republican definition of Looney: anyone objective telling the truth.
Liberal=objectivist evidence based decision making=looney.
Why looney? Because he isn't in the pocket of big oil, neocon zionism, big health insurance, and is actually intrested in america, not partisan treasonous take over of the department of justice, appoint partisan incompetent loyaalist republican hacks to run the government.
Attack the character, ad hominem slime, swiftboating, all that is left of the GOP. Pathetic.
Vote republican, vote vidman to a cabnet position, hes a great republican.

Dennis John Kucinich (IPA: [kuË;sɪnɪtÊ;]) (born October 8, 1946) is a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2004 and 2008 elections.[1]
so if you think he is so great, why didn't you nominate and elect him president?
of course, From 1977 to 1979, Kucinich served as the 53rd mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, a tumultuous term in which he survived a recall election and was successful in a battle against selling the municipal electric utility before being defeated for reelection by George Voinovich.

In the book Best and Worst of the Big-City Leaders, 1820â;;1993, Melvin G. Holli, in consultation with a panel of experts, placed Kucinich among the ten worst big-city mayors of all time for reasons of temperament and performance, while Kucinich's supporters say that Kucinich kept his campaign promise of refusing to sell Muni Light to CEI and was brave for not giving in to big business. Specifically, it was the Cleveland Trust Company that required all of the city's debts be paid in full, which forced the city into default, after news of Kucinich's refusal to sell the city utility. For years these debts were routinely rolled over, pending future payment, until Kucinich's announcement was made public. In 1998 the council honored him for having the "courage and foresight" to stand up to the banks and saving the city an estimated $195 million between 1985 and 1995.[16]

It is unfortunate that our corporate controlled media would not give this man a chance. The corporate elites fear him almost as much as they fear Ron Paul, because the thing our nazi leaders hate the most is the truth, for it exposes them for the war profiteers that they are.
The war on terror is not real.

Nazi's, or white supremeists are a joke. They have no power. They are completely inflitrated by the fbi, cia, antidefimation league and a million others.
Our "leaders" are controlled by hard right neocon zionists and big oil, and big money rich elite. The exact opposite of nazis.
You comment of war profiteers is 100% on the money. To profit from the lies and war in Iraq is republican values. Vote republican, because profit from the death or 4500 for a lie is patriotic. Vote republican, because profit from the sever injury of 30,000 is patriotic, and vote to have their benifits cut.
Vote republican, because despite the horrors of PST, the rich are getting richer fromt he war. The suffering of the soldiers is not in vain, its making the rich richer! What a great system. Vote republican for more and more for a hundred more years.

Nah, what looney tunes are the 20(something)%ers. Many of the democrats are just different sides of the same coin. Both feed at the trough of Big Business.

Kucinish a looney tunes. Not so fast bukeroo!
That great 5-star general Dwight Eisenhower didn't care for those Texas Oil Men neither when they wanted to eliminate Social Security, unemployment compensation, etc. Go to this site to see what he had to say about them then...and let's see whose the real looney tune.

Eiesenhower warned about the military industrial complex. Cheney IS the military industrial complex. Bush IS the big oil companies. Its nice to see them get rich while they send the poor underpaid young soldiers to death, to protect their intrests.
And Bush/cheney are so remorseful for what they've done. They are donating 10 dollars to the children of the dead and injured out of their multi-billion dollar windfall. Not.

The IRAQ war was invented by the dual citizen neocon zionist presidential advisors, mainly wolfawitz, pearl, libby, ect, and sold lock and stock to big oil greedy corporate neocon oil/military industrial complex guys, cheney and bush.
It was the neocon fantasy of creating an Israel frendly democracy in Iraq. THAT was the main reason for war. The oil spoils are what sold the insatiably greedy sociopathic murdering traitorous cheney and bush, f*cking chickenhawk coward traitorous murdering draftdodging scum. Send 4500 americans to their death, in the confusion of 911, and lie aobut the reasons for it. That's murder. MURDER. And it doesn't phase them a bit. They still have the chutzpah to hate the poor, and blame it all on anyone else but them.
They pulled off an 8 year defacto coup, in league with the 100% severe right wing american zionist owned and operated media.

I would also like to remind all commenters that last year Kucinich gave a reading in the House that predicted exactly what this latest article reveals.
Those Oil companies weren't the only group that wanted to see a war against Iraq, so did the War Industry, and the Corporations that expect to profit from feeding the War Industry.
So who cares if a million or so Iraqis are killed, if 4100 or more American soldiers die, if our economy is destroyed, and if the people of Iraq have had their national treasure stolen? It was all for a good purpose - to fatten the bank accounts of the few.
It would appear very few. Klirissa asked why, if Kucinich was such a good guy, he wasn't elected as the Nominee?
My take is that the People of America just didn't care, and now that over 70% of Americans do care, our elected Government is not about to give up this "Money Maker".

would the little gerbil just go away, we are not going to impeach Bush, it's not worth the time and money. Don't you think we have bigger fish to fry, like drilling for our own oil and telling the Saudi's to pound sand. Try and buy another fleet of Bentleys for each royal family member with their peoples taxes.
