8. That's not the way to describe a Democratic Congressman that opposes the war

The same war you are currently supporting.

[vaberella]

16. I read that Barbara Lee was the only one who was originally against the war? n/t

22. You can't believe everything you hear! There were 133 votes against IWR in the House

Vote "NO'' On Iraq War Resolution US

Statement by Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), October 3, 2002

Before the House of Represenatives

As the vote on whether or not this Nation goes to war approaches in this Chamber, a vote which most surely will come within a few days, I think it is important, Mr. Speaker, for us to be able to make the case to the American people as to why it is not appropriate for this country to go to war and to encourage the American people to call their Members to make sure that government of the people, by the people, and for the people does prevail.

The Members who joined me today, Members for whom I have the greatest gratitude, include the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Brown), the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Brown), the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Capuano), the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Mrs. Clayton), the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Conyers), the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Davis), the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. DeFazio), the gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands (Mrs. Christensen), the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett), the gentleman from California (Mr. Farr), the gentleman from California (Mr. Filner), the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee), the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur), the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Moran), the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Olver), the gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Rivers), the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Sanders), the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano), the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky), the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Solis), the gentlewoman from Ohio (Mrs. Jones), the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters), the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Watson), and the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Woolsey).

One after another they came before the national press to make their case as to why this Congress should vote against any resolution which would put us on a path towards war. And one after another, in front of the National Press Corps, they called out to the American people to tell the American people to make sure that they called their Members of Congress; that if they did not want war, these Members told the National Press Corps, that if the American people do not want war, to call their Congressman.

So, Mr. Speaker, today, I intend to do a number of things. I intend to present to this Congress an analysis of the joint resolution which was offered to this Congress; and, after presenting that analysis, I want to put in perspective where we are in this moment in history.

In the House, six Republicans -- Ron Paul of Texas; Connie Morella of Maryland; Jim Leach of Iowa; Amo Houghton of New York; John Hostettler of Indiana; and John Duncan of Tennessee -- joined 126 Democrats in voting against the resolution.

Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Missouri, said giving Bush the authority to attack Iraq could avert war by demonstrating the United States is willing to confront Saddam over his obligations to the United Nations.

"I believe we have an obligation to protect the United States by preventing him from getting these weapons and either using them himself or passing them or their components on to terrorists who share his destructive intent," said Gephardt, who helped draft the measure.

But Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, said the 133 votes against the measure were "a very strong message" to the administration.

23. That was Afghanistan n/t.

[LakeSamish706]

14. And you are obsessed with Obama, so whats the difference here? n/t

[tranche]

3. A lot of talk of no real consequence.

Yea... It's Kuch night alright.

[DJ13]

4. The marching orders must have come in to attack him

again

[Bobbie Jo]

7. What "marching orders?"

:rofl:

[DJ13]

10. So you really think 20 independant posters all at once

.... just decided to start threads attacking him?

Yea, sure.

[Jennicut]

12. Some people don't like him, some people hate Rahm. Some people here hate Obama.

Not everything here is a conspiracy. Is this Prison Planet or something?

[Bobbie Jo]

13. Get a grip.

Seriously.

So when and how do "ya'll" get yours?

Or is it just "coincidence?" :tinfoilhat:

[DJ13]

15. Why do you people hate liberals?

[Bobbie Jo]

17. Why do you hate America?

Edit: Lighten up a little, huh? :)

[LakeSamish706]

18. No, you tell us... Cause it is obvious that many of you hate Kucinich! n/t

[Bobbie Jo]

19. So....

Not liking Kucinich equals hating Liberals?

Seriously?

[LakeSamish706]

20. Pretty much yeah... He is one of the few Liberal Progressives... n/t

[Bobbie Jo]

21. LOL

Hookay. You got me.

Can't argue with that "logic." :eyes:

[rudy23]

28. This is what I've been saying---that's qualitative proof to me.

Check my journals for more.

[dionysus]

31. have you ever heard of this miracle drug called thorazine? look into it.

[Moochy]

33. Oh because he's so crazy to think that anyone would bother

to coordinate attacks!

[Arkana]

11. Yes, we all get marching orders as part of Rahm's Raiders.

We even have jackets! With our names stitched on the sleeves! Wanna see?

BTW, you realize this exact point could be made for every thread that calls the President a "corporate sellout DLC fascist tool". Perhaps there are some people who are really, really tired of the folks who worship Kucinich as some sort of paragon of liberal virtue when in fact he has not voted for a single piece of liberal legislation that has passed the Congress in a year and a half.

[Moochy]

25. Yes but are they fucking retarded looking jackets

:yoiks:

[Arkana]

26. Wow, a guy who has a reputation for being abrasive and bare-knuckled

said something abrasive!

I never!

[Moochy]

27. It's a good look on you, black white and red are your 'Power' colors

Wow, A self-directed Pre-emptory invocation of Godwin's Law! Pretty neat

[rudy23]

29. Yes, they have. And it's a warning to anyone else who dares to question the bill. n/t

[Jennicut]

5. I want more attention on Massa, still trying to figure that whole thing out.
