Reply #153: Saracat, nice try. Not too many people on DU want to discuss...

[superkia]

why they like their candidate. I posted telling everyone why I liked Kucinich and asked for everyone to tell me why they liked their candidate so we could all better educate ourselves and it sunk quickly. Every time I post something like that, its hit with an attack or something other than substance?

Again, these are some of the things I like about Dennis Kucinich.

In 2002 he stood alone and said the war was about Oil, Regional Power, and Israel and voted no to the war and never voted to fund it. I don't think any other candidate can say that.

He has spoken out about the attack on the constitution by the government.
He wants the patriot act repealed.
He wants to take the profit out of health care so everyone has health care and no one gets denied or partial payments.
He is against war unless we are attacked.
He wants investigations into the Hunt Oil deal that took place in Iraq.
He is against corporate influence in government.
He is against NAFTA and sending American jobs out of the country.
He wants to make any corporation with an American name pay taxes here.
He wants to cut the runaway Pentagon budget to save the economy.
He answers questions directly so I know exactly where he stands on the issues.
He is for Impeachment and isn't afraid to speak out about it.
I know there is more but theres a start for you, maybe you could respond with why you support your candidate and then maybe someone else will follow the lead and we can all educate ourselves on all the candidates and pick the best person for our future. Lets see who is here for political discussion and who just wants to fight.

I will add more as I think of them.
