Time to Come to the Aid of the Conscience of America

For decades, Dennis Kucinich has been the Conscience of America, standing up to elitist power brokers who threatened to take over Cleveland and later using his Congressional seat on behalf of the oppressed in America and the world.

While most members of the House of Representatives, including Nancy Pelosi, get an F for brains, courage and integrity, Kucinich continues to be the Conscience of America when he writes bills and when he votes on the floor of Congress. This is why he is admired by Democrats, independents, and honest Republicans (like Ron Paul).

It's not just that Dennis Kucinich voted against the war, against the USA Patriot Act, against the Real ID Act, against the various nuclear energy bills, against the WTO, and against rewarding mass murderers in the Middle East with billions of dollars of weapons. He has had the courage to write the most humane and intelligent pieces of legislation ever introduced in the House of Representatives. Through legislation that includes single-payer, not for profit, universal health care; the abolition of the death penalty; the impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney; and a wide variety of pieces of other important legislation, Kucinich has made better use of his position to aid the people than almost any other Congressman in the history of Congress. The Patrick Henry Democratic Club of America has named Kucinich Congressman of the Year for each of the last six years.

From coast to coast, no other political figure commands as much respect as Dennis Kucinich. Even Obama supporters mostly admit they settled for Obama because they didn't think America was ready to elect the best Dennis Kucinich. It is impossible to fault someone who, on a daily basis, turns down big money to stand up for the people. Every man, woman, and child in America owes Dennis Kucinich a big thank you for being the true voice of the people in the House of Representatives. In my own family, Dennis Kucinich gave my children a renewed faith that leaders can lead and retain their integrity.

So what are we supposed to think when a neo-fascist like William Kristol tries to make the people of America think that a candidate like Patrick Corrigan is within four points of Kucinich in the polls? For information on the proponent of this preposterous poll, it is important to read a document co-created and signed by Kristol called the Project for a New America Century, the Blue Print for 9/11/01.

Even though Kristol's poll is as phony as his other propaganda, it is important to be prepared for a repeat of 2004 Ohio where election fraud gave us four more years of a president who was never elected. At least, unlike most of Congress, Kucinich opposed the seating of the loser's Ohio electors in 2005.

It is important to make sure Kucinich landslides to victory so Corrigan can't steal it and silence the voice of the people. America cannot become complacent. Kristol has a history of going to extreme measures to get his way. Since Kucinich refuses all donations from corporate "people," it is important for human people to donate to him. Kucinich could also use precinct walkers and phone callers. Call his campaign office and see what you can do to make a difference. With Corrigan being backed by the PNAC, we have our work cut out for us. Get out there and help Dennis.

so let me be very plain in speech: Fuck Kucinich! Now I know that some may interpret this as somehow negative, so let me repeat; Fuck Kucinich! This nation needs another "progressive liberal" like it needs a hole in the head. Democrats - all Democrats - equal Republicans; totally and in every way. So, fuck Kucinich...

After all, even America has second thoughts from time. Of course, like Kucinich himself, those thoughts and any self-doubt they might endgender get pushed out of sight and out of mind and its back to the old grind of stealing everything that isn't battened down and killing..well, anyone with a pulse. But with regret.

The others will beat the crap out of you for this - not really, but it may feel like that.

Here is the truth, my friend. It is far, far too late to look at the various leaders and try to decide which ones to rally behind. You might start looking at which of them, if any, might rally behind us now.

Here is another thing - it is too late to mince words about this, too.
