Rep. Kucinich to Dem. Leadership: "Stand Up" to Pres. Bush

On Oct. 10, 2007, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) demanded that the Democratic leadership "stand up" to President George W. Bush, with respect to ending the illegal and immoral war in Iraq. He underscored how the Democrats won the election in 2006 by promising the American people that they would end the war if they gained control of the U.S. Congress. Rep. Kucinich, in taking sharp exception to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's views on ending the conflict, said: "You don't need another vote...another Bill to end this war. There is money available today to bring the troops home...There are men and women [our troops] dying right now [in Iraq]...This was a war based on lies..." He added that a "similar path of lies" are being laid to take the country into a war with Iran. Rep. Kucinich's remarks were made at a press conference, held on the Cannon Terrace, in Washington, D.C. For background, see: http://kucinich.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=76042.

This man is what an America Hero looks like, and acts like.

He deserves our support.

And we need to apply heavy pressure upon our elected officials to get the job done or resign. It's becoming a "SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT" moment for America's imbecilic leaders.

This man's the next JFK. All you have to do is tell people that. You can also tell them he will be the best president since FDR. That should work too.

Listening to him speak fired me up. I don't know about you but we need someone like that who can make us confident that we can change. Every other candidate has this fluffy talk with nothing behind it about change. I'm through with that kind of crap.

Scalecat, I like Dennis Kucinich, too. Did you know that last night he presented 35 Articles of Impeachment against President Bush (it was on C-span). BTW, Ron Paul isn't racist--that's propaganda you've been hearing. Nelson Linder NAACP, Austin Texas, who's known Paul for many years, says he's NOT racist. Here on youtube: watch? v=PvFLS wDvBUA & feature = related (remove the spaces between). Kucinich and Paul are friends.

I am a soldier in the United States National Guard. And for you to say give war a chance, how come my fellow soldiers don't deserve a chance to be with their families? Why don't the Iraqi people deserve the chance to take care of their own country? Your words turn your back on the troops.

ytpro27- Stand for what you believe- go join the marines, or better yet the National guard since their Humvees don't have amour.

Kucinich is a douche and everyone knows it!

Vote democrat and see how quickly we become apathetic, socialistic pussies like the Europeans!

Give war a chance! Down with Islamic fascism!

[demurish]

Dennis Kucinich = Sanity.

Isn't it time for sanity?

[caltemps]

Dennis, Dennis, Dennis, I fear for your life! ESPECIALLY if we elect you (which I hope we do!) You're going to have to spend the rest of your life behind a bullet-and-bomb-proof shield. Those who "need" WAR and INJUSTICE to keep themselves FILTHILY rich will stop at NOTHING! (They got Jack, Bobby, Martin, and John...)

And if Dems REFUSED to pass a bill authorising continued funding, Bush hasn't got the money to continue the slaughter of Americans AND Iraqis. "War Is Over (If You Want It)" - [John Lennon] It's as easy as that. STOP VOTING FOR DEM WIMPS!!! (Vote for REAL Dems)
