DNC Putting Up Big Money To Get Kucinich Out of Congress
Posted in H.L. News, Main Blog (All Posts) on February 19th, 2008 11:40 am by HL
The Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and most of the rest of the DLC, and DNC hate Dennis Kucinich. He is the only one holding them back from completing the Facist takeover they have been working on for decades. These Democrats are especially pissed that Dennis is trying to impeach their good friend George W. Bush Jr.
To get back at Dennis they are investing heavily in some out of towner to go in and beat Dennis in his own district. Here is an interview with DK
Buzzflash.com
The independent media is a treasure, and we understand how important it is to access independent media to be able to have a viewpoint that is unadulterated by the commercial interests. … There are many people who are trying to get out independent messages. I know BuzzFlash is one of them. Cherish those outlets, because they’re the key to maintaining whatever semblance of a democracy we still have. …
Impeachment is not, per se, removal from office. It really says that there are serious questions that must be asked as to the conduct of the people who are guiding this nation. And in the case of the President and the Vice President, there is incontrovertible evidence that they lied to take us into a war. They should be held accountable.
— Congressman Dennis Kucinich

Many progressives lamented that the person who most articulated their values in the current presidential primary race was Dennis Kucinich (or John Edwards). But in large part due to media neglect of his campaign, he was never able to get enough exposure to gain traction. MSNBC even went to court to keep him out of a presidential debate.
Kucinich cut short his effort to raise fundamental issues of justice at the national level because trouble was brewing in Cleveland. In short, well-monied interests took advantage of Kucinich’s presidential campaign to back a candidate to challenge Dennis in the March 4th Ohio primary. So Kucinich had to suddenly switch gears from running for president to battling to keep his Congressional seat, due to well-heeled opposition who don’t cotton to Kucinich’s calls for corporate and political accountability.
We don’t normally do this, but you can help Congressman Kucinich by going to http://kucinich.us/ and making a contribution. And if you live in his district or know someone who does, help get out the vote for Dennis on March 4th. We need his fearless truth to power.

Well if Dennis was so good for the people than he wouldn’t have anything to worry about would he. But since he hasn’t been able to make it any further in the presidential race than he did the last time he tried I guess he really isn’t the “Peoples” choice.
Just one more career idiot out of office. That is a start.

Bill, who don’t you crawl back into you neocon hole? Obviously you don’t recognize integrity even when it’s in your face.

The problem isn’t Dennis, the problem is bog money in politics

Surely a sad state of affairs. I’m an Ohio Democrat who has watched Kucinich try to hold up the left half of the Democratic Party for years. He’s done nothing but fight for his constituents (ever since he was Mayor of Cleveland so long ago) and he gets rewarded by the DCCC with a primary challenge.
Though I’d be sad to see Dennis go, it’d probably work out for the best, because then Dennis would jump to the Green Party, where he belongs. I have no doubts I’d be right behind him.
