People are entitled to their opinions. I responded to this article on Digg. The first person who replied said that he supports both Kucinich and Paul. Many others have advocated a Paul/Kucinich or Gravel ticket. They need to understand the great differences that led these people to the come to the same conclusion about world organizations and the war. That is where the similarities end aside from the problems with the MSM.

The entire notion of not for profit healthcare is ludicrous. One may as well talk about not for profit car care. It's like this stupid fantasy. Do people honestly believe that doctors should study for years and then donate their time? Don't they deserve to profit on their hard work? Would anyone put themselves through medical school in order to be a serf? It's crazy.

While I agree with your sentiment I think the type of response you made here would do nothing but harden the Kucinich supporter's resolve. I think a Kucinich supporter is a Ron Paul supporter plus unrealistic expectations and minus the constitution. If your goal is to win them over you should avoid ad hominem attacks and stick to the issues. A Kucinich supporter should be an easy convert once they understand how much more compassionate a true free market is compared to a well meaning inefficient socialist system. It's a layup, don't over do it.

"Ron Paul wants to eliminate all federal taxation. Dennis Kucinich wants to shift the tax burden to wealthy persons and corporations." - WTF

Kucinich is a freaking idiot. He is the last mayor of an American city to have to file bankruptcy for his city and if that isnt enough he believes in some freaky cult that says that the stars give us power. I am not a big fan.

I like Kucinich but he just doesn't get it that state means war. Corporatism means war. We can only fight this with liberty.(or true socialism..but that's ineffective and dangerous) I think he's a good guy, he'd probably endorse Ron Paul if he would read some history books. ;)

I agree I might be out of line but I think its about the insurance industry not the medical industry when the "not for profit" but I could be wrong.

Yeah, that is pretty dumb. Paul would not eliminate all Federal taxation. He would want to eliminate the personal income tax, but corporate income/excise taxes he would keep (or increase).
