Re: Dennis watch 2 - The people rant/respond
Thanks MJG, The first few show that at least those opposed to him know his name. Other than one calling him a liar about not running, they did not cite one act that they didn't agree with and did a good job of name calling. The last two were pro DK and I particularly liked this one:In defense of Dennis Some things are more important than congressional dis tricts or 30-year-old mayoral records.
To name a few: Ohioans Augie Schroeder, Nate Deyarmin, Aaron Reed, Christopher Lyons, and so many others who would be alive today had Dennis Kucinich been elected president in 2004. The Plain Dealer expressed disappointment that Dennis was running for president again, thinking his 10th District more important than the lives of American GIs who continue to die in Iraq. While 2,937 Americans have been killed and 22,032 wounded in Iraq, taxpayers in the 10th District are paying $748 million as their share of the war, according to the National Priorities Project. That money could have been used to hire 12,717 school teachers, open 115,555 more Head Start facilities, fund 92,595 university scholarships and hire 17,952 new public safety officers, to name a few. The urgency to end a war that most acknowledge cannot be won militarily is painfully obvious. If Congress accepts the Iraq Study Group's recommendation to withdraw troops in the first quarter of 2008, then, at the current daily death rate of 2.33, between 900 and 1,109 more GIs will be killed. What do you say to those families? Where is the morality in this? Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate who has the courage to stand on principle and not play the political games The Plain Dealer so blithely complains about.
