Re: Kucinich:    it's obvious to anybody who reads the posts of quite a few below- the- line denizens that his announced positions were--and may still be-- preferable to those posters.

Especially any issue having to do with either the Iraq war, Afghanistan war or Guantanamo.

Anybody who remembers ancient history--2007 and 2008--should be able to recall all the posters who lauded Mr Kucinich to the skies, invented all sorts of conspiracies to account for his lack of success, and came grudgingly to Obama.

And judging by the constant sniping against Obama here--overwhelmingly from the Left-- many seem to still long for Mr. Kucinich.

Interesting that some deny it.



By the way, Richard, still having problems reading?   Hope it improves soon. I can't tell you how important it is to have your support and your vote as a conscientious American citizen in this matter. We certainly hope you vote the right way.   And please be sure to call your local representative--though it might possibly completely baffle him.



But if the American posters do not make it clear to their Representatives that they realize the Senate bill is all we can get right now and therefore they support it, these Representatives will only hear the --extremely strident-- opposition.

And Congress will continue on its merry way to solidify its status as "Do-Nothing Congress."

With obvious consequences in the fall.

David Plouffe makes the excellent point that regardless of whether the Democrats pass the health care bill now, or don't pass it, they will still be pilloried by the Republicans for the bill.

So why not actually accomplish something and pass it?
