There's Only One Kucinich, Luckily

Fresh back from Syria, where he served as a media pawn for President Assad, Democrat presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich took a proud stand today, voting against the September 11th Commemoration Resolution in the House. In fact, he was the only one who voted against it. Here's the title of the resolution, introduced by Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.):
Recognizing September 11 as a day of rememberance, extending sympathies to those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and their families, honoring the heroic actions of our nation's first responders and Armed Forces, and reaffirming the commitment to defending the people of the United States against any and all future challenges.
Yea, I can see how that's a pretty inflammatory resolution. Kucinich expounded on his reasons for spitting in the eyes of the families of those killed by al-Qaida on 9/11/01, of course:
It is important that Congress wake up to the truth and exercise its obligation under the Constitution to save our nation from being destroyed from the lies that took us into Iraq, the lies that keep us there, the lies that are being used to set the stage for war against Iran and the lies that have undermined our basic civil liberties here at home," Kucinich said in a statement. "The September 11 resolution that Congress considers today should have made reference to those matters. It does not, so I cannot support it," Kucinich said, also calling for a halt for further war funding and the troops to be brought home.
Whatever you say, President-to-Be Dennis. No need to create an international incident over it...
