I heard him speak on CNN tonight, and I was amazed that there is a politician who will speak up and tell it like it is. If only there were more like him.

22. Where we don't want to start is by fucking over early retirees
We could start by letting at least some people under 65 into Medicare, which has the advantage of already existing.

30. Why don't we start with something better?
"somewhere" is not over the rainbow as far as this HCR proposal is concerned. WHY are employers even more tightly bound to our healthcare than ever before with this bill? A huge chunk of the problem of unemployment and low wages arises from the employer having ANYTHING AT ALL to do with your healthcare.

I agree, Kucinich is spot on.

I quite frankly hate this healthcare bill. It's just another "least worst" option we like to continue to put out there. Where the fuck are our standards?

18. The Democratic party is just like one of those american brands sold to
China. We still call it Democrat, but just like Bell and Howell or American Tourister, the original brand name has been totally sold out, and the original purpose has been lost.

27. Nothing like the unvarnished truth served up hot.
It is so nice and refreshing to see an elected official that is not a prostitute in a suit.

40. Dennis is a real man with integrity and courage...and a real patriot.
Thank you Dennis Kucinich for all you do.
Thank you for all the many times you have stood up and spoken out for the American people.
If only everyone in Congress had even half of the integrity that you do, America wouldn't be in such a mess today.
We need more like you in America.

45. There's no need to mandate if they truly reform. They sell us
out everyday, to the highest bidder. Thankfully we still have a few lone voices like Kucinich, Dean & Sanders. K & R

That's why whenever a corporation goes bankrupt, the CEO is arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter!
