I am liking Dennis Kucinich and Mark Gravel a lot, who else likes them as well?

Question

I like Biden. But, he's skipping the HRC Debate in Cali. I don't know why? It botheres me slightly. He's losing points with me. I like him, he has good credentials. But, I like it to keep it open. I'm not one a person candidate. :P

I like people who are "consistant".

Answer 1

That means you are || close to liking Ron Paul. I like Gravel as well, but don't get the right feeling with Kucinich. What happened to Biden? I watched more of the debates, and he didn't do that bad.

Answer 2

Look, I don't mean this to be negative, and I'm sorry if it comes off like it is. But I'm going to give you some honest advice... Invest in someone who has a shot at winning the nomination. I have friends who under normal circumstances would vote Kucinich, but realize that he's just not going to win the nom. He may speak very well and represent a lot of liberal values, but he seems unelectable for the primary. I suggest you invest in a top 3 candidate. Look into them, then your vote will matter.

And this is kind of a side note. If you watched the AFL-CIO debate in Chicago, you may have noticed how the third teir candidates (Biden & Dodd) teamed up with Hillary and attacked Obama. Well, if their running for president, why would they attack the second place person? I don't think that Biden or Dodd are genuinely running for president. Their both seeking positions in a Clinton administration. Richardson, Edwards and Obama are genuinely interested in defeating Hillary... well, Richardson may want a job on the cabinet and that is why he won't directly attack Hillary at this point. Obama still remains the most viable threat to the establishment candidate, and he's trying, through his new ideas, to establish himself as the alternative candidate. Lastly, you have Gravel and Kucinich, both candidates who you adore. They're not seeking the presidency... to them, it's a campaign about ideas. Kucinich genuinely believes in the liberal ideas that he presents, as does Gravel

Answer 3

According to Discover the Networks:

Kucinich is a member of the Progressive Caucus which has direct ties to the Democratic Socialists of America which is comprised of "former Socialists and Communists, former old leftists and new leftists, and many who had never been leftists at all."

Kucinich advocates the creation of a new federal government agency called the Department of Peace (DOP), whose purpose, he explains, "will be to support disarmament, treaties, peaceful coexistence, and peaceful consensus building."

Kucinich supports dramatic increases in government spending on the arts, education, transportation, welfare, and environmental protection. Conversely, he advocates drastic reductions in spending for national defense, particularly the research and development of new weapons. He calls for further, though less draconian, cuts in funding for the modernization of existing weapons and military hardware. He favors the total elimination of research and testing for the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) missile defense system.

Kucinich opposes the establishment of English as the official national language.

In March 2002 Kucinich authored a "Prayer for America" that provided a glimpse into the bitter, vindictive side of his nature. This "prayer" - which was highly praised by America-haters like Edward Said - amounted to little more than an expression of Kucinich's hope that America might somehow reform itself and cease to be the Great Satan.

I am sorry but are you nuts?

Answer 4

I love Dennis K., I'm actually a Ron Paul supporter... But I love where he stands on the issues as well... I feel like he is def one of the best democratic canidates.. It's too bad the media hypes up the canidates that won't do anything for this country.. if only people would get informed.. If any of these three one I'd along with many Americans would be satisfied.. but unfortunately its not possible in the United States to actually have an honest president

Answer 5

a kusinich/edwards ticket would give us great hope and a possibility of returning our country to an honorable sane position.

the news is lying when they say obma or clinton have a chance - that is like saying bush will win re-elction - there is no difference - they gloat trying to promote losers.

if they win it will be yet another stolen election because there is NO diffeance between clinton, ombma and bush.

Answer 6

I really like Kucinich but I can do without all of the yelling from Gravel. Kucinich gets his point across with dignity, Gravel I find a little offensive.

Answer 7

I liek Gravel Kucinech on the dem side. But I am going for Ron Paul I am more a republican, but he stated he is good friends with Kucinech. Anyway we need to get out of Nafta Cafta etc..

Also Biden is a big CFR member. He wants a North American Union they all have the same goals as Bush, Clinton, Obama, Giuliani, Romney, Mccain, Richardson, Edwards....

Youtube CFR and presidential candidates

One goal for those mainstream bastards.....One World Government.

I hope your party elects one of the two you named.
Reps are going to elect Ron Paul.
THanks!

Answer 8

I like Kucinich's ummm gonads. Gravel's too. Neither stands much of a prayer either in the primary and definitely not in the generals, but HOPEFULLY they can influence the debate/discourse. They have good ideas, and they're unafraid.

Answer 9

I like both of them, very honest and vocal. But my political beliefs don't align with them so I won't vote for them.

Answer 10

Mark Gravel is the only one running who makes any sense to me. Too bad a sno-cone in a microwave has a better chance.
