Denver, CO —<\/strong> Maybe his presentation is not very Presidential, but you’ve got to hand it to Dennis Kucinich. He’s the energizer bunny for economic and social justice in the Democratic Party. And tonight, he didn’t disappoint. Even as Delegates were streaming in, just before prime time on the East Coast, Kucinich brought the Pepsi Center to its feet with an impassioned plea:<\/p>\n

“Wake Up, America!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Kucinich landed stinging jabs on Bush-Cheney-McCain, calling them “neocon artists.” He took them to task for turning our country over to the oil companies, pharmaceuticals, and financial speculators. Most poignantly, and to rousing applause, Dennis called the war in Iraq “a war for oil,” and placed direct responsibility for the deaths of US troops and innocent Iraqi civilians squarely at the feet of Republicans.<\/p>\n

Dennis Kucinich’s voice is unique in big-time Democratic politics and he legitimately represents the grassroots activist base of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Kucinich’s voice needs to be amplified. \u00c2\u00a0He’s the real deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
