No Respect For Kucinich, Even Though Many Agree With Him

Rep. Dennis Kucinich opposed the Iraq war from the beginning, voted against the Patriot Act and has drawn up articles of impeachment for Vice President Dick Cheney. Compared with his rivals, he's been far closer to the views of his party's base, and on issues that matter, he's been years ahead of his competitors, who are frequently dragged along - kicking and screaming - by the grass roots. And yet Kucinich, who ran in 2004 and is campaigning in Las Vegas today , is more often viewed as comedy fodder than party leader or contender.........more

Kucinich Calls For End To Iraq War Funding

Dennis Kucinich told an audience in Hilo Thursday that Congress can stop the war in Iraq anytime it wants by simply cutting off funding. “Congress has the ability to tell the administration we’re not going to give you any more money, and this isn’t even a close question,” Kucinich said. “What happens is Congress keeps telling the American people that we don’t have the votes. But you don’t need the votes to do this. We don’t have to take another vote.”.........more

Dean: Jones Report Shows We Need to Change Course In Iraq

"General Jones' report on the weak state of Iraqi security forces is one more sign that President Bush's strategy in Iraq is not working. Our brave men and women in uniform have done everything we've asked of them, but only the Iraqis themselves can achieve the political progress necessary to sustain peace.

"While Democrats are eager to hear from General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker next week, there are clear signs coming out of Iraq that political reconciliation is not occurring. President Bush and his Republican allies want to cherry-pick the facts, but the way forward is clear. It's long past time to change course in Iraq."

Mitt Romney And The French Rudy Might Be Blood Brothers

Excitement is stirring in the (GOP) presidential campaign over a politician who's been talked about in the same breath as John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. He's Nicolas Sarkozy. Presidential candidates are bullish on him, some to the point of gaga. Even Mitt Romney, the only GOP candidate capable of insulting France in fluent French, thinks Sarkozy might be a "blood brother." John McCain has met him at least twice. Rudy Giuliani feels a special kinship with the conservative Frenchman because Sarkozy was once his country's top cop, and because another nickname for the president is "the French Rudy."........more
