On the lighter side - Comedy Central Debate
http://www.indecision2008.com/blog.jhtml?c=v&m=72498
Recently, our enormous staff of interns pointed out that the most frequent commentors on this blog are supporters of Ron Paul, the libertarian who favors limited government, and Dennis Kucinich, the starry-eyed liberal optimist. To wit:
Dr. Paul is a great person and I would be proud to have him as my president. He has a genuine soul and it and most who cannot deal with his honesty cannot handle it. At the risk of sounding too sappy, I would say that he makes allot of people proud that there is some true humanity in existence. And yes, I know he isn't Jesus and we all have our flaws. But the man has the stones to stick up for his convictions. Peace! (Forskin_Gump)
The traditional Democratic base isn't stupid. They haven't been driven away from the polls because they are lazy or apathetic. They are painfully aware of the huge disconnect between Democratic Party rhetoric and the official behavior of many Democrats. They don't appreciate being lied to, and maybe they have grudging reasons to go to the polls just to vote against some Republican. Maybe they don't. The traditional Democratic base doesn't always turn up at the polls. They need more than transparent rhetoric. They require a real candidate who actually represents their interests. And they love Kucinich. (raiderpower)
So we decided to give you champions of Paul and Kucinich a forum for a real (virtual) debate, right here in our comments, on behalf of your candidates.
Here are two topics. Pick one and debate away in the comments below:
Topic 1: Ron Paul understands the Constitution better than Dennis Kucinich.
Topic 2: Dennis Kucinich understands the Constitution better than Ron Paul.
Ready? Go!
