Kucinich on the Affordable Care Act: "I hope the law is upheld."

[ProSense]

7. Well,

What difference does it make what I think?

I don't know if he was a "pivotal vote". What I do know is many Obama "supporters" spent a few days crapping on Kucinich as never having done anything, being useless. Then you, whom I consider Obama's most ardent supporter, come in with a thread saying how Kucinich was a pivotal vote in HCR and using him as a reason to support the bill. I just found the whole thing amusing. Sorry if that bothers you.

...about as much difference as the point you're making. Also, Kucinich is the one saying he was the "pivotal vote."

However I think there are other things in the bill that take the right steps. I also think that if the mandate is held up and Democrats lose the election the Republicans will strip all the good out of the bill, leave the mandate and we'll be in much worse shape when all is said and done.

That's possible (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002495048), but if Republicans win, the mandate will be the least of people's problems.
