Dennis Kucinich: He's a vegan - not a menace

a cute, light-hearted, pro-kucinich article.

JUST YOU wait, you naysayers. Now he's officially declared - and once Dennis Kucinich is president, things are gonna be very different around here.

The only vegan candidate in the race (and the only vegan in Congress), Dennis the "Peace Candidate" will, indeed, prevail!


<snip>

But more than that, Kucinich's platform is livening up the Democratic race, providing a standard of idealism against which the pie-in-the-sky claims of other candidates can be measured. While his rivals struggle to reconcile their early support for the war in Iraq with their current criticism of it, Kucinich was against it from day one, and is the only legislator in the race who voted against it - hell, he protested it back in February 2002!

<snip>

(and the author makes a good point here and going a bit over the limit as the first two "paragraphs" are one sentence each)

There is one waffle in his closet: His ultra-nonviolence (and Catholicism) kept him thoroughly "pro-life" until recently.

Cynics may mock his 2002 conversion to the pro-choice side. In fairness though, abortion is probably the most complex and divisive issue around, and Kucinich's history suggests he's sincere. It's notable that those who tar him with "inconsistency" don't find the same in anti-abortion protesters who eat burgers.

Go Dennis!!!!

IMPEACH BUSH NOW!

VIABLE REASONS TO IMPEACH:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors. - - ARTICLE II, SECTION 4 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General John David Ashcroft have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial
executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States, by the following acts:

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of tens of thousands of Iraqis, and hundreds of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.
