40. Kucinich was not just concerned
Edited on Wed Apr-21-04 09:12 PM by hippywife
with the fact that it took away Congress' constitutional duty. He clearly stated that given the evidence that had been presented and what he knew had to be the devastation to Saddam's weapons programs caused by 12 years of sanctions, there was no way he presented a threat.

In other words, he used his brain to arrive at what had to be, and turned out to be, the truth. Thankfully, he talked another 125 members of the House to vote with him. Too bad the others didn't listen.

Too bad he isn't going to be our candidate against Bush. He has the ability to think and speak on his feet to arrive at the truth while others are only interested in saving their poliical asses. He has the vision and integrity that not a single other one of them possessed.

It ain't just about what is happening now...it's also about what happened then...when they were asked to be counted. It isn't about the aftermath of the major portion of the conflict...it's about the fact that it shouldn't have taken place to begin with.

Those that voted for it or supported the idea, in word or deed, that these WMD existed are all guilty.
