41. Ok what the heck-
1. Have you ever or would you ever consider voting Green or other third-party?

Yes and Yes. I voted Libertarian in a few local elections because of issue positions.

2. What are your views on Bill Clinton?

Bad question- I hated the little sleaze-ball! I'd still have him back over Bush any day of the week.*sigh* 3 Strikes, NAFTA, Welfare reform, DADT after vowing to fight for gays in the military, this list is huge of reasons I despised him.

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

Yes because if ideology is the focus it will eventually be the determining factor in electability which is how things should logically work.

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?

Peachy keen because he won't compromise without fighting for the things that are most important.

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

Gun control. I've had a few people explain to me the constitutional implications of gun control laws and my views on the subject have been inexorably altered because of the very valid arguments they've handed me.

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

Nope, and if there were I doubt I'd discuss them on this board. It's an honor thing, and dissing my own candidate wouldn't be particularly loyal or honorable in my own opinion.

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

There are two. Public service record and platform. The two combined speak to his determination to be the catalyst for real and profound change in this country which is what I believe is necessary in the wake of the Bush administration.

8. Who is your next choice candidate after DK?

Of those still in the running, I'd have to say I'm torn between Al Sharpton and Howard Dean. Neither are anywhere near the caliber of Kucinich, however either would inspire more of a sense of trust in me than Kerry or Edwards these days.

Other than them, if this was the GE, Ralph Nader.
