you have democrat presidential candidate Kucinich going to Syria to meet with Assad (who sponsors terrorists) and comes out saying that he's so honored for having met a guy who is providing the weapons who kill US soldiers. Then he votes against the 9/11 Bill to Commemorate that tragedy. Are traitors or WHAT!?

I would say that it is a bit general to say that conservatives are waiting to collect on their investments and comfortable retirements. That is a weak attack, and is something that you could say about both parties. Look at all the fundraising scandals among democrats right now. So let's move on.
Regardless of what we may think of the war in Iraq. It is blatantly false and a mere talking point to say that the war was/is unjust. The war was voted on and approved by Congress, was the result of numerous violations of international, and human rights violations, the consequence of which is clearly stated among other things as invasion/regime removal. You can say it all you want, and you don't have to agree with the war, but according to U.S. and international law, it was perfectly legal.
It is again partisan bias to just blame ignorance of threats on Bush when previous presidents including Clinton chose to ignore the same information. As a matter of fact, Clinton had Bin Laden virtually handed to him on a silver platter and chose to let him go. That isn't an indictment on my part of either president, my point is you have to be fair when you make claims.
It seems funny that the anti war people are almost rooting for disaster in Iraq, because it may help them win seats or elected office. If we are for the troops and the country we should at all costs hope for victory. If we care for humanity and not just our interests we should stay and make sure the people of Iraq are secure instead of cutting and running, leaving a hotbed of instability. We may have messed up in this war but it is our responsibility then to make it right, not leave a mess.
I imagine that in our anti war utopia, we could just give Bin Laden a hug and a flower and he would get all teary eyed and apologize. and we would live happily ever after. Let's wake up to reality. There is evil out there, and hate, and it won't go away if we stick our heads in the sand and smoke dope and become anti war hippies. If we do that we will lose we will continue to be attacked.
It shouldn't always be about attacking the other party, we should look for solutions to the situation we are in and a way out that helps humanity in the long run, not our political agendas during a season.

That's no better than Bush doing business with the Bin Laden's. No better than everybodys hero (Ronald Reagan a republican as well) giving Saddam weapons in the 80s, then a republican president attacking Iraq in 2003. Bush sr and Donald Rumsfeld visiting Saddam in the 80s. The patriotic act that takes away our civil liberties. And yet we're the one who love terrorists? Riight. You guys are no saints. And I think Kucinich going to Syria and supporting terrorists is blown way out of proportion and taken out of context. We don't have a death wish, Bush was the one who ignored all the memos and thought brushing up on his golf swing was more of a priority than keeping us safe. Spying on Americans....Bush is the modern day Nixon, also a republican. See a pattern here?

Yeah, that's it. Traitors for sure. The guy who has lead this country into an unjust war that has killed thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's is indeed a patriot. The biggest deficit in history, the unconstitutional taking of civil rights, the unlawful jailing of Americana's after 9/11/01, refusing to attend any funerals of our dead service men and women, the pardoning of Scooter Libby (outing CIA operatives is SO patriotic), letting the energy industry decide how America should produce it's energy, ignoring environmental law that protects Americans....and the list goes on. All that is so patriotic, I can hardly stand it!

Kucinich is an honorable man with great integrity. He is one of the few politicians who risks his career to tell the truth.
Today, we are faced with vulgar conservatives who think only of their investments and a comfortable retirement. Are we to believe that we have invaded Afghanistan and Iraq for honorable reasons?
Is the motivation related to profits of corporate stocks so that the smart money can do even better? Today we have an America of inequality. We've lost a vision for American. Mr. Kucinich is one of the few leaders who can bring us back to the truth.

A politician is a politician. Nothing will change if a Democrat is elected. There all liars. Democrats are just saying the opposite of what the Republicans are saying. You must remember. "Republicans suck and Democrats blow" That's the only difference. Thank You.
