Can Kucinich save the presidency?
Edited on Tue Jul-10-07 08:57 PM by penguin7
It is obvious to me anyway that Kucinich is the best candidate. The guy is telling the truth, and I don't think any of the other candidates know what the truth is.

But does it really matter? Should we have a president?

Realistically, Kucinich doesn't have that great of a chance. And even if he wins, the opposition will be all over him. How much will he get accomplished?

But even more, after him we will have another president that long ago threw away his integrity to get elected. How can we have a presidency that is not all or nothing? Because when it is all or nothing someone has to twist and contort himself into everyone's idea of the perfect president. An idea impossible to achieve, and worse we must all suffer the perversity in policy that such a president creates.

Should we really have a president? Are not the stakes too high for any one man?

3. He was excellent in the Q/A on MSNBC earlier today.
Did you see it? They took questions from viewers, and he answered a couple on Iraq -- I forgot what else, but his answers were very, very good.

4. No was working so I missed it!
I've watched a lot of his youtube videos though and he's the best candidate for president there is out there that's running IMHO!
I like Edwards also. I'd like a Kucinich/Edwards '08 ticket!
