Reply #66: Uh, no. Kucinich did not do the "forcing" in Cleveland. [View All]

The bank and CEI tried to. Dennis did what he'd promised to do, and refused to sell. He made a vow to the people of Cleveland and they elected him on that basis. When push came to shove he did as he promised.

Rather funny that he was ASKED to come back to Cleveland when Muny Light expanded operations if his decision was such an aggregious case of poor leadership and decision-making, don't you think? He was elected to State legislature "Because he was right.". I think that counters your misrepresentation of who did the forcing in that situation.

Furthermore, if you favor retention of NAFTA and WTO agreements, then you must find it perfectly acceptable for corporate big-wigs to run roughshod over the poor people and small business. You oppose a Dept. of Peace, for what reason exactly? Have you read the bill that proposes its establishment? Do you have any idea what it's designed to do? If not then you can't very well oppose it can you?

Be a centrist, no problem there, but I hope you're making informed decisions about what you oppose and don't oppose in Kucinich's platform.
