Cool video.

I like Dennis. I don't agree with him on everything, but if Paul wasn't around, he'd be my candidate.

I like Dennis, but please:

KEEP HIM AS FAR AWAY FRON A RON PAUL TICKET AS POSSIBLE!

[navi]

What did he say? I'm at a place with no sound on the computers.

[Adamsa]

Kucinich as foreign secretary.

[rasheedwallace]

kucinich is dope, definitely my second choice.

[KewlRonduderules]

Oh that was pretty good. It was really funny especially at the end.

[tsetsefly]

I like Dennis, but please:

KEEP HIM AS FAR AWAY FRON A RON PAUL TICKET AS POSSIBLE!

I agree except for the I like Dennis part...

[Ron Paul Fan]

If Paul does win the Republican nomination, he won't pick Democrat Kucinch as his running mate. No chance in hell.

[Ron LOL]

What did he say? I'm at a place with no sound on the computers.

Get back to work :)

[Adamsa]

Having a democrat running mate would lose him the support of the GOP.

[theseus51]

You know how we don't wanna have Kucinich as VP? His supporters don't want Paul as VP for Kucinich either.

[goRPaul]

"I like Ron Paul." And he says nothing else.

I don't think we need to worry about a Paul/Kucinich ticket. It's not my ideal ticket, but it is my ideal general election matchup.

[angrydragon]

Dennis said "I like Ron Paul". That's all.

[Paulitician]

No more talk about Kucinich. Sheesh. He isn't going anywhere. And even if he is, what's this talk about him being Ron Paul's VP or Ron Paul debating him? Surely there are more important things to focus on.

[NinjaPirate]

Dennis said "I like Ron Paul". That's all.

Yeah it was pretty vague. :/

[0zzy]

I think it was sorta condescending.

"If you don't win, ya wanna be Ron Paul's VP?"

the hell

[Anti Federalist]

Drop the Kuncinich talk for pete's sake.

He's a global socialist fer cryin' out loud.

[hard@work]

I do not agree with Kucinich as veep. But I do agree that he would be very helpful in managing the social programs as we ween ourselves off of them.

[TechnoGuyRob]

What did he say? I'm at a place with no sound on the computers.

Seconded.

[Rex]

he said

"I like Ron Paul"

[FreeTraveler]

People who support a socialist as RP's VP don't have a clue what Ron Paul is really about. Let me clue them in: LIBERTY!

[winston_blade]

If Dennis doesn't accept, I think RP's second choice, Joe Stalin, is willing to be a part of the ticket. Seriously, there is no chance RP picks Dennis.

[Cardinal Red]

Don't get me wrong, he has integrity, but he is for more state power and less freedom. Definitely a terrible pick for a Paul VP. Someone like Sarah Palin or Mark Sanford would be much better

[RegularRon]

Yeah how about we just pick Stalin, or Lenin, or even Mao, Ohhhh I know how about every socialists college brat's hero, Che !!!

How about we knock of this crap with Kucinich. And if the Good Doc, for some moronic reason does pick him, you can bet your ass that I will bolt.

[Drknows]

I was hoping Gravel and Dennis would just drop out. I think we would pick up a small percentage of supporters. I think the majority would go to Obama. But hey.

[traviskicks]

kucinich is dope, definitely my second choice.

Kuccinch would be my last choice, as he is most opposite Ron Paul, if you look at his stances on issues, he is a big government socialist.

[traviskicks]

lol, i am with you, the risk is too great.

Agreed! But perhaps this is where the truthers and their own agendas come out...

Huh?:confused:

[quickmike]

Kucinich seems like a genuine guy and his heart is in the right place, kinda like Jimmy Carter and just like Carter, he is sooooooo wrong on economic issues. I wouldnt look at a Paul/Kucinich ticket as anything even close to being good. Id rather see Paul/Napolitano. Paul would lose TONS of support from independants and libertarians if Kucinich were on with him.

bad bad idea.

Lets not forget most Republicans would hate Ron for running with Kucinich.

[BuddyRey]

Most Republicans hate him already. If Ron Paul made all his decisions based on how the Republican base would feel about it, his candidacy wouldn't have a fraction of the honesty, spontaneity, and broad appeal it has now.

[quickmike]

Yep, thats what he did. He waved his hand in front of her face and held up a picture of George Clooney and said "this is the man you are married to" LOL

[OptionsTrader]

Democrats supporting Kucinich are probably just trying to find someone in their party that will stop the madness overseas and Kucinich is their guy. There is no need for us to get ugly when discussing Kucinich. Let Ron Paul do what he thinks is best, and treat the Kucinich people with some respect so that they can warm up to Paul in the long run. I have more respect for Kucinich supporters than I have for Republicans that are backing Giuliani. I am just saying temper the socialist condemnations and try to show them what we have in common so that his supporters they can warm up to Paul as the pro-peace candidate with a chance to win if and when Kucinich drops out.

Yes to all but number 2, 5 and 6.:D

[akovacs]

Kucinich never met anything he didn't want to regulate. He's a socialist. Granted, he's principled and a nice guy, but I'd have a lot of trouble voting for Paul if he were on the ticket.

[Paulitician]

I don't understand why this thread isn't dead yet. It's such a dumb idea. Anything having to do with Ron Paul and Kucinich is a dumb idea. Give it a rest. Must this be posted again?

Me too. But, luckily for us, Dr. Paul would never in a million years choose Kucinich as a running mate.

Kucinich and Paul are polar opposites. I just don't understand why people keep trying to pair them up.

[Ron Paul Fan]

I don't understand it either. Paul said he wouldn't even endorse the nominee of his own party if it wasn't him and people think he's going to choose Kucinich as his running mate? It's pure stupidity is what it is.

[akovacs]

Paulitician: So no RP supporter can ever discuss anything? Ever? Please. Yes, it's a retarded idea, but don't be a jerk. You cannot expect people to be 100% campaigning 100% of the time.

[Grandson of Liberty]

And to think I almost got through half my day without hearing the "K-word." :rolleyes:

Seriously, I could probably name 157,000,000 other people I'd rather have him pick for VP.

Sure you can. This is a Ron Paul forum afterall. This should be about the campaign and grassroots. Plus, there are other subforums for this. I'm just tired of seeing this forum cluttered with some of the dumbest, most useless ideas I've ever seen.

:D See what I mean...

[akovacs]

OK, fine, then request the thread get moved or something.

[Korey Kaczynski]

I like Kuchinich as a person, but I don't like his political beliefs.

[DadaOrwell]

i dont' like the Paul/Kucinich idea either but i figured it would get people talking...and after 2 hours you guys are up to five pages so i guess i was right about that.

If we are to win, we need to win over a lot of people, and a lot of those people are against this war spreading into Iran and a lot of people happen to be Democrats that have yet to embrace Ron Paul's policies on economics and domestic policy. But, first things first we need to end this war and if it takes playing nice with other groups that are against the war then so be it. If and when Kucinich does not get nominated, his people and others will be looking for a pro-peace candidate.

Watch this video and take notice of how Ron Paul answers the question. It is this kind of respect for what we have in common with Kucinich's followers that we need to emulate in my opinion.

It's already been discussed ad infinitum.

I just really wanted to say "ad infinitum." :p

But seriously, it's brought up all too often, and that's why you see some harsh responses. Wouldn't mind a bit if this thread gets moved to the "Do we really have to talk about this again" forum.

[kahless]

This just goes to show there are Liberal Lefty Communists that support Ron Paul since they have no clue what he actually stands for other than pulling our troops out of Iraq. If they knew what Ron Paul was all about they would not be considering a Kucinch ticket or Ron Paul at all.

Alienating Kucinich's supporters and calling them names is not going help Ron Paul's campaign. No doubt several have come to these forums. Stress what we have in common. Lend an olive branch. Try to win them over via civil debate.

[apc3161]

I like Kucinich as a person, but not as a politician. Except when it comes to foreign policy, I pretty much disagree with everything that he says.

[d_goddard]

I think some of you are missing a salient point:
At this stage in the game, for a presidential candidate to have any of the other candidates say something positive about them, is an unmitigated Good Thing.

I Dugg the article (http://digg.com/politics/Kucinich_on_Ron_Paul_Dennis_Kucinich_ticket_idea)!

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Ron Paul HAS to choose a libertarian, so that we can run someone in 2016 ;)

[ItsTime]

I agree with this. We need a movement that lasts.
