Well of course. It's Dennis Kucinich. He's been trying to do this for a long time. Not much chance of it passing a Repuke House though. I'm sure Ron Paul would sign on to it, but he would be the only one.
Worse yet, Ohio's numbers went down in the last census, so they're scheduled to lose a congressional district, and the corporatist pigs are pushing damn hard to make sure that it's Dennis' district that gets gerrymandered out of existence. They can't defeat him in an election, so now population decrease caused by three decades of fucked economic policies have given them a new way to get rid of himEat Us And Smile

Ohio was outsourced to China and Mexico. At least the manufacturing base was. So much for services and technology making up for it. India got the service jobs.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Dennis Kucinich has the right idea? FUCK HIM! This is the guy with the best dental care in the world made available to him for free. Idiot bites down on an olive pit, chips his tooth, and sues for $150,000 for pain & suffering. Again I say FUCK HIM!
He's just another douche bag liberal who thinks everyone else needs to pay. I've chipped a tooth on a cornchip & didn't sue anyone. I went to the fucking dentist that I had insurance for. I've known plenty of other people that have chipped teeth on different food items and never sued anyone. Yeah, it sucks there was an olive pit in there, but I bet it wasn't on purpose. Accidents happen. And then it's time for him to use that free dental care we all pay for him. Not sue the company for an extra $150k to line his pocket.
You can't sue for every god damned thing that goes shitty in your life...you just can't.
Most shocking was the guy was eating a sandwich. I thought the guy only munched on cookies he made in a hollow tree somewhere.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Nice FAUX noize level distortion there, Sadie. This was a bit more serious than a "chipped tooth". And no, his insurance didn't cover it, by the way....
Dennis Kucinich Settles Olive-Pit-In-Sandwich Lawsuit
THOMAS J. SHEERAN 01/28/11 05:26 PM AP
CLEVELAND — Rep. Dennis Kucinich said Friday that he settled a lawsuit filed against a Capitol Hill cafeteria over a split tooth he says he suffered when he bit into an olive pit in a sandwich wrap.
The lawsuit filed in early January in Washington had sought $150,000 in damages from companies involved with the Longworth House Office Building cafeteria. The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount that reflected out-of-pocket costs, according to the parties involved.
The Ohio congressman said biting into the pit in April 2008 split a tooth down to the bone, caused excruciating pain and required reconfigured bridgework. The damaged tooth became infected, and he suffered a reaction to an antibiotic and an intestinal obstruction that required emergency medical attention, Kucinich said.
The initial dental implant to replace the split tooth failed and required a second attempt, he said. None of the dental expenses were covered by insurance, he said.
Kucinich, a liberal who made an unsuccessful bid for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, said he was satisfied with the legal outcome.
"I feel that the defendants have responded fairly and reasonably," he said in a statement. "I don't want to have to make another dental visit for a very long time."
One company named in the lawsuit, Compass Group USA Inc., declined to release settlement terms.
"The parties have exchanged information and, after some investigation and discussion, have resolved the matter for an amount all parties believe reflects the actual out-of-pocket expenses related to this incident," the company said in a statement.
A second company named in the lawsuit, Performance Food Group Co., didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.Eat Us And Smile

dennis kucinich and ron paul are not electable 2012 GOP presidential candidates.

With all the exposed corruption and the economy tanking 2012 will be a very different election. I think by then food and fuel prices will be through the roof with lot's of angry people protesting all over the place. Obama's lies and charm are going to wear thin.No!
