radicals on both kucinich and pauls side like to say that the notion of a RP/DK ticket is impossible but even tho they differ on some core issues, i think if they got together they could work out compromises that could turn out to work even better.

and im not just some hippy idiot, i have thoroughly researched both’s sides and i am aware of some of the fundamental differences in their perception and vision of government, but i also believe that both of them are brilliant individuals and combined they could be capable of bringing about some great changes.

paul/kucinich 08… or kucinich/paul 08 either way they would have my support

Seriously, who the hell wants to spend his evening answering a 101 rant questions with any amount of seriousness? johnnyb could consolidate all of his questions under one umbrella and ask me, “Why is the sky falling?” Then I could come back, and demand of him, “Be more specific, dammit!” Or more enigmatically, ask a question to his question: “Why is the glass half empty when it is also half full?”

If he expects me to wade through that, point by point, he better leave a substantial amount in the paypal tip jar.

Wordsmith, it’s going be awhile before johnnyb can answer your question, as he sprayed so much spittle on his keyboard that it shorted out. He’s out shopping for a new one.

Is there a question in there somewhere?

What is an “arpee”? Ron Paul supporter?

How am I undermining the defense of the Constitution? Because I support a candidate thats against our unconstitutional foriegn policy?

Do you people understand that we are going bankrupt? That Social Security, medicare and Medicaid are going to bankrupt this country in my lifetime?

Do you understand how far this government has deviated from the orginal intent of the constitution?

Have you ever questioned what we are doing in Iraq and what benefit we are gaining by being there? Why do we have our military spread out all over the globe? Why do we have to spend as much on our military as the nearly the entire world combined? Don’t you think this is kinda of a waste of resources?

What is our goal in Iraq? We made sure that they do not have any WMDs, we got rid of Saddam and enforced all the UN resolution, we helped them set up a new government…What else is there left to do? Convert them to Christianity?

HAve you seen how the dollar is trading lately? Have you seen how our stock market can performed against gold or currencies like the pound, Euro or even the Canadian dollar? Are you not concerned by this?

Given that the US Dollar has long been the reserve currency of the World, why should foriegn banks continue to carry our debt and hold our money in reserve when its a losing investment? Given the importance of the US economy globally, have you considered the ramifactions of a US dollar collapse?

Why is it that I should be loyal to a government that disregards its constitutional limitations while it spends my future into wreckage? Patriotism? I think that patriotism has always been opposed to tyranical government, even if it is a democracy, that creates policies that are in contridiction to the fundamental role of government which is to protect my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Through this war on terror and the underlying welfare state and general mismanagement my life is in greater jeapordy not only from some Islamic psychopath that is pissed about American Foriegn policy, but also from the ever increasing police state which also seems to be perpetually at war with individual liberty, and financially bankrupts the treasury which adversely affects my pursuit of happiness.

I owe the government no loyalty because it has failed to protect my basic rights, and has become a greater tyrannt than the tyrannt that it claims to have disposed.

9/11 pissed me off as much as any of you, but the terrorists can never be as big of a threat to our lives, liberties and prosperity than our own government. Ron Paul alone has the intent of restoring the Republic to its proper role and undoing the mistakes of the past century which have lead us down the path to our current state of affiars, which is our only of avoiding the perdition that most certainly waits in the future if we maintain our current path.

Wake up! Before its too late!

Hah! Listen to Elizabeth Kucinich indulging a 9/11 conspiracy nut.

I swear….reading YouTube comments is bad for your brain cells.

Nevetheless…this comment fits in nicely with this post:

seapoidog:

Dennis Kucinich is my second choice for President after Ron Paul. I am a Green Party member, but I am switching to Republican to vote for Ron Paul. I do however think Kucinich is a good honest man, though I disagree with him on some issues.

OctoBox:

SeaPoidog: You are right, Democrats should register Republican to put Ron Paul up as the Republican leader — He has the most sound voting record and is the only one for true liberty. Don’t let the R-vote scare you. OctoKev

There is some overlap with Kucinich and RP. But not so much on Abortion and Health care (as was mentioned) and they are very different on Immigration, and the 2nd amendment as well.

I suppose you would find more overlap with Giuliani and Hillary, though. Both big with NAFTA, CAFTA, and supporting the UN. Both believe in the war on Muslims, Both want gun control, Both are pro-choice, you can’t trust either one. Hillary can fake a southern accent better, while Rudy looks better in a gown. They do disagree on Health care, where Hillary wants you to have what you already got, and pay for them that don’t have any. Rudy will leave you with what you got, and wave his hands about health savings accounts. Not much difference there.

You arpees are worthless to freedom you do us no good and are nothing but dead weight and you believe in nothing.

I thought your problem with us wasn’t our lack of belief, but our belief in things that just weren’t so (paraphrasing Twain). As for the doing good and/or contributing to freedom, you can find RP supporters in the currently serving armed forces, assuming that would qualify in your eyes. Of course anyone who pays taxes is something of a contributor, but since that isn’t voluntary I could understand not counting it.

Relinquish your citizenship, you are not Americans

How do you think your ‘Gideon’s Band’ strategy would turn out on Election Day?

You would have liked the post-debate (last night’s, that is) interview with Ron Paul (unfortunately, I can’t find the video online). Someone asked him which of the Democrats he liked, if he had to choose one. He said Kucinich, citing that
- he and Kucinich were friendly on the Hill (which I can imagine, both being outsiders)
- Kucinich was also against the war
- Kucinich also supported civil liberties
- he also seemed to support national sovereignty (not sure what Paul meant here, perhaps he was thinking of DK opposition to NAFTA or something)

Anyway, to someone for whom war and foreign relations are front and center issues I can imagine that Kucinich and Paul are peas in a pod. Talk to someone who is really invested in health care issues or prolife/prochoice and you’d get a different perspective…
