Reply #36: Does Kucinich get anything done

[Juche]

Before people pile on me, I am a huge fan of Kucinich. But Kucinich seems to just stand for his principals, he doesn't seem able to get anything done with them. Impeachment, a new 9/11 investigation, universal healthcare, better living standards for the poor, etc. He talks, but nothing happens. I believe Kucinich once said he was a driving force behind opposing the Iraq war resolution in the house in 2002, that 2/3 of the democrats there voted against. So maybe I'm wrong. Personally I would love it if Kucinich had the ability to get things done, but for the most part he seems to only be able to stand up for his principals, not get legislation passed that is based on them. Then again you could say the same about other people I like Like Suu Kyi.

Combine Kucinich's principals with Obama's rhetoric and populist appeal and LBJs ability to get things done and you'd have an amazing politician.
