Jason Werner

For congress

Decisive Leadership for the 10th Congressional District of Ohio

 

September 12, 2007

 

For Immediate Release

 

OLMSTED TOWNSHIP – Jason Werner, a Republican candidate for U.S. House, looking to unseat the “communist Hon. Dennis J. Kucinich in 2008” wanted an email he received to be publicly available with the author’s permission. The message, with which he agrees and is glad more people are seeing the seriousness of communism in America, is from a resident of Fairview Park, who owns his own small business.

 

 

 

Mr. Werner:

 

    I recently heard yet another person mention "political correctness" off-handedly as if it were of no matter. "Political Correctness" is in its very essence Stalin's "Orthodox Ideology". "Orthodox Ideology" in turn is Stalin's interpretation of Marx's contrived philosophy that he referred to as "Dialectical Materialism". Stalin shortened it to "Diamat".  "Diamat" is the philosophy of Soviet Communism and rooted in all good communists' profound and zealous belief that all change is "progressive" - not necessarily good - just "progressive". This dogma is contradicted by an enormous body of evidence that proves just the opposite as I am sure you realize. The failure of the former Soviet Union stands as one small part of that body.

 

    Communism is the largest and most short-lived pseudo-religion of atheism. Communists do not believe that anything exists except "matter-in-motion". Consequently, they do not believe in any God, Spiritual Life or even any objective standard of morality. In fact, their equivalent to Judeo-Christian morality is little more than the sum total of rationalizations they employed and continue to employ to justify their incredibly destructive policies and procedures. I point this out knowing that your opponent employs a number of avowed communists on his campaign staff.

 

    Obviously, communists assign meanings to words that are not necessarily the same as the meanings the average American Citizen understands. In this regard it is much like our own corrupted legal system that has derived a coded language of its own to deceive the people as to what they intend in terms of pursuing their own individual and collective self-interest. It’s good to remember that the ruling communists don't recognize any need whatsoever to be honest with their slave subjects. All that matters is that change occurs because change is "progressive". And change is an end in and of itself for those who express belief and/or membership in their pseudo-religion. Restated, the end always justifies the means and this is why they are able to murder millions with impunity in places like Russia, the former Eastern Bloc and China to name a few.

 

    Today the United States stands on the brink of electing communists to power in the State and Federal governments. Many of us have been deceived by their false promises and many have turned their back on God at the communists' behest. I would like to leave you with a phrase I heard on the loud speaker of every Metro train I rode in Moscow and St. Petersburg just before it left the station (so long as it wasn't broken). “Beware the closing doors. Next stop - (the name of the next Metro Station).” For Americans I would like to substitute the word "tyranny" for the name of the Metro Station. Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Johnny Rotten makes a lot of sense.

Like Kucinich really thinks he has a chance, against Hillary.

 

Hillary will win every democratic primary (or insure that she wins every primary), she will be announced as the Democratic nomination at the Dems convention next August.

 

Then, she will face off against either Rudy or Mitt in the November elections

 

Expect 0.5% voter turnout for that one.

Um. No. I'm pretty sure it's David for president.

Free martinis at my forum!!!

Communists do not believe that anything exists except "matter-in-motion". Consequently, they do not believe in any God, Spiritual Life or even any objective standard of morality.

 

What!?!?!?!

 

I am no proponent of Communism, but I think it's funny how right-wingers will make things up to make sure everyone views it as an evil political system instead of what it really is (in my opinion)...a noble set of ideals which is completely unrealistic in the context of actual human behavior.  It is simply extreme far-left politics, and is no more "evil" than extreme far-right politics.

 

How did the right-wingers start mixing politics and religion anyways?  Christianity falls more in line with liberal fiscal policies than conservative ones.

Kucinich sees UFO, new book claims

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has seen a UFO, writes Shirley MacLaine in her new book, "Sage-Ing While Age-Ing."

 

Kucinich, she writes on page143-144 of the book, "had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there. Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him. It hovered, soundless, for ten minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind."

Elizabeth Kucinich: My Husband Would "Absolutely" Consider Running With Ron Paul

Denny K actually owns a home on my street. One of his aids actually keeps the house up, but I see him there about once a month or so.

There was a reason I did not post that here. I did not think the article had anything to do with his presidency run. But if the powers that be so deem it...

I like how Kucinich's congressional opponent announced his candidacy on the anniversary of Kucinich sending the city into default.

Although he is no longer running, interesting article from San Fran:

Who will take on the banks?

Robert Scheer, Creators Syndicate, Inc.

 

Wednesday, January 23, 2008

 

It was smart of the top Democrats to cut presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich out of that South Carolina debate, where they lamely attempted to deal with the dire consequences of the banking meltdown without confronting the banks. They made all the proper concerned noises about millions of folks losing their retirement savings and homes, but none was willing to say what Kucinich would have: Bankers are crooks who will steal from the public unless the government holds them accountable.

 

How do I know Kucinich would have said that? Because I interviewed him for the Los Angeles Times back when he was mayor of Cleveland and the banks foreclosed on his city after he refused to sell the public power plant. Others can talk a populist line, but Kucinich lived it. He was forced out of office that time, but voters realized 10 years later that Kucinich had been right. Thanks to the public power alternative that Kucinich refused to sacrifice, Cleveland had cheap power, and he was elected to the state Legislature and then to Congress as his reward.

 

I bring this up now not to push a Kucinich presidential candidacy, which seems quite forlorn given the power of big money and big media to set the stage for permissible political debate, but rather to hold out a yardstick for measuring the "progressivism" of the top three Democrats. Sure, they would all be preferable to their likely Republican alternatives, although Sen. John McCain has been far better than all three Democrats on both campaign-finance reform and taking on the defense contractors who have been bleeding us dry since 9/11. I got a little worried when Sen. Hillary Clinton said she could do the best job confronting McCain on national security because she is shameless in throwing money at war profiteers, while McCain has held the line on some of the more egregiously wasteful military expenditures.

 

With a military budget that has more than doubled since 9/11, soaking up trillions of dollars in obligations for future generations, it is stupid to argue about whether the Democrats or Republicans will spend more on needed domestic programs, because the money will not be available. Kucinich was the one candidate on the Democratic side willing to do what Rep. Ron Paul has in the Republican debates - challenge the phony patriotism of ripping off the taxpayers for war-fighting expenditures in Iraq and elsewhere, leaving us less secure.

 

While Paul is very good, indeed the best candidate, on the waste of taxpayer dollars on foreign military ventures as is expected from a libertarian, he is hostile to the need for government regulation to control the excesses of the marketplace. And it is those excesses that are now at the root of the financial chaos we have visited upon the world. As with the Enron scandal, which was the direct result of the bipartisan-supported deregulation of the energy industry, so too the subprime mortgage and easy-credit scandals now upon us. For decades, banking lobbyists have pushed through legislation freeing them to wreak havoc on our lives while they profit from lucrative personal bailouts even as their own companies suffer.

 

Deregulation became the mantra covering corporate theft in both Republican and Democratic administrations, and it is amazing that not one of her interlocutors at the South Carolina debate asked Hillary Clinton about her husband's signing of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which permitted banks, stockbrokers and insurance companies to merge, overturning one of the major regulatory achievements of the New Deal. More important, both political parties have refused to place any serious restraints on the interest charged by banks and think it perfectly normal, indeed healthy, for the economy that folks are given home loans or credit cards at unrealistic interest rates calculated to soar after an introductory phase. What a sorry scene to have the top Democratic contenders unable to agree that some interest rates below 30 percent may rise to the level of usury.

 

For those unfamiliar with the moral crime of usury, believing it's only a legal crime if loan sharks threaten your kneecaps, let me quote from Ezekiel 22:12 of the King James Bible: "thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God." Not being overly familiar with Scripture, I am grateful to Kucinich, a product of a stern Catholic upbringing, for having informed me, more than a quarter of a century ago, that the bankers, and the politicians who service them, are courting the wrath of God - even if they fool the voters.

Dennis Kucinich's resolution to impeach Bush draws ridicule

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich's surprise resolution this week to impeach President Bush has irritated some of his fellow Democrats and drawn ridicule from Republicans, but it got support from at least one colleague.

 

"It is time for Congress to stand up and defend the Constitution against the blatant violations and illegalities of this administration," said Rep. Robert Wexler, a Florida Democrat.

Maybe rename this thread to something different?

"Kucinich read the 35-count resolution on the House floor Monday night, taking nearly five hours."

 

SOMEone loves the sound of their own voice. :roll: I agree with the intent, but how about working on something that COULD be accomplished?

I think he just missed the attention his waste of people's money campaign he runs every 4 years, so he did this because he knew it'd make headlines.

Maybe rename this thread to something different?

Nancy Pelosi for President!!

There is now a website dedicated to Kucinich's opponent.  www.pursuethetruth.com

 

Laugh your arse off at Jason Werner.

 

Stay tuned for his 2010 campaign!  LOL

You mean we should take a break from laughing at Kucinich?

Done

 

Dear Friends,

 

With your support, your phone calls, your emails, we won a major legislative victory today for a state single payer health care option in the House of Representatives in Washington, DC. The House Education and Labor Committee approved the Kucinich Amendment by a vote of 27-19, with 14 Democrats and 13 Republicans voting yes.

 

The amendment propels the growing single payer health care movement at the state level. There are at least ten states which have active single payer efforts in their legislatures. They are California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, New York, [glow=red,2,300]Ohio[/glow], Pennsylvania and Washington. The amendment mandates a single payer state will receive the right to waive the application of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), which has in the past been used to nullify efforts to expand state or local government health care.

 

Under the Kucinich Amendment a state's application for a waiver from ERISA is granted automatically if the state has signed into law a single payer plan. With the amendment, for the first time, the state single payer health care option is shielded from an ERISA-based legal attack. Now that the underlying bill has been passed, as amended, by the full committee, we must make sure that Congress knows that we want the provision kept in the bill at final passage!

 

The state single payer option was one of five major amendments which I obtained support to get included in HR3200. One amendment brings into standard coverage for the first time complementary and alternative medicine, (integrative medicine). Another amendment drives down the cost of prescription drugs by ending pharmaceutical industry's sharp practices manipulating physician prescribing habits. An amendment stops the insurance industry from increasing premiums at the time when people are not permitted to change health plans; and finally an amendment imposing a requirement on insurance companies that they disclose the cost of advertising, marketing and executive compensation expenses (which generally divert money from patient care).

 

Please make sure you post this message on your social networking site, ask all your friends to get involved and encourage everyone you know to sign up at www.Kucinich.us so we can build full momentum behind this movement for real health care.

 

Let's do this!

Dear Dennis,

 

Let's not!

ROFL

 

Actually, that ERISA amendment sounds like it might have potential, simply because I think almost anything that reduces the reach of ERISA has to have some merit.  It's a Byzantine system that primarily provides tremendous amounts of billable hours for high-priced lawyers.  However, now that I know that Kucinich is in favor of this, I'll have to rethink my position and see if I missed something.  If Kucinich sees it as thwarting his ambitions, it may be that ERISA is accomplishing something worthwhile after all.

Convoluted reasoning there, Gramarye.  Do you really think that this is about Congressman Kucinich's "ambitions"?

Um, yes?  He's made his ambitions pretty clear and unambiguous for just about as long as he's been in politics.

^ go look up "projection" in the dictionary

If you say so.

<a href=http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/03/stats-say-kucinich-may-be-least.html">Dennis Kucinich is the least valuble Democrat</a>

 

Dennis Kucinich, who voted against health care, the hate crimes bill, the budget, the cap-and-trade bill, and financial regulation -- all ostensibly from the left -- in spite of coming from from the strongly Democratic Ohio 10th district near Cleveland....Kucinich's score of -4.22 is not only worse than that of any other Democrat: it is also worse than that of all but 22 Republicans.

I suspect that Kucinich's "no" votes were because the legislation was not liberal enough for his tastes.

That's what 538 explicitly states ... see the paragraphs immediately above the chart.
