Kucinich Caves
March 17, 2010
Up until now, we would say – the Democrats are a corporate party – with the exception of Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).
Now what?
The Democrats are a corporate party.
Rotting from the core.
Ready to be tipped over.
With no exceptions.
Kucinich’s flameout was spectacular this morning.
A simple trip on Air Force One – and he was gone.
He joined the corporate Democrats.
To support a bill that he – and the progressive Democrats – said they would never support.
He got nothing in return.
Kucinich supported an insurance industry bailout he said he would never support.
A bill he had opposed until the ride on Air Force One.
“I’ve taken a detour through supporting this bill,” Kucinich said this morning.
A detour that will condemn millions of Americans to ongoing suffering and death.
Disgraceful.
