Dennis Kucinich Rocks DNC: 'Wake Up America!'

2008-10-29T09:40:28Z

It's Election Day, 2008. We Democrats are giving America a wake up call. Wake up America. In 2001, the oil companies, the war contractors and the neo-con artists seized the economy, and have added four trillion dollars of unproductive spending to the national debt.

We now pay four times more for defense, three times more for gasoline and home heating oil, and twice what we paid for health care. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, their homes, their health care, their pensions. Trillions of dollars for an unnecessary war paid with borrowed money. Tens of billions of dollars in cash and weapons disappeared into thin air, at the cost of the lives of our troops and innocent Iraqis, while all the President's oilmen are maneuvering to grab Iraq's oil.

Borrowed money to bomb bridges in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. No money to rebuild bridges in America. Money to start a hot war with Iran. Now we have another cold war with Russia while the American economy has become a game of Russian roulette.

If there was an Olympics for misleading, mismanaging and misappropriating this Administration would take the gold. World records for violations of national and international laws. They want another four year term to continue to alienate our allies, spend our children's inheritance and hollow out our economy. We can't afford it America.

John McCain: Employee Town Hall 08/11/08

2008-10-28T21:31:38Z

John McCain
Employee Town Hall
Erie, PA 08/11/08

TRASCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: Yessir.

WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: What role do you think technology plays in job growth in the United States?

MCCAIN: I have no doubt about it. I was reading a paper the other day. In 1960 the industries that were the top 20 industries in America--I think something like 15 of them have disappeared. No longer anywhere not only in the Fortune 500, but it just literally disappeared through acquisition mergers or they didn't keep up with technology, but I'd also like to mention one other thing about technology. It has made information and knowledge available throughout the world in an incredible fashion and it's unbelievable now the access to information and knowledge that people have all over the world and the places that are the worst off are directly related to those that don't have it.

I went to Google one time and, if you go into their main lobby, there's a huge globe and it rotates slowly and there are little beams of light that come out of it and these are people that are Googling at certain times of the day and night and it's pretty impressive when you see, as the globe turns, until Africa comes up. Then it's black and there's just no information. So information obviously is power and knowledge.

Look at this product. Compared to the one that they built, as short [of] a time as ten years ago--much less 20 or 30 years ago. It's evolving technology and I just want to get back again to my fundamental point: the most productive and most competitive worker in the world resides in the United States of America and I never concede that a worker any place else in the world isn't the most capable and the most productive and when people do that, it makes me wonder.

Look at the history of America. Where did the internet come from besides Al Gore?(And, by the way, I have great respect for Vice President Gore and I mean that. He's a great person.) But look at where all the latest technological advances have come from in the world. Nine times out of 10: United States of America.

We all know the story of Bill Gates and his friends how start in a garage. We all know the stories that abound in America of the successes that we have achieved, but we also have to reform education, but that's a whole 'nother subject but the information technology that's available in the world today is one of the greatest advances in the history of civilization. There are down sides to it.

The terrorists are able to use this as recruitment tool and motivation and other bad things. Internet child pornography is a plague that we have to stop. We have to stop and it has also helped with other evils such as human sex trafficking and others, but, overall, it's been probably the greatest change in the history of the world or certainly ranks up there with the printing press and other advances that have been made.
