In reply to the discussion: Dennis Kucinich offers no support for Marcy Kaptur after primary defeat [View all]cyclezealot
(4,802 posts)108. On HR 3632.
A very important bill.. She voted with the Freepers.. Giving the CEO's more leeway to pick our pockets.. On that the Freepers are laughing too.. No need to calm down.. She'll carry the district against Joe the Plumber.. She does not need the help of those she offended by playing her dirty game.. She is more than capable of playing dirty to Joe the Plumber also..
She could have had our help. Not now..
