The Democratic National Convention is set up much like a large week long concert, the small acts go up much earlier than the big headliners, which get prime time coverage. However just like in a good concert, before the amazing main acts, in the DNC’s case, Michelle Obama, and Hilary Clinton, there are a few small bands that wow the crowd in the opening acts. One of these opening acts was Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a former candidate in the Democratic Primaries, Kucinich was regarded as a far left candidate that was a bit extreme at times, the Democratic answer to Ron Paul, if you will. Even though Kucinich could not relate to moderate America he is still extremely appreciated in the democratic circle, as was seen in his speech.
While only speaking for five minutes, Kucinich hammered on the Republicans and their ill-fated policies. The unconstitutionalism? of this administration, the tremendous debt caused by this war, the threat of the US becoming an oligarchy, run by oil, healthcare, and pharmaceutical corporations. Kucinich wants Americans to? wake up and take control? of their own nation, because if they don?t, the government could control the people, instead of the people controlling their government.
Watch the video, and see the reaction of the crowd yourself.
