Wall Street Reform Passes
Thursday, July 15, 2010
Kucinich caved, as did every 81 of the 84 members of the Progressive Caucus who pledged not to vote for any healthcare reform bill that didn't include a public option. Kucinich was the last to do so.
The only way that Kucinich would have been f**ced had he kept his word was by Obama.
That's who you're defending. A man who bent to pressure (we know not what he was threatened with, but threatened he was) by a man you also pledged not to sign any legislation that didn't include a public option. A man who signed a corporate welfare bill, a bailout, guaranteed to END all public healthcare programs sooner rather than later. Not any "first step" to expansion, to Medicare For All, to affordable quality medical care for all, but a "first step" to only the rich being able to afford quality medical care.
You settle for sand disguised as crumbs, fooling yourself into believing there's a square meal waiting right around the corner, when you could have a FEAST.
Dennis Kucinich has written his own epitaph. He's weak, he's exposed that he's irrelevant, has no power or ability to achieve any of our objectives.
Bernie Sanders has never mounted a national campaign, and his relevancy is, frankly, irrelevant. He has relevancy to Vermonters.
One thing that you can say about Ron Paul and Ralph Nader is that they both have stayed true to their beliefs and message. Neither can be bought. Kucinich has been (bought).
