Kucinich: Vote or surrender to the ‘forces of nihilism’

Kucinich to liberals: Vote or surrender to the ‘forces of nihilism’


WASHINGTON kucinich2 Kucinich to liberals: Vote or surrender to the forces of nihilism– As Democrats fear a wave of losses in next Tuesday's elections, due in part to a lack of enthusiasm within their base, one progressive champion made an impassioned plea for liberals to head to the polls and and vote.

"We can get out there and make our voices heard, or we can let the forces of nihilism take over," Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) told Raw Story in an exclusive interview late Tuesday afternoon.

The Cleveland Democrat warned liberals that a Republican takeover of the House of Representatives – a likely scenario, according to election experts – could surrender the levers of power to "megalomaniacal neoconservatives who are more in need of mental attention."

Kucinich is one honest legislator that always garners my full attention. Wish there were a few hundred more Reps. just like him.

1. Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude...
...At least it's an ethos.

2. More like forces of teh crazy
Nihilism I can understand somewhat. Batshit crazy is beyond me.

But thanks for reminding us why we all must get out and vote, Dennis.

3. Spot on. Only a fool would surrender power to Republicans at this point in time.
I hope there are not many people, many Democrats who cannot grasp the concept of the peril that Republican control of Congress at this time would place this nation.
