What is telling is to spend some time looking at the corporate donations of politicians and then check out their votes. Also look at their personal wealth and how it increased during their time in office.
Kucinich is one of the poorest members of Congress. I guess that is the real reason why he could afford to NOT compromise on such important issues. He didn't owe his soul to Corporate America. What a shame that it is HE who is called 'extreme' while those with their hands out to Corporations, are considered the norm, because they are willing to compromise! Of course they are!
