My ideological endorsement of Kucinich has dwindled to close to zero in the past eight months. I realized (esp. since he endorsed Obama) that, in a substantial oversight, I was looking at his alluringly progressive rhetoric in a vacuum that omitted the realities of the very unprogressive party of which he is a member. He may simply serve as part of a strategy to maintain the attention of progressives until the last minute where, having been carried through much of the primaries, some of the votes could be prevented from bleeding out to third parties. So Kucinich feigns disappointment that corporate America did not endorse his anti-corporate platform and smiles and suggests "Maybe next time." and then points to the other Democratic candidate, the one who has a platform
antithetical to his own in every possible way and says, "The closest thing to me is this guy."
Did Kucinich explain how any of what he listed is the exclusive responsibility of the Republican Party? Did he explain how Obama is going to differ greatly on any of those issues? Where is the acknowledgement that most of America's current woes are those created by the CLINTON era? Where is the mention that Clinton started the campaign against Iraq and opened the door for the invasion with the bipartisan Iraqi Liberation Act? That Clinton bombed Iraq every second day for years killing thousands of Iraqis and incurring the wrath of Islamists? That Clinton bombed a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, resulting in the deaths of untold thousands? That Clinton flattened Serbia in the break up of Yugoslavia that was every bit as illegal as the invasion of Iraq? That Clinton supported Islamists and the Taliban and the mujahideen and airlifted them to Yugoslavia where they practiced the arts they would later unleash on NYC, the Pentagon and London? Where is the mention that job-sucking NAFTA is the work of Clinton-Gore? That it was Clinton who began the work on the dismantling of Social Security, and was only prevented from going through by the Lewinsky affair? That it was the last Democratic president that pushed through the most draconian laws that were precursors to the PATRIOT Act (The Crime Bill and the Counterterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act)? That it was one of Obama's current advisers, Madeleine Albright who accepted the deaths of half a million Iraqi children as a price they were willing to pay to keep Hussein neutered? On and on... there is no reason Kucinich should be taken seriously as long as he continues to operate in the Democratic Party and that he is one of their favourite cheerleaders is nothing short of reprehensible.
