What Does it Take to Buy a Vote?-Ask Dennis Kucinich

How much does it take to get a lawmaker in Washington to change his/her vote on one of the most momentous pieces of legislation in our times? Not much. Witness the case Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH).



Dennis Kucinich

"Yes, Mr. President."


In the case of Kucinich, what it took was a ride on Air Force One Monday with President Obama plus talks with the President and Nancy Pelosi-plus God knows what else.

Thus, Kucinich, who had been thought to have his own mind, switched his vote from a "no" to a "yes" in the twinkling of a plane ride.

Did Dennis Kucinich join the Mile High Club?

That's how our future is being decided, folks.....by rides on Air Force One.
