NEW YORK - Democrat Dennis Kucinich on Monday criticized presidential front-runner John Kerry as being too similar to President Bush on Iraq and said voters must be given a "clear and convincing choice."

Speaking at a National Association of Hispanic Journalists' forum, Kucinich said the Iraq war will be the instrumental issue in the November election. He criticized Bush for starting it and took aim at Kerry, a Massachusetts senator who voted for the congressional resolution authorizing the war.

(snip)

"Senator Kerry voted for the war. Senator Kerry supports the occupation. Senator Kerry supports sending another 40,000 troops to Iraq," Kucinich said. "I'm wondering if the people of this country are ready to trade a Republican war for a Democratic war, because that's exactly where we're headed right now."

(snip)

"That's why I intend to go through all the way to the convention, that's why I believe it's going to be very difficult for anyone to go into that convention with 50 percent of the delegates," Kucinich said. "Is it possible? Yes. But I don't think it's a sure thing. You could still see the selections change."

And only someone with positions far from the current administration can replace Bush, Kucinich said.

5. It's a rules violatioon to reference someone's post count.

That's copnsidered a personal attack, IrateCitizen.

8. Then hit alert on me, Padraig18...

I'm not one to stand for this kind of rumor-mongering.

9. Just pointing it out while you still have time to change it.

Make it about the message, not the messenger, my friend. :hi:

3. Your sources say this will happen no matter what the results are? n/t

4. Unnamed sources / Dennis Kucinich

Hummmmm. I guess I will trust the integrity of Dennis Kucinich who has yet to let us down. Sorry.

7. I will bet large sums of money on that claim

0-$50, then I will donate my winnings to DU.

11. Yeah, I wonder whether "Prof Hoodoo" would like to put $100 or more

of his money on that rumour, proceeds to go 50% to DU, 50% to DK or Hoodoo's choice (Kerry?). I can't afford to bet right now, but I think I know someone who'd be just irritated enough to also go for $50. Maybe there'd be others here who'd want some too, I'm sure Skinner et all would hold the stakes if we asked.

13. I doubt it. n/t

12. Trust you? On what basis? Not only do I not know squat about you

or your 'philosophy' but that's something several known DUers rather well connected to the Kucinich campaign would have a much clearer idea of and when the news needs to be broken at DU, we'll do so. Until then, it's a baseless "mis-statement".

Looking forward to your future posts with anticipation.

14. stickdog says his relationship with Halle Berry is viable.

What, don't you believe me?

[redqueen]

15. Nope

Show us your record of relationships with other famous actresses, like Kucinich's record of beating the odds, and maybe some will, though.

:eyes:
