Do you oppose government enforced medication? Kucinich doesn't.

In congress Kucinich has taken time to introduce a bill to ban space based mind control weapons that don't exist. He hasn't bothered to introduce a bill to ban forced medication that exists in USA (not only Vermont) which pretty clearly means that he approves of it (or at least considers it a lot less important issue than fictional space weapons).

(I have no special antipathy against Kucinich BTW, only against his supporters who use obsessed exaggerations and twisted "logic" to attack especially Dean.)

1. I understand your frustration...

...but I don't think starting threads like this is a good idea. Parody once or twice is fine, but as it gets tiresome responding to the same Dean-bash themes over and over again, it is also exhausting seeing the same kinds of 'respond in kind'. Keep in mind, a good quarter of what's being dealt with are just rabble-rousers, more than half are sincere supporters, and a quarter are the types that will encourage DK to run as a third party spoiler if he doesn't get the nomination...let's not alienate the half that are sincere supporters completely in responding to the flamebaits and bombthrowers...

2. Parody or not, this thread is a waste of space

If you want to challenge DK on his positions,,,go for it. Childish "parody" is pointless.

3. nice fallacy

because he hasn't passed a bill against it he is for it.

Well passage of a bill for mandatory medication does show support. Not creating a bill against mandatory medication does not show support for mandatory medication.

4. Shameless bump.

Idiotic attacks rule this forum... I don't like it, but I like even less that they are one-sided... :-)

6. I did some research

...and didn't find anything that would have shown that Kucinich opposes forced medication. Are you implying that you have done some research that shows otherwise?

8. So in otherwords your title is purposely misleading

I guess that's Dean's sole strategy - to mislead others. Sorry Tricky Dick, we impeached you and we don't want you back.

Thank you for proving how deceptive and sleazy the Dean campaign is.

9. Thanks for the bump, Mr. Projecting,

but I was really planning to bump this thread only to keep it above those "Dean is Mengele" threads that were started first. If they sink, so will this.
