CNN, AC360 - Anderson Cooper Interviews Rep. Dennis Kucinich December 1, 2009

[rmccay88]

Kucinich said one of the most truthful things that I wish our corrupt CIA and corrupt politicians would listen to:

"It's not up to the United States to be able to chose the government of any other country, every single time we do that it ends up a mess!"

[quicknuss]

afghan war is just to make america go broke.

[CharlesZFG]

Antagonism between Senate & "Executive Branch". √

Political corruption. √

Overextension of the military. √

Constant wars and unchecked military spending. √

Failing economy. √

Unemployment of the working classes. √

Rise in "Mob Mentality". √

Now, if we only had lead pipes delivering our nation's water supply, the parallels between the U.S. and the Roman Empire would be complete.

[JrFLYnnIV]

Kucinich is a real Democrat.

[hamobu]

I like Dennis Kucinich, but he did not answer the question of what will keep Taliban from taking back power once we leave.

[19691200]

sell out

[StopMKold]

All I hear is Blah Blah Blah.... you have ZERO credibility after your health care vote....

[watercolorsoda]

@StopMKold I think there's a difference between selling out and trying to keep a conversation on the bill alive long enough to pass a better version of it. The fact is, he immediately went back to gathering support for a better version of the bill after it passed.

[ExhibitMan]

Dennis for president!

[nirvfan81]

GO DENNIS!!!

[DaveIrie]

Anyone notice how Cooper tries to feign confusion and concern wheh he asks disingeniune, propagandized questions?

[DaveIrie]

He voted yes for the war in Afghanistan?

[pvelectric]

It seemed the only way to convince Americans there was a shortage of oil, and that the climate was drastically changing, threatening homo sapian survival, was to cause America to do what it always loves to do, and does best: go to war somewhere. It's been planned for 40 years anyway, according to Jordan Maxwell, so why not do it as a jobs maker too. Althoiugh the best feature is boosting the dollar.

But now it's become too costly and time to end the mind game.

So go Dennis go!

[bbfmail]

I stopped supporting Kucinich were he decided to tow the party line and urged all in OH to support Obama. If he was really anti-war...why was he urging voters to support a candidate who said that Afghanistan is the "right" war, would not take the nuclear option off the table, supported the PATRIOT Act, refuses to sign an anti-line mine treaty, had no problem supporting RENDITION.

[Paolo7219]

Who runs the country? Follow the money. We spend HUGE amounts on foreign wars, empire building. And we have money for Wall Street bailouts--unlimited funds really. This also explains why there is such a violent opposition to health care reform. Our ruling elites are strongly opposed to simple, humane reforms for its citizens' health care needs. That says as much as what this country actually does spend its money on. Bravo Mr. Kucinich.

[KamikazeKoscki]

Americans are being taken care of, 30 Billion for this corrupt green bloody war is for the evil elites. We don't need more Americans dying for the evil elties, 8,000 troops were living in their cars and another 45,000 Americans die every year from no Health Care. We need to audit the FED, and demand our leaders listen to the masses of Americans that are outraged with the 13 evil families that really run the world, Devil & Vatican & Rothschild, Disney, Duponts, Collins, ect not to be stopped!

[DemocracyCorner]

It is good to see Dennis Kucinich now face to face with the man who fronted for the CENSORSHIP OF AN ENTIRE U.S. DEBATE AGENDA in our last election. After all, Kucinich was also censored by the CPD on NBC, sued and lost for his right to debate in the "public elections process."

[byan213]

Dennis Kucinich is dead on, AGAIN! If you track what Dennis Kucinich has said in the past, he is usually right.

[rjdyou]

I viewed to watch Kucinich, not Cooper, who thinks he's important. (I still have my 2004 Kucinich for President bumperstickers on my car.)

Regards, Bob, New Hampshire

Clearly your sentiments about ANDERSON COOPER obviously come from real patriotism and love of country. However, COOPER IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE HE REPRESENTS THE BETRAYAL OF EVERYTHING AMERICA USED TO STAND FOR. ANDERSON COOPER is the closest thing AMERICA has to a FLESH & BLOOD REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CORPORATE POLICE STATE! By his own actions, Mr. Cooper clearly stands for MEDIA FALSEHOOD and CORPORATE CENSORSHIP OF FREE SPEECH & DEBATE IN U.S. DEBATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE! It is deplorable!

[CitizenJury]

Did You choose You choose FRAUD? The most TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS SAYS, "YEAH!" But we say, we say NO NO NO! I'm not your at will citizen! (Excerpt from DID YOU CHOOSE FRAUD?")

[RawFoodKevin]

Kucinich said this on Bill Come On! OReilly:

It costs $1,000,000 to fund one soldier in Afghanistan. That same $1 Mil. can be used to create 25 civilian jobs at home here in the U.S. That's $40,000 per job!

30,000 more troops in Afghanistan, or 750,000 new jobs here at home?

Now that's nation building!

In hindsight, Kucinich's Department of Peace makes much more sense than the Department of Homeland Security, a fully owned subsidiary of the Military Industrial Complex

obama will be sorry for his bush like decisions

[mesarock2vh]

Coopers a closet fag!

[aunicornist]

We don't need homophic slurs around here.

[jekylfoot]

thats funny...

[eqsmooth]

Kuciinich is kind of a nut but I want the troops outta there. We need to be far less neocon and far more isolationist. Eisenhower told us this shit was gonna get worse. military industrial complex. Big business ruined America. We are done. Game Over. i voted for Obama and he's done too. sick of this shit.

[jeka100]

bush is nut. kucinich is just too smart for average joe to comprehend...

[bigsteelguy]

Mr. Kucinich i'm grateful to have a man to stand for the Constitution of this country, I wish they're were more people like you and Ron Paul in Congress.

Apparently most of them don't have a backbone to stand up for the people.

I believe no one wins in wars, and this war on Afghanistan is all about the Resources and profits, not about Terrorists.

Our country is in so far in debt i wouldn't be surprised if we have another 911 economic collapse, because of this decision from Obama.

[bigsteelguy]

On top of that our Dollar is completely getting devalued at the moment. Thanks to the Federal Reserve.

[jeka100]

get your euro now or u will be sorry

[EndTheFedRes]

Wonder what the CIA's cut was on the opium?

[maskedphrogg]

How is destabilizing corporate financing by halting the trade in opium and opium products (heroin) a bad thing to pursue or support?

The so called Taliban are credited with having eradicated opium production in Afghanistan prior to the Saudi Arabian personalities credited with flying jumbo jets into the WTC in 2001. Why on earth would anyone NOT support the folks that put so much effort into developing a nation to produce goods and services that are not tied directly to the global heroin trade?
