Rep. Dennis Kucinich continues to be one of only a handful in Washington who are not swept up in the politics of it all:
“America is in the fight of its life and that fight is not in Afghanistan — it’s here,” Kucinich declared. “We are deeply in debt. Our GDP is down. Our manufacturing is down. Our savings are down. The value of the dollar is down. Our trade deficit is up. Business failures are up. Bankruptcies are up.
“The war is a threat to our national security. We’ll spend over $100 billion next year to bomb a nation of poor people while we reenergize the Taliban, destabilize Pakistan, deplete our army and put more of our soldiers’ lives on the line. Meanwhile, back here in the USA, 15 million people are out of work. People are losing their jobs, their health care, their savings, their investments, and their retirement security. $13 trillion in bailouts for Wall Street, trillions for war; when are we going to start taking care of things here at home?”
You know you should have supported him in the primaries, right?
There are days when I’m convinced Dennis is the only sane person left in the House of Representatives.
Most days, I think …
he certainly hit the nail right square on the head!
Too bad he’s one of only a few who stand up for what he believes – and believe the same way we do on the issues!
yes, he’s right. but he’s been so marginalized, he’ll never get elected.
sad, but true.
