Reply #8: the comment had nothing to do with the "military", it had to do w/budget [View All]

so, in a way, your post is out of context by tying in Clark support

the quote was: "You can talk about balancing the budget in Vermont, but Vermont doesn't have a military," Kucinich said. "Hello?"

I don't think this is being "bashed" as much as the point that the Federal budget is more complex. It seems appropriate for use in a debate.

"At another point, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich suggested that Dean's success balancing Vermont's tiny state budget does not prepare him for the kinds of choices that will confront him if he becomes president."

perhaps the thread is a low level bashing already suggesting that Dennis Kucinich is out of the running - it's a bit pre-season and a bit presumptuous - to presuggest that this will be a 'test' for Dennis "principles" is absurd at this point -- of course, if one takes his political career and studies it ... integrity is a major theme.
