Kucinich 6-14-03
Taft High School Woodland Hills CA
Congressman Kucinich spoke to a lively group of several hundred. The event was sponsored by Valley Democrats United.


Below are excerpts from the speech and Q and A session.

“Any government that would lead a nation into war under false pretenses is not a legitimate government…”

“Let’s remember what we were told, we were told that there was immanent threat and our country had to move quickly to meet it…”

“Maybe the immanent threat that this administration forced the congress to address in October of 2002; Could it be that the real immanent threat was the possibility that November of 2002 a democratic congress was going to be elected…”

“Did they want to come to California to talk about Enron… did they want to explain the corruption of the regulatory process that Enron represented. Did they want to explain the corruption of Wall Street that occurred and Enron was emblematic of? Did they want to have to explain the millions of American that are out work because of their failed economic policies? Did they want to have to explain the fact that so many people in this country don’t have any health insurance… Did they want to try to explain why the American economy was sputtering? No! They didn’t want to explain any of it, so what did they do, they drove us into an unnecessary war in order to change the subject so the American people would for a moment forget about the rest of it!”…

“In this case 400 billion dollars has been authorized for the Pentagon in this new budget and with the treasure of the nation and sacrifice education and health care and all the other pressing needs. You cannot do that unless there is a supreme national emergency, but this Administration took advantage of the concerns of America. This Administration drummed up and propelled the fears of America. This administration capitalized on those fears. This Administration drove us to war. This Administration caused us to spend countless million of dollars on a war we did not have to fight at the cost of many lives, innocent lives and the men and women who serve this country and this ADMINISTRATION MUST BE CALLED FOR A ACCOUNTING…”

“We had the heart of the world open to the United States After 911. They’re was great sympathy for Americans the loss of live great tragedy … the nations of the world were ready to cooperate with America. We squandered the support of the world community. As president of the United States, I intend to lead us back to cooperation… ”

“Fulfill The Promise of The Non-Proliferation Treaty…”
“Work with the community of nations for total nuclear disarmament.”


“This Country Can Set a Powerful Role for Setting the Terms For Trade…”

“Let me tell you that right now the United States has lost hundreds of thousand of manufacturing jobs because we had basically given up our authority for world trade. We had basically when we signed the North American Free Trade Agreement have let corporations create circumstances in this country… That have driven down wages, that have driven down benefits, that have knocked out unions, that have made impossible for people to organize, that have caused jobs to move out of this country… To where workers are sometimes less able to defend their interests… When I see that NAFTA has contributed to the destruction of our vital social fabric of this country, I pledge this my friends that my first act in office will be to cancel NAFTA.”

Poor guy - can't afford a good toupee.

What a loser. He's gotta be the worst mayor in Cleveland's history (and they've had some bad ones).

It's mind boggling and scary to imagine this no-talent wrong-headed mental midget as President of these United States. It's even more scary than Al Gore, Ralph Nader, or Hillary Clinton.

We have a good president now. We're still in recovery mode after the Clinton debacle. Why would we want to put someone like this into a job where he'd be way over his head?

Fortunately, the voters aren't that dumb.

Bush resigns citing over arching family commitments.
Supporters reject allegations that ineffective handling of the “Clinton Debacle” led to the step down.

that garage door and BA arn't the sme idiot. They are.

How did you know that?

everybody knows that... : )

Good work Builder!

In New Hampshire, Kucinich is staying even with Carol Moseley Braun, Wesley Clark, and Al Sharpton, while having only half as much support as Bob Graham.

A more accurate title to this thread:

Kucinich -- another reason for voter apathy

Newton -- another reason for mandatory sterilization.

We hate Muslims. Join us.

Dennis Kucinich is the one candidate with integrity.

He is the one candidate that cannot be in any way compared to GW Bush.

He is the one candidate that is intent on helping this nation to reclaim the populist mantle that's been missing since FDR.

He is the only candidate who voted against both the IWR and the Patriot Act.

He is the only candidate who will get out of the free-trade agreements which are ruining our country.

Dennis Kucinich deserves your vote.

If you are dissatisfied with the right-wing direction the Democratic Party has been moving in, cast a vote in the primaries for Kucinich. Some states require that you register as a Democrat first, so please check that out.

Send a message that you DON'T want to follow the right wing toward fascism.

Vote for Peace. Vote Kucinich.

The good news on Dennis Kucinich is that he doesn't have a prayer. There is no way a creep like Dennis could ever be elected President of the United States.

Even though our democratic system is screwed up we've never elected anyone that bad. Our biggest screwup was Bill Clinton and I don't think we'll ever do that again.
