Tim,<BR/><BR/>I should've mentioned that in the post rather than make certain diligent people drill through to the article. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Also, the "saying something so I can take it off the record" maneuver is congressional triviana, something I'm not too familiar with. One should be able to state a self-evident fact or two as an elected official, one would think.MarcLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036432624426967890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-83172551044945266322008-01-25T09:22:00.000-08:002008-01-25T09:22:00.000-08:00Agreed, Bruce, his election isn't the point, runni...Agreed, Bruce, his election isn't the point, running represents far more than just being right about Iraq. But it's pretty damn significant that he voted against it (I live in the only other district that did, Jim McDermott's). He's a political animal that is capable of sailing into the wind, and the article should've dwelt more upon that. <BR/><BR/>Kucinich represents a possible future for America, as the article does touch on, even if it weirds the authors (who are sex-help columnists) out a little.MarcLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036432624426967890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-59052137685788584652008-01-25T07:45:00.000-08:002008-01-25T07:45:00.000-08:00Good piece in The Stranger, but the writer is a bi...Good piece in The Stranger, but the writer is a bit hung up on the "because i was right about Iraq" angle. Dennis isn't arrogant about that, and he knows, unlike most, that there was no majority in favor of the Iraq war. The media portrayed it that way, however. Whatever support there was, was through an intense campaign to frighten the gullible. My paper, the AJC, no progressive rag, ran a full page of letters on the question of for or against invasion, selecting the number of representatives for each position according to the percentage received overall. It was about 70-30 against. Polls are typically rigged and otherwise slanted. My gut says it was 50-50 at best on the Iraq question. Kucinich wants to remind people that he was right to remind them that they were lied to by the people seeking their votes,who knew as well as those letter writers that the war was a lie and a mistake but was politically expedient. Kucinish is all about raising awarenessBrucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804474090239324668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-83710434069207961802008-01-25T07:01:00.000-08:002008-01-25T07:01:00.000-08:00Even across the blogosphere he is ignored.

I saw him speak during the 2004 campaign and new then that he is way ahead of his time, yet still is able to survive and do good work as a politician. I find that genuinely remarkable and admirable.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804474090239324668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-55377563160007063162008-01-24T20:53:00.000-08:002008-01-24T20:53:00.000-08:00And I love the fact that he's choosing the date of...And I love the fact that he's choosing the date of Bush's State of the Union Address to file it.
