One week after declaring that the United States “cannot afford” the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq “financially or spiritually,” Ohio’s
Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a staunch anti-war crusader, took aim at Congress for not taking a more active role in any of the war on terror
fronts.
“We are destroying our nation’s moral and fiscal integrity with this war supplemental,” Kucinich argued on the House floor Tuesday. “Instead
of ending wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan now by appropriating only enough money to bring our troops home, Congress abdicates its
constitutional authority, defers to the president, and asks for a report. That’s right, all we are asking for is a report on when the president will
end the war.”

I am so grateful that we have Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich in Congress ... they truly talk and think like the American pocket, instead of most of the
Congress who just talk to benefit their pockets ...
I really like this quote he makes
“Pretty soon that is going to be about the only thing made in America – war.”
So true ... it'll be the only thing we'll be doing ... producing weapons for wars (until that gets fully outsourced) ... and policing the world
...
what are your thoughts?

Kucinich is so out of touch! He doesn't even know we no longer have a war on terror! It's overseas contingency operations, 
Seriously, Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul have got to be the only two members in congress to have any sort of sense about them. The rest are just useful
idiots. Well, not "useful" to the people of the U.S. Useful to TPTB.
“Pretty soon that is going to be about the only thing made in America – war.”
Scary ain't it? The only thing made in America-war. That's right. war IN America. No longer just exported.

“Pretty soon that is going to be about the only thing made in America – war.”
Well that and prisons... but it is some kind of war... a war on civil liberties, protesters and dissent.
Obama, Bush, same thing. Obama is worse because he can sell the crap... Bush wasn't able to do so. And Obama is going viciously against the second
amendment, give more power to the FED, increase troops in Afghanistan and Iraq with mercenaries, he continues to steal money to give it to banks... he
federalize everything...
I thought we had reached the bottom with Bush, but Obama is 100X worse.
