Kucinich On Bailout: "I'm not just gonna vote no, I'm gonna vote hell no!"
Fox News ^ | 9/28/08 | Fox News

Anyone else see Kucinich on Fox News? He's RAILING against the bailout? Some of his complaints involved typical bashing of "trickle-down" concepts but some of them actually made a lot of sense.

Two points:

1. Kinda scary day in American history when Kucinich seems to be the voice of reason.

2. If he's against it, then there's probably enough opposition on both sides of the aisle that it won't pass in its current form.

Kucinich and Sen. Sanders are making a lot of sense right now (well, other than the typical left-wing socialist blather). I might need a field sobriety test.

No doubt. If McCain took that kind of a stand he would probably go up 5 points in the polls.

It’s not a scary day in US history...it’s a SLOW day, news-wise. We are talking about the Gollum from Lord of the Rings here.(”precious...”)

So Democrats and Republicans are against this bill but the Senate’s only formal socialist is AGAINST it?

This is great news. The far left wing of the democrats are splintering off, just like the majority of House Republicans have done.

Keep calling your House Representatives!!! It is working.

Keep in mind that this is not a bail out of free-marketers but of Corporate Socialists.

Denny boy doesn't mind ponying up lots of taxpayer-confiscated funds for socialist programs. His problem is in helping out the last vestiges of Capitalism that may remain in the “Corporate” side of this bail out.

I just saw it, "I did not come to DC to sit on the board of Goldman Sachs."

Can't believe I'm typing this, but:
GO KUCINICH!!

(at least for now)

I wouldn’t be surprised if McCain drops 10%. I know my excitement created by Palin has dropped about 50%.

Dennis knows what he's talking about!! He has expert knowledge about these matters.

Isn't he the one who bankrupted Cleveland?

Why not sit on the board of Goldman Sachs. It will get you a cabinet position in the Bush administration.

Dennis essentially hates banks and any company that makes a profit. He would never bail out any of them.

I heard this too- and my ears perked up when he said - we don’t need MORE regulation- we already HAVE regulation- we need the SEC to do its job.

Obviously one thing Dennis wanted was more $ or “relief” for homeowners...but that’s not what interested me.

I am trying to discover the FACTS- regardless of party affiliation or ideology.

I know there was mixed reaction on FR when McC called for Cox to be fired- and it may have been too reactionary- HOWEVER- does anyone here know IF the SEC in fact has been lax in enforcing the rules and regs?

I think, or hope there is a lot of opposition. I heard a dem from Ohio earlier Mary something saying alot are not on board. And they didnt like the late night dealings behind locked doors.
