waste of Congress' time with these 'don't be a naughty boy again, okay, now, what was that anti-abortion bill you needed us to help you with again'? nonsense.

Obama was right and so was Kucinich. He apologized, Obama accepted and we have far more important actual criminals who Congress does nothing about. It was nothing but a distraction.

Not a single word from Congressional Democrats eg, about the man who corrupted our Judicial System, Alberto Gonzales. Congress refuses to even hold hearings about Bush/Cheney's lies to get us into a devastating war or to hold the torturers accountable. Other countries are having to clean up the criminal mess they left behind.

Tell me when Congress is ready to even censure one of these criminals, and if Dennis votes against that, then I'll go after him. Meantime, he and Obama were right about that. Funny how I guessed something petty like that was what you really had in mind when you claimed, wrongfully, (glad you looked up since) that Kucinich 'never votes with Democrats'.

Over ONE MILLION Iraqis are dead! and 5000 US troops. When is Congress going to censure someone for THAT horrendous crime? If they had gone after Joe Wilson for his support of that crime, that would be something worthwhile. But this other nonsense is meaningless. It accomplishes nothing. He's still there isn't he, now a hero to the ignorant morons on the right.

As for Kucinich's record. I notice you have zero problem with all the Democrats (I can provide a list, but it's a long one) who voted with Republicans for Bush's policies over the past eight years, when only a few, like Kucinich voted against them.

12 Senate Democrats voted for the vile MCI. Where's the outrage from you over that? They voted against Habeas Corpus!!

And now we have the latest demonostration of how other Dems, and the leadership vote.

Weiner, Conyers and Kucinich added amendments to the Health Care bill. We all supported them.


But, speaking of votes to be upset over, Democrats took those amendments, both of them very progressive and what we were promised in the campaign, out of the bill.

Then Democrats added a Fundamentalist supported anti-women amendment instead.

But you're outraged over a silly childish, meaningless vote that will have zero affect on anyone's lives and most people have forgotten about already.

The votes I mentioned above, when Democrats joined Republicans and cast those votes, they insured that human beings would have no right to Habeas Corpus and could be tortured behind prison walls with no recourse to any justice. They voted for the deaths of our troops and hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

No I can't get upset over the incredibly insignificant and meaningless games such as the Wilson vote. The War Vote, the MIC, the Fisa Vote, Bush's nominees and so much more, that's where I look to see what Democrats voted with Republicans.

What has happened to Democrats, is this really a Democratic board anymore? When a Congressman stands up for human rights, and demands accountability from his government, he's the bad guy on this board now? It wasn't that way when I first found this place.
