REP. KUCINICH: I -- you're owed an apology. You really are. And every American should be able to present themselves without having to be further scrutinized based on ethnic identity.

But let's go back to the point that you made here. The time -- you know, the president of the United States is called upon to make the right decision at the right time. And you've seen here tonight people who voted for the war, voted to fund the war, and now they have a different position; people who voted for the Patriot Act, now they have a different position; people who voted for China trade, now they have a different position; people who voted for Yucca Mountain, now they had a different position. Just imagine what it will be like to have a president of the United States who's right the first time. Just imagine. (Cheers, applause.)

And -- and I don't think -- I don't think that the first questioner's question was really answered, about what are you going to do about this president, and for that matter the vice president, because they're out of control and the Congress isn't doing anything. (Applause.) I --

MR. BLITZER: Thank you. Thank you, Congressman.

REP. KUCINICH: It's called impeachment, and you don't wait. You do it now. (Cheers, applause.)

MR. BLITZER: All right.

REP. KUCINICH: You don't wait. (Cheers, applause.)

MR. BLITZER: Suzanne got -- Suzanne has another question.

REP. KUCINICH: Now. (Cheers, applause.)

MR. BLITZER: But I want --

REP. KUCINICH: Impeach them now.

1. Cheers! Applause!

I didn't watch the debates because I knew they'd give Dennis about 30 seconds of air time, but he used those few seconds wisely, especially here.

2. That's my guy!

3. It was great!

I guess if they don't let you speak and the others go on and on you just have to stand up and say what you need to say anyway. I was also glad to hear Biden mention impeachment but I think he is waiting far too long. Waiting for Iran is way too late and seriously, will that threat stop any of them? Nope. Why should it, look how much support and press it is getting now and they are way way past due.

4. THIS is why I'm voting for DK. THIS is why I'm sending him my hard earned $$

GO DENNIS!!

[Bennyboy]

5. Easily the best lines of the debate go to DK....

"Imagine having a President who got it right the first time" in regards to everyone else backpedalling on NAFTA, Trade with China, Iraq, Iran,The Patriot Act etc.....

"I actually read it" in regards to the Patriot act when everyone else was saying it need to be reworked.

Rock me DK.

6. K&R! lets send it to Greatest..........

[riqster]

7. Notice how Blitzer tried to squash Kooch?

...and how well DK handled it?

This is the kind of information our people, party, and especially leadership need to have access to: it clearly shows how censored our media is. The people WANT impeachment. All those politicos in the Beltway Bubble are missing (and/or ignoring) that.

Ignore us at your peril.

8. kick for Kooch! n/t

9. Thank you DK!

Thank you for standing up to this administration.

10. k+r

11. I thought that Kucinich promised a straight up-or-down vote on impeachment before Thanksgiving

[bluedog]

13. its in Committee

but he could get it out under a Discharge Petition..if he got (I think) 128 members of House to sign it.....Shouldn't be a problem because the GOP'ers wanted it on the floor anyways.........

12. Just sent Dennis some money.

I would be thrilled with either Kucinich or Biden. Looks like I'm supporting two candidates, now. ;)

W()()T!!!

It is pretty funny listening to Blitzen trying to cut him off and quiet the crowd down...

And the "I voted against the Patriot Act because I READ IT!" response is just PERFECT.

Best line of the night, however, is my sig.

Just. Imagine.

[L. Coyote]

16. Someone send this Patriot $7.99

I know he reintroduced this resolution because you can't run a campaign on $3.33 donations :rofl:

[inthebrain]

17. This is whats called an ass kicking

and that's what Kucinich did with his six minutes last night.

KICK ASS.

[Desertrose]

18. Pretty damn cool.

Impeach 'em all....why should they get away with everything they've done....??

Thanks, Dennis, for bringing that point up!
