Just reading the commentary on Kucinich's explanation tells me that you wasted your time commenting here, "J" (if that is your real name). Your disdain for common sense lumps you squarely with the money grubbing members Pat Maginnis mentioned in his post to this article on on June 27, 2009 - 6:14pm.

We need people from both sides of the aisle who have common sense and who can engage in good debate with immutable facts. The Congressman from Ohio did just that, and you're pissed?

I'm a conservative, but I believe that Congressman Kucinich did three things that benefit the American people here: He based his vote on common sense, he represented Americans over his own personal gain, and he presented an explanation to the people who hired him; Ohioans. Ohio, and America, should be proud.
