It Is Time To Vote Dennis Out
Yes, I said it. And I’m prepared to stand behind it.
You may remember back to the days of the Bush Administration, there was quite a debate about the S-Chip children’s health program. In fact an extension for the program came very near overriding a presidential veto, falling just a handful of votes short. You may also remember that Dennis Kucinich was one of the people who voted against it.
And guess what he’s getting ready to do again, with healthcare reform.
So Clevelanders, I urge you to vote no on Dennis Kucinich. Tell him your as sick and tired of his showboating, smile to your face while stabbing you in the back, Joe Lieberman style BULLSHIT as I am.
At this point, I don’t even give a damn if the Republicans take the seat for a term. It’d be well worth it in my book.




I know that this bill isn't perfect.
But I also know that the fight for healthcare reform has been going on for over 50 years. And I know that right now, we have a very good chance to pass many meaningful reforms that will help countless people all over the country.
What Dennis is doing is equivalent to refusing to sign a cease-fire agreement until both sides of a war agree on a full scale peace treaty, no matter how many more people will be killed in the process.
If Dennis is prepared to stand with his no vote on healthcare, I assure you that I'm more than ready to stand by my call for voting him out.
constituent, Ms. Canfield of Strongsville? What good are Dennis's principles to her next week if the bill fails this week with his NO vote?
Or to my sole proprietor biz friend whose Anthem insurance bill just went up 40 percent, prompting him to drop Anthem and take a risk of staying healthy at 57?
Or to thousands of Ohioans who lose jobs while having pre-existing conditions?
Perfection is the enemy of progress -- and DK is neither perfect nor a true progressive. His days are numbered and will be fewer if he maintain his arrogance of principle pretense this week.
Barack is trying carrots and sticks on Blue Dog Dems. Carrots won't work on DK. He needs a big stick... like Dave says.
Despite being in polar opposite positions, they both used their position as a needed vote to try and drag the legislation far into one side of the political spectrum.
It's the same tactic, and I stand by using that assertion at the time this post was written.
