it was a powerful speech. and, i cried when I realized they gave him such an unpopular time slot.
my favorite candidates from the 2 main parties were: dennis k. mike gravel, and ron paul, who i still support.

  I'm a fan of Kucinich as well. But the only thing Kucinich and Paul have in common is that they both stand against "business as usual" in DC.
  
  Paul is a true libertarian who wants the government to take a smaller role in every respect. Kucinich believes the government has an important function in balancing wealth inequity and protecting consumers from big business interests.
  
  How can you agree with them both?

    Actually, libertarianism is a philosophy that encompasses many economic positions for a governing body. There is even a libertarian communism and anarchy is also a form of left-wing libertarianism. Libertarian socialism is also an existing ideology. In fact, the term libertarian has more roots in left wing ideology then right wing. Our libertarian party is the exception, not the rule, as I understand it.

    hi Beau-
    I never said I agreed with "both." But Dennis and Ron stand strong against all odds..

    From Beau "But the only thing Kucinich and Paul have in common is that they both stand against "business as usual" in DC."
    
    That's what you call balance Beau. They balance each other out. Compromise.
    
    I remember years ago when I thought Perot and Brown would have made a good match.

    early in the primaries, ron paul was asked who he would consider as his VP. his immediate answer was his good friend, dennis kucinich.
    
    soon afterwards, dennis was asked about paul's comment. he noted that in his time in congress, many roll-call votes were 400-2. the two would be himself and ron paul. then he said he would be happy to serve with ron paul.

    thanks, in advance, for anyone who assists in Dr. Paul's goals.

      Did you misunderstand me? I agreed that I had originally wanted Kucinich to get the nomination -- not Ron Paul.
      
      I don't care for the fact that Ron Paul has been willing to accept money from some hate groups; and I prefer Obama. But thanks for asking...
