Kucinich in 'NYT' this coming Sunday on impeachment
Exclusive: Kucinich in 'NYT' this coming Sunday on impeachment

In an interview to be published in The New York Times this Sunday, Rep. Dennis Kusinich continues to make the case for impeachment – especially amid the Russia/Georgia crisis – as well as arguing for Democrats to come together to back Obama.

Asked why he continues calling for impeachment, Kucinich responds, "This president is capable of taking us into war, in October, on the eve of an election, to try to change the outcome of the election...

"The events in Georgia are a premonition...of an attack on Iran. When Georgia moved against South Ossetia as the Olympics are starting, the Bush administration begins its own Olympics – the war Olympics."

..................

Kucinich will speak to the Democratic convention on Tuesday. Although seen as a maverick, Kucinich says, "This is a great opportunity for Democrats to come together...uniting for the American people. That is what we have always done."

He admits he is not usually a "booster," but "Barack Obama is our candidate."

1. Kucinich is actually speaking at our Democratic Convention? Hot Damn that's good news!

:applause: I figured they would try to disinvite him because he says what our Dems in power don't want to hear.

I wonder how it happened that the PTB gave him a chance to speak?

Anyway...Great News! :applause:

7. Great to hear DK will speak at the convention, but why no
Al Franken? I heard Tom Allen will speak too, but no Franken...seems very strange.
