IS THIS THE BEST WE CAN DO! Congressman Dennis Kucinich

[PlayingBetter]

This Ohio Congressman --- Dennis kucinch-- says we should not have a health care that makes a profit as a business --implying that making a profit from providing health care is a bad idea -- so other businesses that provide a service to us --- plumbers electricians carpenters lawyers maybe could pitch in also and not seek profits either

[PlayingBetter]

why not have the government provide all services that we need so we wouldn't be taken advantage of by all those seeking a profit -- how about those profit seeking Gas Stations -- and grocery stores --we have a need for food and gas and why

should we have to be victimized by a profit making business

[Avidsh21]

DK Rocks!!

What is wrong with this Congress???

[Ccarboney]

i odnt get it

[johnnyappleseedism]

democrat/republican = good cop/bad cop

none of them are on your side

[VICSWEB1]

you just sold us out. what happened to you. did you hire a prostitute and obama had the dirt on you.

[ButteWhat]

No balls and another sell out to Obama.

[ayethereztherub]

Holy crap, honesty from a democrat after a year of flailing BS.

[nenseyzy]

@ayethereztherub

Dennis Kucinich is a principled liberal.

I know that's generally an oxymoron, but in his case it isn't. Dennis Kucinich sticks by his views, and doesn't let party affiliation get in the way. the only time I've seen him break was on the health care bill. He agreed with the Republicans when there was talk that what Obama is doing in libya was unconstitutional.

[dingowarrior1979]

A democrat with balls!! Very rare

[nenseyzy]

@dingowarrior1979

Dennis is like that.

He isn't afraid to piss off anyone.

[xfeatherfootx]

Last honest politician in Washington.

[atheistforchange]

dennis is crying because his own plan wasnt accepted because it only maintained the status quo. boo hoo. i got what i want yay!

[Nmhumbug]

Go Dennis!! It's not even constitutional to force us to buy insurance. Although the constitution is not relevant to the Democrats.

[PNACATTACKdotCOM]

Kucinich is independent

[manicmetropolis]

kucinich/nader 2012

[heymisterderp]

Dennis is one of the very best that the Democrats can do.

Respect.

[signboyy]

kucinich is heroic.

[tacodreamteam]

We must say that if that's the best 'they' can do, then they have no place in representing us. We need democrats with balls. One's who aren't paid by insurance companies such as Senator Blanche Lincoln in my state of Arkansas, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, and Mr. Max "Max Tax" Baucas. Single payer may be dead for now, but it's the way to go.

[Cristoforo87]

This simply shows that there is no real difference between "the left" and "the right" or the Republicans or the Democrats. I'm with you

mexcurmudgeon, Bush & Obama are both tools. Different face, same agenda.

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

God Bless Kucinich !! 5/5 *****

[macrocosm144]

How did someone with a conscience get into our government? This man is a diamond ring in the septic tank that is our government.

[LoveToday8]

You tell 'em Kucinich!

Single payer is the way!

[du2vye]

The US public needs to decide what democracy means - majority rule and the popular vote or if it's an economic term meaning the corporation can do whatever it wants and has control (i.e. average people are too stupid or just don't care).

Tea baggers buying into the corporate myths are doing a better job of destroying democracy (majority rules) than the Taliban or any other terrorist group could ever hope too.

[sundanceandskye]

you said it perfectly...who besides the Cheneys are afraid of the Taliban

[enemigosocultos]

I love that last look in his face. I wonder who was starring at him at that moment?

[Navywxman]

Kucinich is right, the US is Government by the corporations and the politicians are bought and owned by them which is how I knew reforming healthcare would be a failure

Only strong political movements from the public will change things for the better as in the past. Not fake corporate run movements like the teabaggers which was about corporate power trying to misdirect fools who watch FOX & Beck to help keep the public as ignorant as humanly possible

Single payer works not corporate reform

[TheFrankFactor]

This fucker is RIGHT! Problem? Americans are to godam STUPID to get it! Tea-bagging dip-shits are fighting to give away their government to corporation because Glenn Beck told them so. The BLAME GOVERNMENT first crowd didn't get the fucking memo: GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE YOU! You fucking idiots!

[dunndidit]

It's not just teabaggers it's left wingers to. Most people on the the left will except crumbs as progress instead voting their corporate representatives out of office.

[Orion1232]

It's a simple question, people. Do YOU want to control your own healthcare insurance system, or do you want the corporations to?

[everett26]

Please youtube: ZEITGEIST, END GAME by ALEX JONES, and THE OBAMA DECEPTION...

[ReliableInsider]

Man's got a point.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

why do people think this wasnt just the plan the whole time? place high bids on single payer, negotiate down to public option, then go for the individual mandate. buy insurance or spend your life in a private prison working for 10 cents an hour.

[bigc028282]

I have posted for months that "they" will get whatever they wanted in the first place.  We get

HOPE in one hand, and BUSH in the other.

[ReliableInsider]

Royal,

I don't understand why you're so suspicious.  Somebody out there in a position of power somewhere must be in favor of creating a system in which access to American doctors and hospitals would be affordable for all Americans.

That's what the Democratic Party is going for at the moment.

If the Republican Party didn't exist, we would have already had a rational health care system and affordable health insurance even for the sick (!) forty years ago.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

whatever you say brother

[pthdy]

I wish Dennis Kucinich won the 2008 democratic primaries and election!

[CosmoZorzi]

chicken head kucinich is pro-united nations and he voted for obama hitler youth bill

[thequietkid10]

What good would that have done? Obama can barely push his agenda through, what pray would Kuinich have?

[mexcurmudgeon]

You seem to think that Obama has anything but a corporatist agenda. He's pushed forward plans to help corporations, has weaseled on the public option (after stating as a state senator that he was for medicare for everyone), failed to stop either undeclared, illegal war in the middle east, weaseled his way out of closing down guantanamo, continues the horrendous practice of rendition, declares a 'national emergency' for the swine flu? Obama's a tool, and not a liberal one, but a corporate one.

[PNACATTACKdotCOM]

after 5 year of NOT impeaching GOP Neocons - Majority people in USA can ONLY blame themself - BY NOT being Americans. Being traitors... USA will face destiny of USSR very soon (3-5 years)

[johnnyappleseedism]

@PNACATTACKdotCOM impeach? he didn't even win the 2nd election, how could he be impeached? they tried too, if you remember correctly. the establishment controls both usa and russia anyway. cold war was fake, the establishment tells its people that they are in danger, and they need billions to protect. both sides did it, while collaborating. they cant make millions of people fight, people have to choose to. "war is over, if you want it" john lenon

[johnnyappleseedism]

@PNACATTACKdotCOM also, bush isnt a conservative at all. his monetary policies actually farther left then most democrats. spend, spend, spend. neo-cons are there to ruin the party, the liberal side is right where they want it. one-world, nwo, which both bush presidents called for, fits the "leftist mentality" perfectly.  im an independent, so im not necessarily defending rep. as much as clarifying. the only way to fix is for us to run for office ourselves and vote for idea's not parties.

[cnbank]

1:06 After he finished that speech, I don't know if I 've ever seen a more pissed-off look.

Get'em Dennis.

[VariusMayhem]

I'll give it 5*.

[PersianPaladin]

Government should not negotiate with insurance companies OR pharmaceutical companies. Fuck the corporations. They deserve ZERO tax money.

[moediggity28]

fuckin a, over and over again fuckin a! get 'em dennis!

[CosmoZorzi]

the government has become a  tyrannical mobstrosity

[Cefuroxx]

that´s all any govt ever was......

[CosmoZorzi]

because they are all controlled and follow a secret agenda

[ReliableInsider]

Pharmaceutical companies deserve zero tax dollars?

Paladin, that seems to be going a little overboard.

[abortabraham]

Get'em Kucinich. This is the truth, its a scheme to fund private insurance.

[CosmoZorzi]

maybe the problem is the insurance industry and greedy hospitals who let people bleed to death on waiting room floors,infect 40,000 people with hepatitis c from dirty equipment-and over paid doctors who care more about that new jag out in the parking lot than they do for their patients

[abortabraham]

The government regulates the licensing of doctors which restricts supply of doctors so they can get a higher pay. It is the government that allows the greed to happen.

[CosmoZorzi]

i dont know about that- you make the grades, you pay for the schooling, you are going to be hired somewhere. if you blame the government for your own greedy selfish habits then you are a mega-sheep and deserve free membership to obamas state sponsored eugenics program

[glenisah]

well put

[JixMa]

Hear hear, Dennis Kucinich! God, he should have been our president! Obama is such a weak, lying, piece-of-shit opportunist who promised change in the status quo but does NOTHING to change it. Truly Obie was NOT ready for primetime. He is truly still wet behind those big ears of his. Dennis Kucinich is the man that would have given us all that Obie has promised and failed to deliver.

[invunchee]

5 stars

[millgiass]

The government can suck my dick if they think they can force me to buy private insurance. And they can suck my dick on that penalty too. I won't pay. I can't pay. Suck my cock government!
