Reply #30: OK, aside from the "department of peace" thing...

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

...and his former abortion stance, I really haven't seen people criticizing his policies or positions. What I have seen (and have participated in to an extent) is people criticizing him and his supporters for:

1) Blaming the media / leadership / some other entity for his lack of support whilst ignoring the fact that most people have very legitimate concerns with his potential as a President.

2) Complaining that he's not being treated as a serious candidate when he has no on-the-ground organization to speak of in the early primary states.

3) Flagrant grandstanding (the ABC online poll thing, his impeachment resolution, etc.)

I personally have no idea what the heck he's trying to do. I don't think it's purely a vanity campaign, but at the same time I don't think he's doing a very good job of using his candidacy to shift the debate in his direction. Gravel and Dodd are doing a better job of that than Kucinich.
