It is a given that members of Congress can multi-task. Do you think it possible that a Democrat can have an agenda to gain publicity or do things for purely political reasons?

It is highly probable. but I just dont have the insight into each decision made by a politician to know his underlying motives with such certainty...so I dont make blanket generalizations.
It seems to me Kucinich shares a personal quality or trait with Bush/Cheney... "they say what they mean and mean what they say" and "are unwavering, even in spite of public opinion"
(paraphrasing your words). You find it admirable in Bush/Cheney and characterize it as less than noble in Kucinich. Go figure.
ace....do you thiink Bush lied to the American people when he said:
On Meet the Press, Feb 04:
President Bush: I went to Congress with the same intelligence — Congress saw the same intelligence I had, and they looked at exactly what I looked at, and they made an informed judgment based upon the information that I had. The same information, by the way, that my predecessor had. And all of us, you know, made this judgment that Saddam Hussein needed to be removed.

or in this speech on Veterans Day 05:
That's why more than a hundred Democrats in the House and the Senate -- who had access to the same intelligence -- voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power.
