest from what you should do.

We can't trust our government. Governments should not be trusted.

[Hackiesacker007]

Ron Paul is the only hope left.

Because Kucinich is out, and Gravel has no money.

Ron Paul 2008!

Restore the constitution!

[hahayouarefunny]

You tell em, Kucinich!

We don't want someone shoving us into war with Iran just because they have the freedom to later say it was a mistake.

[ilovemytiara]

You tell 'em, Kucinich! He would make such a great president.

[KIDiotequeA]

Excellent! I still say we need a Paul/Kucinich ticket for 08!

[Isaac707]

Yea, Only in dreams. But whats that saying...Dreams come true? I hope.

[askantik]

Meh. I'd vote for Kucinich over anyone, but I couldn't vote for him if Ron Paul was involved. Ron Paul is the only candidate worse than Hillary.

Sorry.

[KIDiotequeA]

Ron Paul worse than Hillary? How so?

He wants our troops home from Iraq now.

He is against taking military action against Iran.

We spend a trillion dollars on our foreign policy a year. Paul would at least cut that in half...so we would stop racking up national debt and trade deficits and raise the buying power of the dollar.

While Paul believes in small government, he has stated he wouldnt oppose social programs if we werent spending money we dont have to wage an unjust war.

[askantik]

lol, gotta love the Ron Paul people coming here and thumbing down my comment about Paul on a DK video.

Ron Paul opposes pretty much every aspect of the federal government. He essentially wants the corporations to run the government... They already do for the most part-- Ron Paul just wants to make it legal!

[KIDiotequeA]

Ron Paul and Kucinich are friends, and supporters of each tend to be quite friendly with each other as well.

Why would the corporate owned and controlled MSM be blackballing Paul if he stood for their interests?

He believes we need to stop the big tax breaks for, and subsidizing of, big business.

[KIDiotequeA]

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are the only candidates speaking truth to power right now.

Do yourself a favor and figure out what Paul actually stands for, and in the end, if you still favor Kucinich; then good on ya.

But I cant imagine how you would paint him as for corporations and big business...thats just a failure to properly understand his policies.

[njab2016]

Well you are right to a degree. askantik has a point. Paul is for elmininating the governments' ties to corporate america. But Why? He does not want to limit/promote them in any way, but rather let the free market play its part without government intervention. The stance is premised on the assumption that the free market will be beneficial, but historical evidence shows otherwise. And personally, I do not think it will provide a solution to many of our problems (healthcare for example).
