Reply #122: I am going to call you on your statements and explain why Kucinich plays an essential role..........

You aren't playing a "moderate" "just trying to reason" role in this topic. You seem to be looking to discredit him.

One can disagree with his approach and argue his "electability". But I think anyone who does not respect his adherence to principle and his intent and refreshingly honest approach has blinders on.

Unfortunately many these days do not understand the impact and power of emphasizing Peace, dialog, and adhering to principles of Justice and Compassion. To them Kucinich seems "wishy washy and weak".

He may not, in the end, prove to be the winning candidate. He may not even be the best person to have as president (I am still making up my mind), but WE NEED HIM IN THIS RACE and in office. If only to raise the dialog and question what are very obviously failed ideas about power and strength.

Kucinich may be more like the inventor who has great imagination and can design life saving products. Hopefully our leadership will take to heart what he expresses. Maybe it is better someone else eventually "market" and sell the "inventors" machinations. But make no mistake... In this race, Kucinich is the one with the real talent to understand the challenges we are against in the near future.
