Web polls mean nothing. Paul barely registers on proper polls. He's a libertarian scumbag that would turn the US into a sweatshop. He's the most capitalist bastard of anybody on either side of the Republicrat divide.

Kucinich is much better. He's Paul without the mindless capitulation to big business.

Looks like Luke, major.tom & I are in a stand-off with the Kucinich crowd.

yeah i was interested in what the differences are, what is it that makes the difference between gravel or kucinich ... not that i think gravel stands any chance at all unfortunately, at least ron paul has a grassroots movement supporting him ... they raised a million on the web site in a few days :)

is kucinich talking about taking on the federal reserve and irs?

A texter just mentioned on air that Kucinich always voted against funding the war, whilst Obama always voted for funding it.

George just said on air that Senator Mike Gravel (D) will be interviewed on his show.

That's a good sign .. he is the one that the web site said was closest to my views (& luke & major.tom)

Political pragmatism is a controversial issue. Despite Mike Gravel being the one apparently closest to my views, I would, if allowed, vote Ron Paul on purely pragmatic grounds ("tactical voting") since he would be the one most likely to shake the existing establishment.

i've caught a few interviews and things with him recently, i like him - he talks a lot of sense. its great to hear an american politican talking honestly - theres not many others who would bring up the million iraqi deaths and that america ( and britain ) should be paying reparations to iraq.

have you seen recently though the media dissing him because he saw a ufo?

i've not followed him as closely as ron paul, but he seems to be having similar trouble getting decent coverage ( unsurprisingly, unfortunately ) - but like paul seem to be gaining support;

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich goes into tonight’s Democratic Presidential debate riding a wave of positive polling results that put him in fourth place nationally, second in a major California straw poll, and leading among declared Democrats in an online survey sponsored by Democracy for America.

his wife is quite nice too :)

She looks a fiery temptress for sure, but there's more than a hint of photoshop in that pic - the blurred line of her shoulder and the the position of her hands seem wrong.

Still, I was quite impressed with the video - though admittedly he struck me more as a valuable adviser than a leader.
