The Kucinich Presidential campaign has unveiled its first television commercial -- "No more blood for oil" -- and is previewing it with supporters and friends on the campaign website http://kucinich.us/node/4580/play and on popular Internet sites, including YouTube and MySpace.
Using the all-too-familiar sights and sounds of a gas pump ringing up the higher and higher cost of filling up the tank, the pump then begins registering even higher and more disturbing numbers: dead and wounded U.S. soldiers; innocent Iraqis killed, wounded, and displaced; the staggering profits of oil companies; potential profits from "stealing Iraq's oil;" and U.S. tax dollars spent on the war in Iraq. It concludes with the message: "No more blood for oil."
Kucinich, D-OH, is the only Presidential candidate who voted against the original war authorization in 2002 and every war-funding appropriation since. He recently delivered an unprecedented hour-long speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives documenting that an Administration "benchmark" buried deep in the recent war supplemental appropriation would actually allow international oil companies to privatize Iraq's oil industry and gain control of upwards of 80% of Iraq production and reserves.
"Congressman Kucinich has been absolutely right about this since the beginning, and only recently have some of the other Democratic candidates recognized that they were wrong in authorizing and continuing to fund this war for all these years," the campaign said in a statement. "They had a chance to stop it before it began, and they could have stopped funding it anytime since. They didn't."
The commercial provides a dramatic and powerful visualization of the consequences of those decisions. It was produced by the campaign's in-house creative staff, headed by Chad Ely, National Media Director, and video editor Eric Blumrich. The campaign is planning a wider distribution in the near future.
Authorized and paid for by Kucinich for President 2008.
Kucinich is irrelevant.
Yes, I agree (though his wife is a hottie!). But if you want to know what the far-left moonbats are thinking, his website is very informative.
I wrote a nice little email for him saying that the ‘Naked Bike Riders for Peace’ could use him.
“No more blood for freedom...”
We may as well submit to the religion of peace sooner than later.
NO BLOOD FOR CORN!
Now there’s a mental image!
Kucinich is Alfred E. Newman’s ugly brother.
ping for a morning laugh
What an absolute and total moron! All he has to do is stop using oil, and get his supporters to stop using oil. The problem will go away if enough people stop. Unbelievable!
D-OH = DumbA$$-Ohio
Keep em coming Dennis.
We would want anyone to miss out on the fact that you are an idiot.
Kucinich is one howdy doodie dumbass clown.
What a moonbat. For his statement to be believable, we should be getting soem sort of oil benefit from the war!
Instead, we have what, $3 a gallon?
We should invade Venezuala- or Mexico.
BLOOD FOR OIL! yay!
Come on man, why are you dissing Gollem by comparing him to the likes of Dennis the moron?
I thought he’d dropped out by now.
However, he is the Capitan of his Star Trek reenactment club. And I hear he is a pretty good Dungeons and Dragons player (level five wizard, something like that). So at least he's got that going for him.
