it seems a structural feature of being a politico at all.
this seems to me like one of those variables that effectively cancels out as you move to solve an equation that initially involves it.
of you are making a particular claim about kucinich that goes beyond the above--and it is obviously possible to do so in certain cases--then why not just make the claim?

My question to DC has a history to it. I have no problem with people doing what they think is in their best intrest or doing things for political gain, good often comes from it. For some reason when I say a democrat has a political agenda ( perhaps because of my level of certainty or my tone), many seem to take offense to the comment. However, it is what it is, and I do agree that people can be motivated by multiple reasons.
I just read the second exhibit posted by Kucinich.
Here is were Cheney talks about weapons of mass destruction:

With respect to the question on Iraq, the United States has made clear in statements by the president and others in his administration that we are concerned about the Iraqi pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and in particular, the failure of the government of Iraq to comply with U.N. Security Council Resolution 687 agreed to at the end of the Gulf War which committed Iraq to get rid of, eliminate all of their weapons of mass destruction. We know that that has not happened, that they have not complied with 687. We know that they have chemical weapons. Of course they’ve used them in the past against the Iranians and the Curds. We know they have biological weapons, and we know they are pursuing nuclear weapons.

This is strike two in my book. Please can someone point out the lie?
