Kucinich defends the Tea Party movement

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is not happy with the direction of his own party and he is telling them to wake up. In an interview with Rawstory.com, Congressman Kucinich blasted away verbally and shredded his fellow Democrats with his words for failing to follow through on the change they promised in Washington...

...He went as far as to mention the Tea Party movement in a separate interview, warning fellow Dems on the Ed Schultz Show not to ignore financial issues.

"I met with people who were, you know, unfairly ridiculed as being just a bunch of *derogatory term deleted* and frankly they had basic economic concerns just like everyone else, they felt that government wasn't listening to them, and this is where the Democratic Party better wake up," he told the radio audience.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

ANYONE would sound reasonable next to Ed Schultz.

Kucinich may be crazy, but he's honest.

Be wary of lefties supporting the tea party movement as an organized political force.  They don't have our best interests at heart.

I disagree.  To me, this just means he is feeling the way the wind is blowing and he is changing course until he can gets the wind going the way he wants to go again.  Typical politician double speak.

Yep.

Kucinich is trying to siphon the alien-troofer-jew-conspiracy-immaculate-demolition vote from the Tea Party.

Amen to that.

Some years back I was channel surfing, and happened upon a televised political debate. Pausing to listen to the candidate, I thought, as God is my witness, that the speaker at the moment was a member of some fringe group - Socialist Worker's Party, Communist Party, something along those lines.

I was rather dismayed to find out he was an incumbent congressman from Ohio named Dennis Kuchinich.   =(
