ubejinxed Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 DENNIS KUCINICH I dunno if this was posted b4 but DENNIS KUCINICH Environment and Energy Kucinich pledges to toughen enforcement of environmental protections and to use tax incentives to encourage businesses to conserve energy, prevent pollution and eliminate toxins from manufacturing. He supports the Kyoto agreement curbing carbon gas outputs, and encourages investment in alternative energy sources like hydrogen, solar and wind power. He hopes to see the U.S. eventually export renewable energy technologies. Foreign Policy & Defense Kucinich voted against the war in Iraq, and he wants troops brought home immediately, leaving the postwar rebuilding to the United Nations. He would stress diplomacy and work to reinstate treaties the Bush Administration withdrew from. He proposes banning weapons from space, and a cabinet-level Department of Peace to promote nonviolence at home and abroad. He would cut military spending he considers wasteful. On trade, Kucinich would withdraw from NAFTA and the World Trade Organization, and negotiate future agreements with conditions guaranteeing labor standards, human rights and environmental protection. He wants to lift the embargo on Cuba. Education Kucinich believes schools need to emphasize creative and critical thinking over test-preparation. He would dramatically increase funding to reduce class sizes, increase teacher salaries, renovate buildings and expand pre-school and after-school programs. He proposes reducing the costs of college, although he hasn't provided details, and also to provide job training for students who aren't college bound. Homeland Security and Immigration Kucinich wants to repeal the Patriot Act, which he feels encroaches too much on civil liberties. His cabinet level Department of Peace would address violence in the home, spousal abuse, child abuse, gangs and police-community relations conflicts.

Clark is a sure-shot. but Kucinich is who SHOULD be. people on 12oz actually voted for Bush??? agreed, 100 percent. bush deserves to be impeached. if you're wondering why, read that old post about all his "achievements" in ch. zero. dean goes back and forth, who really knows where his agenda is? at first he was gaining plenty of praise from the media, now it's all turned into complaint and insult. but i think clark is where it's at, even though kucinich deserves it and has the right ideas. nice quiz, fuck yall.
