"... I'm the only up here on the stage that actually voted against the PATRIOT Act and voted against the war-the only one on this stage. I'm also...

(APPLAUSE)

"... I'm also one of the few candidates up here who's talking about taking our health-care system from this for-profit system to a not-for-profit, single-payer universal health care for all.

(APPLAUSE)

"I'm also the only one who has talked about getting out of NAFTA and the WTO and going back to bilateral trade...

(APPLAUSE)

"... conditioned on workers' rights, human rights, and the environment. Now..."

KOPPEL: Congressman?

KUCINICH: ... I may be inconvenient for some of those in the media, but, you know, I'm sorry about that.

I can hear you applauding again, brothers and sisters. Let's not be springtime patriots. Let's not just cheer for good lines and go home.
