As if on cue, Kucinich and Paul team up to take the warmongering criminals in Congress to task...

This is why your slam against Kucinich is unwarranted. The man simply will not roll over and play dead. What about you Tim?

There are two people in congress that can be counted on to vote with integrity and stand up for what they believe. Although I don't agree with his positions, I admire Kucinich for having the balls to vote his conscience. The other person is Ron Paul, who will vote against his own proposals if they are attached to other legislation he feels is wrong. These are the guys that can't be bought. If there were more folks like that in office I could get excited about politics and democracy again.

Nice work, Russo. If you're elected, when should your constituents expect the selling out?

Rich analysis, Tim. Blaming Rep Kucinich for 20 years of Republican rule in Ohio and completely ignoring so many other facts like that the Democratic Party has done nothing about hackable Electronic Voting Machines and the Dems now supporting outsourcing our good paying jobs to brutal dictatorial countries.

There is no excuse that a strong Public Option or lowered age for Medicare not be in the final HCR bill now that Dems only need 50 votes in the Senate.

Mandates to buy expensive health insurance from for-profit companies is stupid policy and stupid politics. And I bet the Supreme Court finally makes a good ruling and declares it unconstitutional. What's next, mandatory gym memberships for fat people?

Obama and the Dem Leadership is going along with the dangerous alliance of government power and Wall Street. At least someone on the left is speaking some truth.

Thank You Representative Dennis Kucinich!!!

While the events happened 40 years ago he has still yet to accept that what he did was wrong. Senators McCain and Glenn know they had a bad association and they righted that wrong and apologized.

it's all about elections to you, tim. whatever it takes to get elected. well, the last year has shown us what democrats do when elected: NOTHING.

the only question that remains to my mind is why Dennis remains in the party.

Why would he do something he thought was wrong?

Dennis Kuchinich is one of the few people in Congress that I respect and trust. I don't consider him responsible for Ohio's shift to the right. If people insist upon remaining too ignorant and short-sighted to follow great leadership, whose fault is that? Remember (and I am SO not a Christian) the mob let the Romans crucify Jesus. The rich and the powerful almost always find ways to manipulate us to act against our own best interests.

I was a huge supporter of health care reform all the way up to the point where Obama rescinded on his three stated "bedrock principles,"which included the public option. Now I'm against passage of this bill. Here's why:

I think (tho' I'm one of the ignorant mob and am quite possibly terribly, terribly wrong) that the shape it is taking (without the public option and with so many concessions to the right) will lead us straight to the following scenario (which I believe is the aim of the GOP):

1. The bill will pass on a simple majority.
2. The bill has become so gutted and deformed by concessions that it will signally fail either to meet the needs of the poor or to contain costs.
3. People will become furious with the Democrats for having passed a bill that doesn't solve our problems and makes our lives worse (e.g., forcing us to purchase insurance we may not want from private companies that aren't accountable to anyone but their shareholders).
4. The Republicans will say, "See, we told you it was a bad bill, that's why we didn't vote for it. Look at what the Democrats have shoved down your throats."
5. And they will be, just where they planned to be, in the catbird seat. FOXy Loxy wins again.

Sometimes NOTHING really is better than something.

Please tell me I'm wrong and what I'm missing.

Meanwhile, thank God for Dennis Kucinich, who has principles and a spine, despite being a Democrat.
