Is it good that Dennis Kucinich voted no on H.R. 3962?

1. I think this gives more cause for a primary challenge

than Lieberman's betrayal of Democrats on the Iraq War justified the primary of his dumb ass.

As far as I'm concerned, there's little difference between Kucinich and Lieberman.

3. "As far as I'm concerned, there's little difference between Kucinich and Lieberman."

Thats absolute bullshit.... Dennis has always been consistent in how he votes and is against passing a bill that is nothing but a pile of shit.

[WeDidIt]

4. I'll agree with you on one point

Kucinich is consistent in how he votes. On all the big ones where a major part of the Democratic agenda is up against a close vote, Kucinich ALWAYS votes with the Republicans.

5. Wrong again.... n/t

[Birthmark]

22. Fortunately as far as your concern goes...

...involves measurement with an electron microscope.

Equating Kucinich with Lieberman is double plus unsmart.

2. I don't understand the "Yes" votes

How could this in any way be interpreted as "good"? I suppose this dovetails in with the negative recs - which I assume are saying "how dare you even question Saint Dennis' motives.

24. This subject has been beat to death. I think we all know how we stand

[flvegan]

6. I voted "yes"

For one, it didn't matter, yet to watch the usual cast of DU nasties that abhor Kucinich twist their collective panties for the last 24 hours has been priceless on a comical level.

That's a good thing.

[Skittles]

7. we should have - and could have - done much better than this

PERIOD

[RoadRage]

8. A 'NO' vote is a 'NO' Vote..

I don't care if you're a Blue Dog Dem, Kucinich, or a Right Wing Crazy assed Republican.

This bill was the best one they could compromise on and come up with. This bill is better then nothing (what we have right now). To vote against it because it's not your "euphoric" idea of a perfect bill is BS. No one ever gets everything they want in a political world.. and this is the best they were going to get.

He should have voted yes. At the end of the day, if it hadn't passed I'd put just as much on him as I would have every one of the Blue Dogs. A No is a No is a No. I don't give a shit about your "principals" behind it. Just like I don't give a shit about the Republicans objections to it. Or the Blue Dogs.

9. It could have been much better if the so called Democrats that should have been behind...

the Public Option showed up back when it was being drafted.

11. +1 n/t

[HughMoran]

17. Bravo!

:bounce:

[Toucano]

10. I admire his commitment to his ideas, even if I disagree with him.

He is a man of principles.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. Well...can't you say that for every Republican?

If a Republican truly believes that the bill will result in death panels, aren't they justified in voting no and shouldn't you admire them?

[Toucano]

16. God no! Are you joking?

They don't believe 1 percent of what they say.

There is not one member of congress who believed that health care reform bill would result in death panels.

That is simply a scare tactic to achieve their political ends.

And it is the same with every other issue.


There may be teabaggers who believe that shit, but not the people who are leading them by the rings in their noses.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

19. I actually think Michelle Bachman might have...

She seems truly crazy.

[Toucano]

21. Okay, I'll give you that one. But I don't have to admire the commitment of crazy people

to their crazy ideas.


I will admire their commitment to a mental institution though! :)

[Danger Mouse]

12. I would've voted 'neither'.

:shrug:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

14. Meh. His vote didn't matter.

Again.

[varelse]

15. I'm going to vote "present" on this poll

:silly:

[ZombieHorde]

18. What does the "it" refer to in your in your subject line?

Is good that Dennis Kucinich voted no on H.R. 3962?

[elocs]

20. Don't know, but I had to give your thread an UnRec because that evidently is what we do here at DU.

King of the UnRec.

[Bluebear]

23. Define "it"

[Greyhound]

25. .

26. I Stand With Dennis Kucinich
