Dennis Kucinich Arguing Against Changes to FISA

[lemonrind]

I like to be wiretapped. It makes me feel special.

[Rennpanzer]

Dennis J. Kucinich: A National Treasure, plain & simple.

[tonylee1973]

I think we need an amendment that calls for the "seperation of corporation and state"

[ipotter9]

Yes, we all know this is bad. Yes, we know Obama voted for it. And yes, we know Clinton and McCain did NOT vote for FISA... just the facts, folks.

[knowfedirs]

I took my Obama bumper sticker off because he voted to not only let the Bush administration and the telecom companies off, but leave James Risen holding the bag for bringing awareness to the domestic spying. Nobody should have been let off the hook for blatant betrayal.

Hitler was only successful because he stripped civil liberties away. As this slowly happens to us, we'll then be unable to fight back against authoritarian corruption and greed. Compromise is inevitable, but that was betrayal.

[NaderRaider]

Dennis, you have such great courage! I am so disappointed that you are not running against McCain. Instead, the morons of this country put a the George Soros puppet, Obama in the forefront. You are a true patriot! OBAMA is a FRAUD!

[0420stan]

wasn't Washington a manson just like todays president. is congress work for the same as the lackeys of the presidents?

[filmdude42]

McCain and Obama support FISA.

Nader and Barr are against FISA.

who's side are you on?

[warhater]

Demonous FISA /Is very much A Nazi arrangement Can't trust gov't / When they haven't gotten A just judicial warrant They can call YOU this/Say yer a terrorist How long can YOU last In a torturous prison / Not a charge given No trial or lawyer for ballast Indefinitely / There, you'll lie Forever your sentence YOU'll cry & wail / Sit in their jail Gazing at a cyclone fence

[ivanbunny25]

Obama has betrayed us on FISA and is now back peddling on Iraq... I think I'll just stay at home in November. It appears their are no saviors, no heros, no one with a backbone and our country is lost. So who do we vote for next?

[HughieGphiladelphia]

RALPH NADER is who you should vote for! I was a major supporter of Mike Gravel and I now support Nader.

[Rennpanzer]

NONE of us should EVER stay home on election day. If you do not like whoever's been bought and paid for by our tragic two party system, take a ball point pen in the both with you and fill in the line below all the pre-packaged "choices" Last November, I wrote in Dennis Kucinich and I have never cast a vote more proudly.

[xiola6969]

If the telecoms use fisa to violate the civil liberties of innocent Americans they will be caught charged and prosecuted on criminal charges to the full extend of the law. Fisa only grants them immunity to lawsuits. The funny part is the corrupt thought they had gotten full license to spy on Americans with out being held accountable. They should learn how to read better. Money doesn't do you much good in the big house aka prison and fisa is not 100% immunity.

[CartoonDiablo]

It also gives the NSA a week of warrentless wiretapping and doesn't require that they take records of what their doing...

[xiola6969]

HaHaHaHa

The fisa bill only gives the telecom's immunity to those seeking monetary damages by the wording of the bill they are not immune to criminal prosecution for any action that violated the civil liberties of Americans.

[xiola6969]

I rather seem them rot in prison than take their money anyhow. In the end no American's civil liberties will be violated with out proper legal action taken upon the telecom's responsible even with fisa in place. Criminal charges will still stand just monetary damages cannot be sought.

The part is the stupid can never effectively lead,

TRUTH

RATM?

[CountryTonite2007]

If more people would listen to him he would've done alot better in the campaign.

[1000You2b0001]

Kucinich can say more in one minute than anyone I know. Why aren't his colleagues listening to him? We must fight the fascist Congress and get rid of all of these tyrants. Kucinich rules! There is no other.

[StellarMortem]

YES! The democrats are snakes!

The liberals passed it and now it's law

Obama voted for it

Hillary voted against it

[jondough83]

The constitution is just a god damn piece of paper - GW BUSH

When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have LIBERTY - Thomas Jefferson

[lbuchite]

This guy is like a pit bull once he sinks his teeth into some one he does not let go. He has a pair the size of basket balls.

[BullhornNews]

You had your chance to vote for this guy in the primarys...

Way to go America!

[c1magr8]

God Almighty! Why? Why? Why ... can't we have this ONE truly INTELLIGENT PATRIOT for president? We are led by a bunch of WORTHLESS, MINDLESS, USELESS UTTER MORONS with ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT for our civil liberties or freedoms. I voted for Obama in the primary but I doubt if I can vote for him now ... as he is starting to show his true colors by voting for this terrible piece of legislation. UN-FUCKING-REAL! We ALWAYS seem to get politicians who say one thing & do another. Shame on you Obama!

[ForestBrain987]

Because the Buildaboogers don't want him. That's why. Votes don't count at all.

[ficote72]

FISA=FACISM

Kucinich=the only guy you can trust in the democratic party

[alphasimian]

Goddamn this man is good.

Why, oh why, can't we get HIM for our Presidential candidate instead of Barack "I'll promise one thing, and then once I've got your vote, turn around and do the exact opposite" Obama?

[oz22verizon]

i hope that everyone whose representative voted aye is not going to vote for their re-election, these people should be thrown in jail

[bklynwriter718]

FISA Bill....hmmm!

[ronpaul2008rocks]

Go Dennis! You are my friend!

[shortpantskulat]

Kucinich for vice president - no one would do better for American domestic policy.

[GrownupPhan]

You go Dennis!

[kwestyunz]

Love this guy, a true American hero...

[Kucinich2008]

♫This is Your Moment. Impeach Bush NOW! Sign the Petition.♫

[spiralreplicator]

A true PATRIOT. Thanks

[Mapleleaffriend]

Dennis for VP!!!

Come on people, let's get Dennis up there as a running mate. We need him in the White House!

[MrXfromPlanetX]

Obama supports the FISA bill. I wish we could get this point across to Dems.

The best Dem candidates we could get at this point are Ralph Nader with Kucinich as VP.

[Delaware84]

I am an Obama supporter and I see no problem with the FISA bill, if used properly it can be a great tool. They are now trying to amend the bill so that telecoms are not allowed any type of immunity. So I say vote for it.

[Squirelbutt]

Nothing in government gets used properly. This opens up other abuses that go beyond terrorism.

[PoliticalFix]

dennis. you're the man. :)

[EmelinaChaCha]

Woot! Go Dennis! You are truly a courageous man who is standing up to tyranny for the people of this great nation. Looking forward to the next time you reintroduce the articles of impeachment. 60 this time?! More people are waking up. It takes time when so many of us slept for so long. Thank you for your endurance!

[jrigeli]

Kucinich is a whack job. The reason 9/11 happened was because our ability to collect intelligence on threats was greatly diminished. Congress is right to support this bill, we need the ability to thwart attacks. Anyone thinks that this bill somehow takes away their civil rights is ignorant of what this legislation is all about.

[vufizi]

We must DEMAND Impeachment or we are complicit. go to houseDOTgov SenateDOTgov RIGHT NOW! and email,fax,call your reps. Tell Conyers to IMPEACH! The judiciary commitee is here: judiciaryDOThouseDOTgov Send a free fax at faxzeroDOTcom ALSO contact Media and MAKE them report the truth: fairDOTorg Also look up "the prosecution of george bush for murder" here on youtube. Get people to see it. Get prosecutors to see it.

[SlackJawedJackal]

If a president could run for more than two terms, he would want a high favorablity rating so he could win another term. Two term limit gives the Wall Street's N.Y. Stock Exchange, the opportunity to shove it up the people's ass ever second term. They own both political partys. If anything is ever done for the people it's done in the first term. In the second term your ass belongs to the N.Y. Stock Exchange.

[SlackJawedJackal]

The scuzzy scum suckers, on Wall Street are celebrating tonight, because this bill passed.

Later this week it will pass it the Senate of Wall Street.

Government of, by and for the N.Y.Stock Exchange, just won a big one. Jan. 20th President Bush, will leave the Oval office, laughing his ass off. It's what presidents do in their last term. They fu*k the people royal. They're not running again, and have nothing to lose. It's why we have a two term limit. The system is rigged.

[SlackJawedJackal]

The President and All Congress are guilty of treason. They are aiding the enemy of the people of the U.S.A. The enemy of the people of the U.S.A. is the President George Bush and all of Congress.

These assshole's are shoving it up the American peoples's ass and don't give a damn. They know they, are not going to pay a political price for this. They are protected by the Wall Street's N.Y. Stock Exchange Media. There will be a black out in the news on this subject. No one, will talk about it.

[joemoe1967]

In the paraphrased words of the former Attorney General of the United States (R.F.K.) . "May I suggest that during the noon recess, the current Speaker of the House,and all other Democratic Senators and House Representatives who voted for this FISA law, read the Constitution of the United States!" SHAME!

[scorpianscorpian]

People who are for this bill are unAmerican, unPatriotic, and dont deserve to be called an American nor have that right to call themselfs an American. They need to exit my country in an orderly fashion and find a dictatorship, because this country is for those who beleive in the constitution and democracy .

[JohnMcCain4Prez08]

We NEED to:

CALL UP THE DRAFT and EXPAND the war in Iraq and KEEP it going 100 MORE YEARS!

INVADE Iran, Siria, Packistan, Lebunon, the West Bank, the Gaza strip, Sudan, Libia, Indianesia, Sowdi Arabia, Yeman, Venuzuala, Mexico, and Cuba, etc. Oh and yeah: FRANCE!

NUKE Iran! ARREST ALL Ron Paul supporters!

John McCain is one mean dude and will do all this and MORE and will KICK ASS and KILL for America ALL over the globe!

KEEP the Bush/Cheney dream ALIVE!

KEEP the Bush agenda!!!

McCain '08

[TimeSignatureManiaq]

Kucinich hits the nail on the head once again!

I'd like to see Ron Paul speak about this. Probably would say something similar tho...

[wisdomknight777]

Sad times...

[MarrForPeace]

Thank God for Dennis Kucinich. We can always count on him to courageously speak the truth.

And shame on all the spineless reps who voted

against our 4th Amendment rights. How much bribe money did each of them accept from the telecom lobbyists?? This bill better die in the Senate.

[sheepwshotguns]

and will lose both...

[SolitudeDemise]

Thank you Dennis for opposing this unwarranted bill. The American people can always count on you to vote righteously--unlike the many who oppose when opposing is expedient.

[Beeks84]

civil war?

[ponyboy316]

Isn't trying to hear every conversation, every fact, every bit of truth about as many people as possible, and to judge and condemn them on it, isn't that an attempt to play God?

[ephemerol]

Well fucking said, Mr. Kucinich. Shame on the spineless Dems who voted for this travesty.

[koolbreeze29]

Libs, Commies, Socialists, Democrats....not a dimes worth of differance....hey here's an idea for all you leftist weak tea suck'n worthless hippie rejects, if you hate America so much....just leave...we don't need you...but you won't because no-one will give you the free hand outs like good ol Uncle Sam right? Cradle to grave welfare for all...where's that writen in the constitution huh...it doesn't matter what it says to you, just appoint another lefty judge to over-rule the will of the people.

[ponyboy316]

Nobody said they hate America, only you did. Your opinion, and completely worthless at that.

Nobody needs you either. Kill yourself, and the world will keep spinning. Weird, huh?

So the handouts are why you stay in this country? I don't see what you're trying to say here.

Cradle to grave welfare is in no way against the constitution. What right does it violate? Please inform me great law wizard.

The will of the people? Why is Bush still President when his approval is well below 50%?

[dustynbones]

It's always been about corporations collecting data for marketing purposes.

[swinginpipe]

this bill better got shot down in the senate, or we got a real slippery slope of government, and big business ratting us all out behind out backs.

our government was meant to be for the people, and by the people. seems it's for, and by rednecks these days. if only all our elected officials could show the kind of backbone as this noble congressman from ohio. WAKE UP nancy pelosi! put impeachment back on the table.

obama/gore or obama/kucinich in '08!

[ZxEfR]

swinginpipe --- Yes....because we certainly don't have "slippery slope of government" now do we???

Please tell me your a paid govt shill!?!?! I'm not sure how much longer I can take my fellow citizens ignorance on the subject of "left vs right"!

GET A CLUE PEOPLE.....THERE IS ZERO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES.

If you can't see that by now then America is really and truly over.

Oh yeah the real America ended about 80 years ago....never mind continue about your rose colored glasses ways.

[tofumar]

FUCKIN-A, DENNIS!

[DaPlegrim]

they think they have the power to take our rights away? i guess they want to learn the hard way, revolution is creeping closer, hope it is diplomatic

[EchelonMonitor]

Kucinich is a true American hero.

Bush said in support of this bill that those who carried out 9/11 are planning a new attack--he oughta know.

[result321]

Dennis, SPEAK OUT !

Like a bee with thousands stingers :-))

You will be heard.

Love, peace and respect from Germany.

[koolbreeze29]

wake up you mindless sheeple...this guy is koo-koo for co co puffs...what a nutball!

[asdffd]

Mindless? Sheeple? The clueless assholes who are defending Bush/Cheney wiping their ass with the Constitution are the mindless sheeple.

[xusword]

which guy? Ben Franklin?

[xusword]

koolbreeze29 just said Ben Franklin is a nutball

Nice

[koolbreeze29]

Dennis (X-Files) nutball Kucinich....Ben Franklin was a patriot unlike your typical Democrat cut and run de-featists running around our country today.

[ZxEfR]

koolbreeze29 --- Wow...for someone who acts like they have a clue you sure have none. You actually believe there's a difference between Republicans and Democrats....LMAO

It's people like you that have ruined my country....so why don't you take your sorry ass outta my country you fascist scum!!!

I'm pretty sure your just a paid government propagandist anyway because NOBODY could be that stupid.

[silus2000]

There is a difference. They work together, playing different roles for the same cause, but there is defiantly a difference.

[ponyboy316]

Uh, Dennis quoted Ben Franklin. Did you not listen to the quote? Do you not understand what Franklin was trying to say? If you don't know, just say so. Admit your ignorance, but Ben being a patriot only GIVES support to Dennis. How is accurately and appropriately quoting a founding father insulting? Because you know you could never measure up?

[darkreign16]

I honestly think we should get the ball rolling for Kucinich 2012.

Under Mussolini, the government controlled the corporations. We've gone a step further--our corporations control the government.

[Richardgwm]

Kucinich should be President.

[blookup]

the msm is your enemy.

[DillonX]

I can't express in words how disappointed I am in the Democratic & Republican members of Congress who're voting against THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

I supported Ron Paul as a delegate to the convention, but now I'll support Barack - hoping that he won't totally destroy the Constitution as I fear McSame will.

[waveslider11]

I've had this sad image in my head of the U.S. Constitution which I swore to protect floating away like a helium balloon, with most my countrymen waving goodbye while unloading their new giant screen tv's out of their kingsize SUV'S.

The U.S. Constitution doesn't mean anything anymore, the only thing that does is being able to buy and buy and buy. Consumerism is our goverment model now at any cost.

kucinich, Dodd were our best hope. Sen. Obama who I'm voting is playing centrist on fisa. Sad!

[sasathi]

why???? why didnt we try harder to get this guy the nomination

[thisbarb]

HOLY SHT! This guy is powerful.

[Ngooo]

Kucinich is the man

[godlesspatriot]

hey look: a politician doing his job.

WAY TO GO KUCINICH.

STANDING UP FOR PEOPLE'S FREEDOM.

its a shame the public has ignored this great man.

[shahcrew]

not the public, the press..

[godlesspatriot]

unfortunately its been both.

but the press has played a major role.

if only more of the public did more research to gain knowledge on the candidates...

[lonny1956]

I wish he were my representative. Is he the only one awake?

[joeystockdale]

Dennis shows real leadership!

[bmyra]

The only real leader in congress.  I consider him my representative even though I'm not in his district.

[spokeshole]

This guy is a little putz.

[LiquidMetalBand]

Countdown to dictatorship has begun. The constitution is being torn about as we speak.

[c0c0c0]

Dennis Kucinich is a true American patriot! He stands up to the constitution once again!

[scumbly]

I hope you mean "for" the constitution. Otherwise I am confused.

[c0c0c0]

Yes for.

[moccosinbite]

Well, there goes the fourth....

[billheartyface]

oops..I mean rep...

[billheartyface]

kucinich is the only senator worth a damn.

[jvittetoe]

God, Kucinich just kills it every time. Love this guy's passion.

[bobbybobbinson]

Go Kucinich!

[Blargsix]

Kucubuch needs to be president damnit.

[Blargsix]

stupid laptop keyboard, N is by B, c is by N, you see what i did there.

[cymoril666]

I wish they hadn't pushed him out of the running. The corporate controlled media never gave him a chance.

[Joeey]

this is all about Mr. Evil wants to bomb Iran. Mr. Evil already bombed Iraq, wants Iran next. Mr. Evil has a LOT of Power and this type of bill is to keep people scared and controlled while Mr. Evil apparently is not yet through with their shoppng list of actions. Who is "Mr. Evil?" It is not one person, used to be called "neocons" but Mr. Evil is more than that. Neo-cons can be voted out but Mr. Evil is as strong as ever.

[Kilomph]

That was a solid fucking minute.

Stick it in their asses Kucinich!

[alacuter]

For some time now, I've wanted Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich to run together on The People's platform. Yes, they do have some conflicting paradigms, but one thing they both certainly stand for is the Constitution and the American People. Together, these two Patriots could give serious challenge to the establishment (sorry Obama supporters, but that man has been bought and paid for).

[Shadotek]

I'd love to see a Paul/Kucinich ticket.

[RickTJustice]

Ron Paul and Dennis vs The Establisment. Hero to those who see the war on terror is a war over our rights.

[cycimian]

I would love to see on Democracy now Congressman Ron Paul, Denise Kuchinich. Frm gov Jessie Ventura all in a forum Being Interviewed by Jack Caferty, Keith Oldberman, And Phill Donahue And Alex Jones.

There you have reps from mainstream and one Powerful Public advocate Alex Jones. To Bonus this i would love to see Ralph Nadar involved as well. I bet Fox would actualy break FCC rules and show the Paris Hilton Sex tape in the same time zone for retards and diversion

[bennybenners]

Dennis Kucinich has cast iron balls. God bless this man!

[pork4allah]

We Texans DO NOT WANT THE Trans Texas

Corridor. You can take your Skull & Bones, Bilderberg Group, EU, NATO, CFR, NAU, SPP, Patriot Act, and NWO deals and shove it up your rear end or better yet up Rockefeller and Rothschild's rear end. As his Father and Grandfather, President Bush is a TRAITOR and in violation of the Logan Act. We Texans want nothing to do with any of Bush's hidden agenda and secret societies. We will fight your NWO efforts because you bring chains to We the People's FREEDOM.

[raineydr]

Thank-you for the effort Dennis!!!

[burnodo]

Our country is a sh*tpile rotting in the sun. God bless America? No. God DAMN America!

[freekrolik]

we the people...

not

we the greedy corporation..

or

we the power hungry politicians

[MooseOfReason]

"Who has more items in the Judiciary Committee than any other Congressman."

That's the way you do it. But there wouldn't be so many if they got out of committee. Get on it, Conyers!

[ninjachick13]

Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul are probably the only politicians the founding fathers would approve of to represent "we the people."

The majority of the others are sell-out whore chicken-shitbags.

Go Dennis and Ron!!! Don't let up on these soulless traitors!

[darkally]

Rock on dennis!

[kuhnigget]

Congressman Kucinich is the one shining light in the House. Too bad his words fall on deaf ears.

[BlackKingX]

I hope Dennis Kucinich is Obama's Vice President.

[RationalLiberty]

barack obama supports this bill

[stone1home]

Well, at least one damned politician has maintained sense and courage.

[gobigorange99]

Way to go Dennis!!!

[mexcurmudgeon]

Go Dennis! Stop fascism COLD!
