Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich questioned President Bush's mental health in light of comments he made about a nuclear Iran precipitating World War III.

"I seriously believe we have to start asking questions about his mental health," Kucinich, an Ohio congressman, said in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer's editorial board on Tuesday. "There's something wrong. He does not seem to understand his words have real impact."

You know Kucinich is no better...

Dennis was told about these crimes long ago & did nothing 2 resolve them...

Just like Edwards talking about how it's time 2
tell the truth = BULLSHIT...

Everyone but Richardson was contacted by me about these event in some way form or fashion..

Here's a breakdown

Dodd / Clinton / Obama + all of the others received a E.F.F. email dated 1/22/2006 from me
about not re-newing the patriot act along with the story of what has happened...

Edwards was told as well as Kerry 2 use the info. as ammo against bush at the Miami debate or LOSE THE ELECTION = they didn't = they lost.

Edwards was faxed / phoned about this...Then left the Senate after defeat...

Kucinichs' office was called / mailed & sent a large manilla envelope containing 10+ pages of
a variety of things pertaining to these crimes.

Biden was sent a official e-mail from within his website well over a year ago & told that the STATE DEPT. WILL continue 2 suffer 1 heart-ache after another until their debt is settled.

Same goes 4 repubs. side with all the Senators running & rudy was likely told.

People running 4 pres. who were in Congress in
6/2004 & onwards were sent 1/22/2006 E.F.F. e-mail both in house/senate...

SO THERE IS THE TRUTH THESE WEASELS WON'T TALK ABOUT...

NOW LET'S SAY THE SHOE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT LIKE 1 OF THEIR CHILDREN / RELATIVES DID WHAT I
DID === WOULD THEY BE SILENCE THEN OR TELLING
THIS TALE TO HI-HEAVEN...

What Bush does may look insane. But it makes good sense after reading an article that addresses this point-by-point: "Facsist America, in 10 Easy Steps",
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=5487
Compare that to immunity for spying on US citizens in FISA, the "issues" with Mukasey, the latest Blackwater immunty. It's illuminating.

Actually, I think Bush really is crazy. Cheney and others who help manipulate him from the shadows are a different kind of crazy/evil. Whether they are crazy nuts or crazy like foxes or a mix of both, they are bad news for this country and the world. Good article, by the way and, yes, very illuminating.

Bush is either a neurotic or a psychotic. A neurotic believes that 2+2=5. A psychotic knows that 2+2=4, but he's damn mad about it. Bush probably is a a sociopath with a Napoleonic complex. Regardless, his paranoia has increased as his popularity and poll numbers have decreased over the past few years as the American people have recognized his failed policies and programs to be unacceptable. This is causing him to be isolated from and annoyed with the American people and his frustration is creating a personality based on arrogance and intolerance to any who confront his position on issues. Not a good situation for a democracy requiring a clear headed, rational thinking leader.

Yes Dennis, the war criminal in chief does have a problem, its diagnosis is best left to the psychiatrists and courts at the hague. It all reflects quite poorly on the US. But reflects even worse on House and Senate which does nothing.

The Democrats major platform for eight years has been simply, "I hate Bush." All of them need different ways to frame their hatred and they need news and creative ways to say it.

The meme of "Bush is crazy" was inevitable, and it was expected that a fringe candidate (who has nothing to lose) would be the one to say it.

In the end, it don't mean nothing. It's just an anklebiter talking smack.

And the Republican reply has been, "B-b-b-but Clinton..."

It's time to get rid of both crime families, and their parties.

Poor George, everybody hates him. But, you have to work pretty hard to only be liked by 24% of the country. Your simplified Foxonian belief that people just hate him for no reason, is the denial you'll face straight on when this country wipes Republicans out of office next year.

I'll give you my very short list of why "I hate Bush". I'm sure others can add to the list.

I hate Bush because he started an unecessary war against a country, that by his own admission, had nothing to do with 9/11.
I hate Bush becuase he has decimated our military.
I hate Bush because he is ruining veterans health care.
I hate Bush because he had his dad get him out of a war his dad supported.
I hate Bush because he has turned the world against us.
I hate Bush because he tortures.
I hate Bush because has no respect for privacy. I hate Bush because he's wasted a huge surplus. I hate Bush because we have a huge deficit.
I hate Bush because he's take more vacations than any President ever, let alone during a time of war.
I hate Bush because he doesn't believe in health care for people who can't afford it.
I hate Bush because he turned our justice department into into his political attack machine.

Well, Ramirez shows up one more time to give his right wing take down.
If the leader of the most powerful military in history has invaded Iraq, is circling Iran with a full complement of warships and missiles, and is talking about starting WWIII, which invading Iran just might do, it's not just "another anklebiter", it's the truth as seen by the most informed analysts in the world. That is, we are on the verge of World War III, and, our president seems to be doing everything he can to start it. So in the humble opinion of quite a few of us, maybe even a majority, that is a crazy thing to do.
American patriots choose to bring our troops home, not invade other countries, mend our fences, take care of our own sadly neglected country.

I'm inclined to think that anyone who this far into the Bush presidency can still defend him and his administration - who/which, among other things, lied us into an unjustifiable war and then totally bungled the follow-up, who have violated the constitution over and over, who think it's ok to torture other human beings and to lie about doing it... is either blind or a little crazy him or her self.

Kucinich is hardly an ankle biter. He's very smart and has a lot to offer and considering the fact that the press barely ever gives him any coverage, he's doing quite well: http://www.dennis4president.com/go/newsroom/kucinich-rides-wave-of-improving-poll-results-into-presidential-debate/

As a fringe candidate, Kucinich can say anything he wants and no one will think anything about it one way or the other. Now he is saying the president is crazy. Oooookay. So, is his rhetoric "over the top"? Hmm. Is there media discussion over his remarks? No. Does the White House express outrage and demand a retraction? No.

Why? Because no one cares.

Kucinich is the only politician who has the balls to say what more than 50% of the country thinks."There's something wrong. He doesn't seem to understand his words have real impact". Exactly Dennis, everytime I see this guy, I expect him to break out and start speaking in tongues, conversing with jeebus, or whoever he speaks with. Do a poll and see what the people say. This man is insane.

It's an allusion to a Groucho Marx line:

mean someone's not out to get you.'

Certainly, Iran only wants to be our friend.
Our 'bridge over troubled water', so to speak.

Mental health implies that a person has the capability for a balanced perception of reality. BUSHY was born on THIRD BASE and thought he hit a HOMER.....

His parental inluence TELLS THE WHOLE STORY- he NEVER had a CHANCE for MENTAL HEALTH! When parents do NOT allow their progeny to experience tha consequences of their actions then those children are reared they are INVINCIBLE, SPECIAL and BETTER than OTHERS- when , in reality, they are MUCH INFERIOR to others in reality judgment, self-esteem issues and compatibility relational needs. A CHIEF ENABLER is required to be the spouse or significant other because they do not have the capacity to judge reality in ANY WAY except through their INORDINATE and INADEQUATE EGO!!

Huck
I am sure glad Dennis is pointing out the insanity of GW and leaving the rest of us alone.

Rudy
I am too. Dennis however is wrong about GW....When I am elected I intend to keep up with almost all his policies, especially you know about THE dangers to us emanating from those slimebags aiming to go nuclear

Huck
Me too. We are the only sane ones, the Dems are all nuts thinking everyone deserves quality healthcare. IF you can't afford the doctor you can prey for a cure and your loved ones can find solace in your piety.

Rudy YES and as I keep saying cost of health care will eventually in a few decades cmes down, and in the meantime those who die because they can't afford it will have been a worthwhile sacrifice in order to keep the profits of the insurcance companies high -- THEY need it with all these huricanes and wildfires cutting into their margins.

Huck YES we are the only sane ones...lets work all night and day on our ammendment to the constitution baning
gay marriage...now that is an issue of profound importance and has been ever since Eden..lets get GW to back us up on this

It doesn't matter if he is insane or not.

Everybody will agree he is an incompetent, stupid person. I have seen no press conference where he has handled an unexpected question with: knowledge, confidence or style. Whenever he gets stuck, ( and this happens a lot ) he tries to make fun of the situation, which is an old trick. You realize, he has no clue what the question meant. Unless instructed before, there is no way he could talk ad lib about history, finances, whatever, you name it.

He is not capable of "selling" anything, unless he sells it to people who are even dumber than he is.

I don't think Bush is nuts, I think he's an
asshole. Same difference, though, I guess,
but starting a war with Iran is just plain
Not Right. Kucinich DOES however, have a point
when he starts talking about impeachability,
not for reason of insanity, but for blatant
illegality of some of the crap that's gone on,
and then there's the Blackwater story, and
then there's the money, and I'm not even
sure I really want to know the Rest Of The
Story, but there are some problems and that's
what Kucinich should focus on if he's talking
impeachment. For Congress to go forward on
impeachment, it's going to take some serious
convincing and well-documented arguments,
and, even if all the info is right, there'
still the issue of The Money. There's some
pretty greasy hands out there, in Congress-land,
tens and hundreds of billions of dollars
involved, so who's going to sign something
that'd derail the Perpetual Neverending Gravy Train? Also, if we end up owing deed and title
on the country to China, what did we win, exactly, in this 'war on terror'?

We live in Interesting Times, made moreso
by long-standing public corruption and Other Problems. I guess the consolation prize is
that there are other crooked countries out
there, too, I have zero faith in the EU
in terms of their ethics and honesty, you
saw how fast they printed 180 billion dollars
to cover over their involvement in the whole
US mortgage thing, there's some pretty crafty
people out there that wouldn't mind watching
OUR country take a face-plant, so in some
ways Bush is just the PBIF, the Poor Bastard
In Front, but in other ways this administration
has been pretty licentious, too. Then, there's
oil, black gold, billions and billions and
someone please exhume Carl Sagan so we can
have someone that can count...

Hm.

There is not a clean line between insanity and civility. Not a single reliable measurement that one could use to evaluate someone's mental health. It is an art, an obscure art, not a science.

But with Bush, Kucinich is spot on. Dumbya probably let it be known very, very early, when he said: "Well *I'M* the President now." and "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
