Kucinich a Big Winner Today, Democratic Party a Loser Once More


Dennis Kucinich didn't manage to get Articles of Impeachment passed against Vice President Dick Cheney today but he sure got his point across. The Cleveland area Congressman is slowly picking up steam for his Presidential aspirations because his ideals are a modern day profile in courage. He voted against the war when it meant his political life but was proven correct in his position. Iraq proved to be a bloody mess that was orchestrated, not because of weapons of mass destruction or that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat, due to the GOP's war mongering propaganda. That was the vote was about today and again his Democratic colleagues were afraid to go vote with their consicience. In the end, Kucinich came out smelling like roses because the GOP took the bait. They wanted to debate the issue to "show the Dems up" and boy wouldn't that have been fun. The Democrats, afraid of political backlash if the debate actually took place, quickly moved the resolution to the Judiciary Committee.

The articles of Impeachment will move to the a committee where they will probably die a slow death. While Kucinich's resolution won't pass or be debated in the full House of Representatives, one imagines that he most likely picked up a lot of strong public support. Dick Cheney has an approval rating at record lows and his "boss" George Bush set a Gallop Poll Record today with a 50% "Strongly Disapprove" rating. Where are the Democrats who, in the 2006 elections, were voted to stop the war and have the moxy to actually lead the country out of war? It seems they put their tails between their legs and scurry at any hint of confrontation. Three in four Democrats, and a majority of all Americans, favor impeaching the vice president. Isn't the legislatures job to listen to their constituents? Isn't this the basis of democracy?

It may surprise you but Dennis Kucinich and his latest run for the White House is actually doing pretty well. Kucinich is running fourth in polls nationally and placed second in a major Californian straw poll vote. Maybe the Democrats should start paying attention and the approval numbers of Congress, who most in the nation view as unfavorable, will start going up for a change. Start listening to the electorate. That would be a major change with this "democracy " that is getting tiresome to say the least.

If you haven't been paying attention, Kucinich is now 4th in the nationally polling. In the big media his name still bears the label as a "long shot candidate" but the more reasonable people actually see what Kucinich actually stands for the better his chances become. For the record, Congressman Kucinich favors universal health care, college education for free, the end of NAFTA, and peace over war. Those things don't sound bad to me.

Kucinich 08

Anyone would be a fool to not vote for Kucinich. This man has more balls than all the others put together. Eliminating NAFTA would be one of the best things he could do for America. No more poison from China , and other cheap imports. At least he made a stand , and put the truth out there for all to see. Clinton , and Obama are just in the limelight for now , but I can see a change in the polls soon. We need an honest president , not a person that got elected for popularity. This is beyond High School prom king , and queen BS. This is about the future of America.

Honesty is Key

I agree so strongly with the poster that says we need an honest president. How can you even have a debate, or talk about policy if people aren't telling the truth. Kucinich is incredible, he's honest, thoughtful, and caring. My slight disagreement is when the poster says it's about the future of America, well yeah, but that misses the mark. This is about the future of the world.

All I have to say is,

All I have to say is, "Finally- a real person running for President!"
It's quite refreshing.

I agree.. Dennis Kucinich is

I agree.. Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate who is truly for the people..a true statesman, that's what describe him.

courage of conviction

Dennis Kucinich is the bravest soul I have heard of in years. He gives me hope. We all need to get up off of our butts and hit the streets with this promising man, he isn't just talking about it, HE'S DOIN'IT!

Kucinich '08

He is the best candidate in many years. He has my vote and my support!

People, get together and help Dennis out!

He is fighting for our Constitution for cryin' out loud.

Go Dennis Go!

Go Kucinich!

Dennis Kucinich represents the views of the average American. We have way too many candidates that only care for the lobbyists and special interests money.

Lets put an end to the trampling of our constitution under the Bush/Cheney regime.

Go Dennis!

AVERAGE?

Dennis Kucinich represents the average American about as much as Karl Marx does.

The average American does not want socialism. Hell, I am not certain Dennis Kucinich even represents the average person in his own DISTRICT!

Doesn't represent Average Person?

You must be a no news news media buff since you don't have a clue what you are talking about. There isn't anyone running who better represents the "average American" than Dennis Kucinich. Dennis wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has been poor and worked hard to get to where he is. What he doesn't represent is the corporate elite and the global elite such as the Bilderbergs, the Trilaterist, Council on Foreign Relations etc etc etc... who are the ones ruining everything here and around the globe with their control goals driven by their greed. He believes in diplomacy with our global communities, not war, aggressive actions and genocide.
If you're happy with the mess this Nation is in, the demise of anything resembling Democracy, our constitution shredded, our people dying on foreign soil for nothing more than to make the rich richer and to further their goal to takeover the globe then vote for someone else and continue with your head in the sand. And be sure not to research and enlighten yourself, just continue to suck up the propaganda and the brainwashing and to make remarks that prove you don't have a nodding aquaintance with any facts or even with reality..

I agree as well, Denis

I agree as well, Denis Kucinich is a pure statesman, and truly cares about the American people.

How is it Clinton lies about a BJ and impeachment is #1 priority, but you know Bush/Cheney CO. lies close to 4000 die and still NOTHING?

How America lives in their ignorance.

I agree!

Don't forget over a million Iraqis have also died because of Bush/Cheney's lies.

Thank you. Kucinich for "keeping it real" - the Constitution tha

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Please keep up the fight with the HJC to get some traction on this impeachment.

Thanks again.

Thank You Congressman

Thank You Congressman Kucinich. You have passed the TEST. You will definitely get my vote. As far as those Democrats in Congress without any back bone; I will not vote for any of them. I would rather vote independant or green party.

HR 333

Thank you for your courage and for placing ethics over politics (an oxymoron if ever there was one). I am grateful.

Now a question: having reached the Judiciary Committee, why does this web site predict defeat for HR 333? Conyers authorized the Committee to investigate articles of impeachment against Bush and published it last year. If Cheney's iffy, Bush is a sure bet.

Go Dennis

I'll vote for Dennis but I won't be voting for any more Democrats. Sadly, I can count on a Republican being a Republican.

This Democratic leadership is the biggest joke ever. They will manage to squander this amazing lead and loose in 08. Deservedly so.

impeaCheney on 9/11 treason/obstruction

HR 333 needs a fourth clause added. The morning of 9/11, Cheney was observed monitoring a plane coming into DC. As no military interception seems to have been ordered, Cheney is a suspect for treason. Then, he appears to have told lies about it to the 9/11 Commission: add obstruction of justice and lying to federal officials!

It is sad to see how slow are the Dems to wake up to what this administration is guilty of. Heavy pressure must be brought to Conyers, who favored impeachment before he was named chair of HJC. Call him back to his true conscience!! 800-828-0498.

Cheney Impeachment Hearings.

I think this is wonderful. I have been waiting for Impeachment hearings for a long time now. What if we dig up zero dirt on these guys & they walk scott free on 1-20-2009. Even if we don't actually impeach, the hearings themselves are crucial. Zero hearings means they walk away scott free & they will then be back in 2012, 2016, 2020 etc.
Kucinich kicks ass. No one else running will even talk about impeaching & here is the one guy that actually wrote it up & presented it.
Next step is to call Rep Conyers & everyone else on the Judiciary Committee & demand that they follow through on the hearings. www.house.gov & then plug in Judiciary Committee to see the list.
And as for why the media is saying this will die....well, in my opinion we don't have a media nor do we have a Congress nor an Administration.
This is why I am backing Kucinich. He is on the right track. Whether he can win the presidency or not doesn't matter....I am backing him up...I cannot back any others...I am voting my conscience this time around. It's actually very easy for me to decide to vote for Kucinich in primaries. All the other Democrats seem to be equal to me...I don't care which of them would win if Kucinich weren't in the race.
Kucinich comes out ahead of them on so many issues that it's a no brainer for me. I am not throwing my vote away whatsoever.

we need dennis to win

my support and vote are for kucinich

Standing up for the constitution and America

I only voted once in all my life. I am 51 and each time I thought my vote did not count and the choices were really not very good. Now I am voting for someone that definitely deserves my vote and has earned it by standing up for our constitution!
Thanks Dennis Kucinich for standing up for my brothers who have died in Iraq and for those brothers and sisters (civilians) who have died in Iraq and for standing up for those who died here in NY from a tragedy that still is left unexplained and not investigated. I hear their voices calling for inquiry and reason and many are answering them with facts that have not come out from this administration or the media. Thanks to Afterdowning street and The Raw Story for keeping us informed!

Dartanian

Where do we go from here?

The surest way to get Congress' attention on impeachment is to send Dennis some money. A sudden jump in contributions to the Kucinich campaign will be noticed. Money talks!

Kucinich Represents His People, Not His Party

I'm glad that this article makes the distinction between the people who make up the Democratic party, and the people who are currently entrusted with the management of the democratic party in Wahsington. The two are vastly different in background, socio-economic status, and political views. Ideologically, the Dems are only a hair's breadth away from the Republicans. So the true liberal base of their party that wants political accountability, reduced military spending, no foreign wars, and increased social programs such as Universal healthcare, have nowhere to turn to except people like Kucinich who truly represent him. People are starting to wise up to that fact and his campaign is gaining steam rapidly. Look for surprisingly high showings in early primaries, especially NH.

Finally, a Democrat with backbone

Congressman Kucinich,

Thank you for standing up and finally showing the American people that at least one Democrat has the courage and backbone to begin holding this tyrannical administration accountable for the endless, treasonous assaults on the Constitution. The Democratic leadership obviously is completely out of touch with the wishes of the electorate. Thank you for your courageous move today. I've just sent a contribution to your campaign. You've won me over.

Um yeah. Tyrannical? its not

Um yeah. Tyrannical? its not the greatest administration, but a tyranny? Fuck off. At least someone has the balls to do something about current problems instead of sniveling about it. People like you should be frontline infantry.

Umm...I'd Say "Tyrannical"

is pretty "Right-On" when applied to the current administration. You can also safely and realistically add "criminal", "un-American", "corrupt", "vile", "fascist", etc. to the list of valid monikers.

If you are unable to see that after all that has been exposed in regard to this administration then that gives us all a pretty good indication of why this country is so f*#ked up right now.

This chicken hawk is frontline delusional.

The Bush/Cheney 9/11 attack should be the centerpiece by Dennis in HR 333.

People like this guy is afraid to use his own name. He and his group of traitors have destroyed America.

Its people like you that we

Its people like you that we are trying to get out. We already have leaders ordering frontline infantry positions to our young people.I believe pro war people should be required to go and fight in person. You vote for war, you personally go fight in that war."Not the greatest administration" is to understatement what you are to leadership material.

F**K OFF??

What a command of logic and language you have. Hmmm, and what division of the army are you in, dare I ask? Or are you just another mindless follower, not a thinker???

I completely agree with all

I completely agree with all of the above. Thank You Dennis Kucinich! It's with a sense of helpless fury that I watch Dianne Feinstein ("my" senator) and the others "Democrats" sell us out. Hold on- the ride may get bumpy here on out.

Feinstein is a friggin

Feinstein is a friggin Republican in disguise. If you watch how she votes on many things you should know that by now. She's voting for this Mukasey jerk for Attorney General who doesn't even have the sense to call waterboarding torture. Feinstein schmeinstein!

We don't need to be helpless

I, too, am beginning to realize that the Democratic party seems to care more about power than people. Someone has come up with the idea of a strike against donating to the party and to candidates like Feinstein and Schumer and all the others who do not support the people's wishes of ending the war, etc. Please go to www.democrats.com/donor-strike-2007 and sign the statement which will be sent to various Democratic leaders, telling them no more money except for candidates like Dennis Kucinich. By the way Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida is on the House Judiciary Committee and he is going to try to bring HR 333 up for a full debate. Please call and thank him(202-225-99840 and call your own reps.

Don't let the MSM dictate your vote.

The last time Dennis ran, even though he was my favorite candidate, I succumbed to the media telling everyone that Kucinich didn't stand a chance and voted for one of the other candidates. This election I vowed early on that I would vote for Kucinich until I couldn't anymore. I am praying that that day doesn't come until November, 2008.

Primary Voting

This is SO IMPORTANT!
The primary is our only vhance to tell the democratic party what we believe in, after that we've gotta "tow the party line". In the primary there is no such thing as a wasted vote, it's about showing support for the candidate YOU like best. When we each have the courage to do that, I believe Kucinich will come out on top!

PLEASE DONATE TO KUCINICH

If you want to see a real rise in the polls then got to the Kucinich website and DONATE to his campaign. I don't care HOW MUCH you can afford...$1, $5, $25...WHO CARES, JUST DO IT! It all adds up.

How about a million checks to Dennis in the amount of $9.11 ? Now THAT would get some media attention. Or maybe a million checks for $3.33 (H. Res. 333), or a million checks for $6.76 (H. Res 676).

If you want to defeat the big moneyed corporate sponsored candidates you are going to have to pony up. Until our election system is changed there is NO OTHER WAY TO PLAY in this game. Money talks, BS walks, so put your coins where YOUR support is, and I think we all know now WHO it is that supports "we the people".

Kucinich 08...Right Then...Right Now...Right For America.

I just donated $25.00.

I just donated $25.00. Everyone should send Dennis whatever they can afford. He needs our help, and our country needs Dennis as President.

Omitting the 9/11 attack from HR 333 is a blunder

It is unthinkable that Bush & Cheney would direct and order the 9/11 attack to sell the Iraq war to American citizens. Being unthinkable is not impossible. Unfortunately the unthinkable is clearly supported by the facts.

Usually the first question asked by skeptics is, “Why would they do that?” The 9/11 attacks have been the center piece by Bush & Cheney as their reason to attack Iraq. They keep stating it is their job to protect America from terrorists. They have stated repeatedly that Saddam encouraged, supported, and financed terrorism. They are correct. They also stated that Saddam was connected to Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden which is a lie. How many lies can they keep telling us before they lose credibility? The explosions heard by credible fire fighters in the towers is definitive, spectacular evidence being ignored by the official 911 Commission. How strange and crazy is that?

It was suspicious to me that after the planes hit the WTC towers and before the towers collapsed there were reporters at the scene who commented they had heard explosions. While these reporters interviewed fire fighters in, at, and around the WTC to rescue people in the towers the fire fighters also mentioned explosions.

A firefighter stated "it looked like sparkling around one specific layer of the building . . . Then the building started to come down. My initial reaction was that this was exactly the way it looks when they show you those implosions on TV";

Dan Rather said that collapse was "reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen [when] a building was deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down" (CNN's Aaron Brown and a Fox News reporter also made similar comments);

A Wall Street Journal reporter said "I heard this metallic roar, looked up and saw what I thought was just a peculiar site of individual floors, one after the other exploding outward. I thought to myself, "My God, they're going to bring the building down." And they, whoever they are, HAD SET CHARGES . . . . I saw the explosions";

Because it is so unthinkable to suspect that Bush & Cheney would command the 9/11 attack I failed to study the facts that concerned citizens had revealed for almost six years. It was not until around July or August 2007 that I watched a documentary titled LOOSE CHANGE that I learned facts that made it conclusive beyond any question that:

1) Osama bin Laden’s, Al Qaeda suspects were used to trick me.
2) American Airlines Flight 77 never hit the Pentagon because the Pratt Whitney jet engines that power the Boeing 757 were not in the wreckage at the Pentagon. *
3) We know that none of the passengers on Flight 77 ever returned home.
4) Wherever Flight 77 was landed, the 64 people on board were surely murdered.
5) Only an expert demolition team could rig the explosives in the three buildings that collapsed at the WTC.
6) Each of the three buildings collapsed at around ½ a second slower than free fall speed.
7) WTC security allowed the expert team to rig the explosives prior to the 9/11 attack. The bomb sniffing dogs used to patrol the WTC had to be switched with untrained dogs to prevent constant barking.
8) Only the Commander-In-Chief has the power to order the NORAD General to order his pilots to leave their post on 9/11. No General in his right mind would order his security to leave its post.

To simply assume that the unthinkable is impossible would be ignorant. There is nothing more important than to allow critical thinking by students about the most spectacular event since the assassination of JFK. If the issues I have raised prove false or lead to a different conclusion, then a legitimate effort will have been made by educators to teach an academic, logical thought process to their students. If American educators continue to condone the farfetched, nonsensical government version of the 9/11 attack they are underwriting the destruction of democracy in America.

I Agree With You

and Dennis has mentioned that he would be inclined to reopen the 9/11 investigation. I say lets get him elected first, and then remind him of his comments regarding another look into the issue. I am quite sure he would do it on his own though, without the need to pressure him.

Kucinich 08...Right Then...Right Now...Right For America

impeachment

Dennis Kucinich is what America needs. He has my vote! Everyone says they are looking for a hero, looking for change....they need to look at Dennis Kucinich.

Thank you!

I wouldn't put anything past

I wouldn't put anything past this administration. The crimes they commit openly are bad enough, who knows what they are doing behind the scenes.

You guys really are flying

You guys really are flying saucer fanatics and Dennis is way off by Pluto...

So what are you

So what are you smoking??
Dennis NEVER said he saw a "flying saucer" or a "spaceship" ... he said he saw a UFO (UNIDENTIFIED flying object), of which many others saw as well. As Dennis also pointed out, there is at least 24% of Americans who have also stated they witnessed UFOs!!
By the way ... Dennis is the ONLY candidate running for President who is standing up for IMPEACHMENT of VP Cheney ... this has nothing to do with UFOs!!
Maybe if you smoke a little more, you will might see the light!!!

KUCINICH the only real choice for 2008!!

Dennis is the ONLY choice!!

DONATE 4 DENNIS!!

he's a god sent! hands down the only one in politics that i've ever completely trusted and felt represented by. its obvious sooo many agree =) donate to make waves!!

My Money and My Vote

Dennis Kucinich is the only Presidential candidate to receive my money, both in 2004 and currently, and will also receive my vote, just as in '04. I have walked miles (blisters for proof) to talk to people about Kucinich. I have ridden trains to distribute Kucinich information at Peace Rallies. I have donated my money, my time, my heart and soul to the Kucinich campaign. What a reward to finally see him being recognized.

thank you for caring and

thank you for caring and listening to what your fellow countrymen think and feel, now if we can get more representatives to grow some balls.........

Dennis Kucinich gets my

Dennis Kucinich gets my support. He is the 1st choice of everyone I know; but they have been bullied (by Dem Party operatives and the corporate media) into thinking he "can't win".

I think we owe him our votes no matter what the press and lock-step Democrats claim to "know" about his chances. These professional prognosticators would like to take this election out of our hands entirely; but it's time to throw down the 'gauntlet' and vote for the person who is the BEST candidate. That "BEST candidate" is Dennis Kucinich (notwithstanding what the pundits and the molders of Public Opinion predict).

If not Kucinich, I'll 'go GREEN' again! The so-called "Democratic leadership" have forfeited any claim to my vote...the erstwhile 'Party of the People' has become a pale imitation of what it once was. It's time for GENUINE change...not the cosmetic change the "top tier" candidates insult us with.

I see NO point in voting for Hillary...or the Hillary clones we are told we must choose from.

Don't let Kucinich's effort die

Please don't let Conyers kill Kucinich's efforts in committee, which is almost certainly his intent. Like tomorrow. Call his office and express how outraged you will be if this thing dies. (202) 225-5126.

Kucinich for President! He

Kucinich for President! He showed the courage and strength necessary for the job yesterday.

The world needs our help!

They need our help in winning Kucinich the Presidency!

If you haven't already donated, please do! Even just a little here and there will add up and go a long way.

Also, tell all your family and friends about Kucinich. You don't have to be an expert. Just get them in front of a computer and show them any of his videos out there on youtube. As you know, Kucinich will sell himself.

Even if you just keep mentioning his name to everyone you know, the next time they see him in a debate or in an interview, they will remember that YOU personally told them about him and they will listen to him. Trust me. It works!

I'm actually not a very politically active person, but the picture Kucinich paints for the future is one I really want to see. I'm happy to make a few little sacrifices if it means a better world for everyone.

Kucinich 2008

You are so right on!This is exactly what I do and what I tell everyone else to do.He has no corporate support,which we all like,so we the people need to stand up for the only man for the job of President!Go Peace...Go Dennis!
