Kucinich took an important stand for health care by voting "no"

[LoZoccolo]

is a shit statement

[kenny blankenship]

1. Anything that comes out of your mouth is

a shit statement by association.

[SoFlaJet]

2. In his little Utopian world

anything short of perfection is just not good enough. He's just as bad as Joe LIEberman or any of the other republicans he votes with. Fuck. Him.

[stray cat]

3. As did the GOP and moderate dems?

[vaberella]

15. Yes. What separates Kucinich...was that he advocates for the people.

But he voted it down. The Conservadems(BlueDogs---whatever they're called) and Repubs are the same.

[WeDidIt]

16. The GOP + 39 Democrats (including Kucinich)

are all merchants of death.

[phleshdef]

4. Voting no was an endorsement of the crooked ins. company practices that the bill bans.

Period.

If you are so frigging anal about your support for single payer that you would pass up a chance to help ban insurance companies from dropping people, from the discrimination they engage in for pre-existing conditions and gender, for being exempt from anti-trust legislation, for jacking up people's premiums to insane levels that aren't affordable or any of the other things this bill would effectively ban, then you are just as guilty as the "corporate whores" you so dilligently claim to be a champion against.

[Phx_Dem]

5. Yep. Total bullshit.

If someone can't have their elective abortion paid by taxpayers, a person with cancer who has been denied coverage, gets to die. Yeah, that's fair. Thanks Dennis. Way to take a "principled" stand.

[Aramchek]

6. totally fecal

[Cha]

7. Kucinich took an important stand

for anal retentives everywhere.

[Ken Burch]

8. Great...another "shut up and leave it to the grown-ups" thread

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

You forgot to mention Nader, though.

[mkultra]

9. nader=kucinich

that should cover it.

[jefferson_dem]

20. Dude!

How dare you compare that Kucinich to Nader. The former is but an annoying narcissistic gadfly. The later, while veering off track in recent years, has an undeniable record of service in the public interest.

[mkultra]

22. clealry.

i shall be sentenced to 10000 explosions in a pinto for my crime

[vaberella]

17. You've done your own for the other side. Hypocrisy, gotta love it. n/t

[Odin2005]

10. +1,000,000

[Mithreal]

11. Excellent construction of an intellectual sinkhole

Don't get me wrong, I know you are an ally but this attitude fouls my temper. No offense, it is your statement and not your person. I am sure you and everyone who rec'd it is a fine human being. Just hard to tell sometimes.

[vaberella]

13. I could say something similar about Kucinich.

He voted against the people when he voted, "No." But I'm sure he's a fine person.

[Mithreal]

24. Faulty logic claims another victim

[joshcryer]

12. You making threads like this...

...is shitty. :P

[Mithreal]

25. They are shamed by people who put Democratic principles first

Win at any cost is their motto, no better than Cheney.

[uponit7771]

14. Kucinich's reasoning is not sound, letting perfect be the enemy of good and losing both is unwise

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. That's why he's our Michelle Bachmann. Dennis is a caricature. (nt)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

21. +1

[ProleNoMore]

19. I Stand With Dennis Kucinich

eom

[zulchzulu]

23. Kucinich's vote on health care spoke for those out there in the street...

...in limos of DC lobbyists who get their money from the insurance and pharma industries.

Thanks Dennis!

:puke:

[dionysus]

26. please don't try to be a spokesman for the cause.

i beg of you. go listen to oasis or something.

[Forkboy]

27. I love that he bothers you to the point of obsession.
