Kucinich Calls for Cutting Off Iraq War Funds
"That’s the only way we’re going to end this war."
Kucinich, Nov 15, 2006
Dems in Congress can taste cut and run even before they run Congress.
Elected by the far left, they are on a mission from them with priority goals in focus, one of which being Iraq evacuation.
Congressman Kucinich called Wednesday for cutting off funding of the
Iraq war, as the surest way out of Iraq...
"I want to say that there's one solution here, and it's not to
engage in a debate with the President, who has taken us down a path of
disaster in Iraq, but it's for Congress to assume the full power that
it has under the Constitution to cut off funds. We don't need to keep
indulging in this debate about what to do, because as long as we keep
temporizing, the situation gets worse in Iraq.
"We have to determine that the time has come to cut off funds.
There’s enough money in the pipeline to achieve the orderly withdrawal
that Senator McGovern is talking about. But cut off funds, we must.
That's the ultimate power of the Congress, the power of the purse.
That's how we'll end this war, and that’s the only way we’re going to
end this war...
"We have to take a whole new approach. We’re spending over $400
billion a year, money that's also needed for healthcare, for education,
for job creation, for seniors...
...We’re borrowing money from China. We’re not
looking at our trade deficit. We’re not looking at conditions, where
people are going bankrupt trying to pay their hospital bills. We need
to shift our direction, and the direction has to be away from the
continued militarization of the United States society."...
This budget is borrowed and Mr Kucinich fails to recognize that fact. he wants to spend in other areas. How much will be allocate towards employment and what are his projections as to new jobs? What happens to the 'returned ' military? Where will the health care money be spent, illegals? What percentage of employees have better retirement benefits than teachers?
These people are leftists. They are socialists who love to live off others and hate guns. Imagine future deals for oil that require America to run that damn AL-Z network on a major channel and carry prayer rugs because pinheads like this fought to not fight.

I would love to see them put this to a vote as soon as the new congress convenes in January.
Should be very interesting.
