Democrats and Republicans united against Iran

Kucinich Lies at the DNC
Wake up, America!

by Mark Yannone

Dennis Kucinich's rabble-rousing lie fest at the 2008 Democratic National Convention will leave you scratching your head. Even a cursory look at a representative sample of the congressional votes affecting our relations with Iran shows all parties to be virtually identical.

A closer look at the nonsense that originates in DC confirms that Congress is responsible for most of the violations of the United States Constitution. Kucinich's effort to blame the president or the Republicans for the nation's ills is sickening. He knows better. Congress is the great enabler, and almost every member of the House and Senate is involved in the crimes. Even here, Dennis Kucinich is advocating the violation of the Constitution and is violating his oath of office.
