33. Easy questions
1. Have you ever or would you ever consider voting Green or other third-party?

No. Can't because the backwards state I live in makes it near impossible to establish a third party to vote for. Would I consider it? I always consider all options.

2. What are your views on Bill Clinton?

Sleazy jackass who is just as responsible for where we find ourselves these days. Can you say backlash? He is a weak man who couldn't keep his shit together until he left office. Not too happy with his political legacy either.

3. Do you think ideology is always more important than electability?

As others have said, they go hand in hand. Why elect someone who has only rhetoric and no real idealogy?

4. How would you feel if DK became President but had to work with a Republican-dominated Congress, and ended up having to make a lot of compromises in order to get things done?

What? No one here is planning to kick ass in the congressional elections, too?

5. Are there any issues or areas where you disagree with Kucinich?

Disagree on the flag burning amendment only but can understand why he feels the way he does. See my Common Dreams article for explanation:

http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0604-05.htm

6. Are there any other misgivings you have about DK?

Not a one.

7. What is the main reason you have for voting for DK?

The public servant (won't call him politician) with the most integrity since Jimmy Carter. Difference is he also has the know how to do the job. He is it in for us and not for himself. He is intelligent and articulate and REAL!!! I trust him like I've never trusted any of these guys or likely will ever again. He has proven his vision is true and he has a track record of being right.

8. Who is your next choice candidate after DK?

Don't have one. Having to vote for the eventual nominee, unless it is DK, is not a choice.



P.S.

He knows that NAFTA is not negotiable. Only option is withdrawal. Anyone who says they are going to look at fixing or re-negotiating, is yanking your chain. Hey! we had trade agreements before NAFTA and the WTO, we can have them again.

He did not vote for increased penalties for juvenile offenders. He voted against the bill:
