We cannot afford another Republican administration."
Bouncing on his feet and gesturing enthusiastically with his fist, he said corporate interests had taken over the United States. But, he said, America could fight back.
"This administration can tap our phones; they can't tap our creative spirit," he said, closing his brief address with, "Up with Obama-Biden! Wake up, America! Wake up, America! Wake up, America!"
Kucinich was one of the early speakers on the second day of the convention in Denver, Colorado.

If this were the Olympics, Obama would win gold for inexperience, lies, and false hope.

It will become known as the “Wake Up, America” speech.

“Fellow Democrats, are you ready for November?” he asked.

“It’s election day 2008 and we Democrats are giving America a wake up call. Wake up, America!”


In 2001, the oil companies and the war contractors seized the country and added four trillion dollars to the national debt.

“Millions of Americans have lost their jobs; trillions of dollars for an unwarranted war paid for with borrowed money; tens of millions of dollars in cash and weapons disappeared into thin air at the cost of the lives of our troops and innocent Iraqis.”

Meanwhile, with the U.S. helping to rebuild infrastructure in Iraq and Afghanistan, “there is no money to rebuild bridges in America.”

Then he launched into a “Wake Up” litany:

“The insurance companies took over health care. Wake up, America!"

“The pharmaceutical companies took over drug prices. Wake up, America”

“The speculators took over Wall Street. Wake up, America!”

With each refrain, the delegates grew more frenzied.

“We went into Iraq for oil, and now they want to drill more… into your wallet. Wake up America.

“This administration can tap our phones but they can’t tap our creative spirit. They can open our mail but they can’t open economic opportunities. They can track our every move but they lost track of the economy.
He played on the terror alert level “color chart.”

“Every day we get the color orange while the oil companies, the insurance companies, the speculators, the war contractors get the color green. Wake up, America.

“This is not a call for you to take a new direction from right to left; this is a call for you to go from down to up.

“Up with peace!” Kucinich yelled to approving roars. “Up with prosperity! Up with education! Up with Democrats!

So why not vote for a new born baby that wasn't aborted? They will be so damn inexperienced they won't even know what the F is going on.

How will you feel when Obama is getting bullied by old Bug Eyes in Korea, Nuke'em in Iran or Vladimir Putin in Russia?

[Uno]

[C-Gold]

I was at work at 3:48... were you? Maybe I should have been collecting signatures in the violent ghetto neighborhoods. Maybe in 25 years I can exploit that experience for political gain.

 

[JudgeWapner]

At 3:48 I was taking my siesta. God bless Costa Rica.

 

[3peet]

Fuckin guy absolutely killed it! Way to call out the NEOCONartists!

Facist MSM not giving him any coverage either as he was easily the best speech of the night.

 

[Romanowski]

lol at killed it and Kookinich in same sentence

Im still laughing at you retards

 

[Chenmen]

kucinich sounds and looks like a 10 y/o in a suit

 

[nimue77]

Dennis is just a good little Democrat who is going to support any democrat no matter how shitty. Obama is an interventionist and a big spender and has shown he will not protect the US Constitution and our freedoms. For his interventionism, see his stand on Afghanistan and also all his votes to fund the war in Iraq. FISA, Patriot II are examples of voting against the constitution and our freedoms. I would bet that the military commissions act remains in place. Patriot Acts and Real ID too. Obama and the Democratic Party elite are anti-liberty just as Mccain and the Republican elite are too.

I really like this guy, too bad hes a democrat. He seems to be one of the very few politicians who gives a fuck about the actual people

 

[Willie99]

His actions and mannerisms are actually funnier than his policy positions. We have got to let middle America see this speech as often as possible.

I kinda forgot about the safe seat Mr Irrelevant in recent months.

Please Dennis, stump hard for Obama this fall, show your face as often as possible, along with Howard & Harry & Nancy & even BO himself. They ain't no Bubba.

These guys won in 2006 because they shut the fuck up and let the anti-war sentiment carry the day. Now they think the country actually thinks like they do.

Seriously, I was laughing at the man.
