36. ISSUES
It is the issues.

Simple as that. What puzzles supporters of Kucinich is why, when most Americans and Democrats want universal single payer healthcare, that you guys would support candidates that want to add to the Insurance bureaucracy nightmare we already live with.

Or why when most Americans and Democrats want out of Iraq yesterday, we have front runners talking about a continued presence there, despite the fact that rationally we know it only enflames anger in the region agaisnt American and makes us considerably less safe.

Or perhaps why, when most Americans and Democrats are questioning free trade and the real world costs of these kinds of dealings, most of the front running Democrats give half answers or vauge platitudes about the immense benefits fo trade as though they were sock puppets of either Milton or Thomas Friedman.

I could go on for awhile.
