Sad news indeed. There were two real candidates running in this race but now its down to one :(.

If Ron Paul is a constitutional republican then Dennis is a constitutional democrat. He was my second choice if Paul wasn't in the election. I've even seen a clip of Ron Paul singing praises about Kucinich. I always wondered why Kucinich's people didn't get organized like we did.

Because although socialist on the economics side he gets the civil liberties side.
Indeed I have heard Paul say that there are a number of times where both he a dennis are voting the same way.

If Dennis could only understand that liberty is tied to property, i.e. I own my body therefore I own the fruits of my labor....

Who knows I could see a place for him in a Paul administration. Something on the civil liberties side

We don't need his endorsement,. In fact, it'll probably come out looking bad, but we will probably pick up some of his less socialist-leaning supporters. The vehement opposition to the Iraq war and degradation of our civil liberties will pick up some, but many will be turned off by RP's message of economic freedom.

RP has repeatedly and publicly stated that he admires Mr Kucinich, and they stood in the very small minority in regards to very pertinent issues such as, oh, the Iraq War.

So put yourself and your collectivist labels back into your "Mann"hole. We'll put the lock on it for you.

Because in Iowa, if Kucinich didn't have 15% they were still in a democratic caucus and he would rather them go with Obama than Hillary or Edwards.

Because Iowa was just one state and democrats couldn't participate in the republican caucus? Dunno. In some states voters don't have to disclose party affiliation, so it would make more sense for him to support Paul now.

The 2 have completely opposite domestic policies, but that doesn't mean they can't agree with each other on many things, and have respect for one another.

I'm not sure exactly how much his supporters can help us though, at least vote-wise. Most party-change deadlines have passed. We could do better in OPEN states though. Could be a couple thousand extra votes in OPEN states, and it would definitely help us in the General if Paul went 3rd party.

I think Kucinich has the same view as Paul does about his opponents. He doesn't agree with their foreign policies, so he probably wouldn't endorse ANY of them.

If he endorses Paul, Paul might as well drop out of the Republican primary. He shares a few things in common with Paul but they are two totally different people. Friend or not an official endorsement would be a death nail.

Kucinich is honest, but he is also a socialist. How did you interpret asking why a socialist is brought up often on a libertarian board as calling someone a bad person? :confused:

From http://blog.cleveland.com/plaindealer/2008/01/kucinich_drops_presidential_bi.html :

Cleveland Congressman Dennis Kucinich is dropping out of the Democratic race for president.

Kucinich will make the announcement Friday at a news conference in Cleveland. In an exclusive interview with Plain Dealer editors and reporters, Kucinich said he will explain his "transition" tomorrow.

"I want to continue to serve in Congress," he said.

Kucinich said he will not endorse another Democrat in the primary.

Kucinich is seeking a seventh term in Congress, but his long-shot bid for the White House has drawn four Democratic opponents.

Jesse Helms is an honest man but he is a bigot. I never said he was a bad person, he is a socialist. From what I read on this board, people don't agree with W. Bush and he seems to be treated like he is just below satan in bad personess. Not to mention the fact this is a forum for a candidate trying to win the Republican nomination. You have people here trying to convict, impeach, imprison and other wise destroy the Republican president. Odd how Denny's (a Kucinich supporter) gets better press here than most any other Republican because he agrees with Paul on 2 or 3 issues.

I know there are.

In order to understand Kucinich and his supporters some of you need to look past blinding labels like 'socialist'.

Kucinich is coming from a very, very kind hearted place. For example, his health care plan is built around the concept that no one should be denied health care. And when you start with that premise (which many people do), obviously you'll come to a different conclusion than a strict free market capitalist.

But they do come from the same place - Dr. Ron Paul is also kind hearted and is also trying to fix the health care system, albeit in a very different way (whereas many other candidates are bought and paid for by the medical industrial complex).

This movement will gain Kucinich supporters. And that's a good thing.

I thought the same thing, but then again this is probably going to continue much longer than the Dem race did last time. Hell, Kerry all but locked it up after winning Iowa and NH. Kucinich could afford to hang around and pick up delegates considering the relatively low turnout of the states late in the calendar. This time around Hillary will be battling Obama for quite some time.

Any man who wants to completely ban hand-guns from the U.S is not someone who likes civil liberties. Kucinich would be the LAST man I'd want as President.

You can say good-bye to the nomination if Kooky Kucinich endorses Paul. He's the anti-conservative/libertarian.

I hope he doesn't, our negatives amongst conservatives will sore to their greatest heights ever.

How many conservatives do you really think even know who Kucinich is & what his positions are? If anything, he's known for being against the war, same as Paul. I don't think it hurts us at all.

Uhh, any man who wants to completely ban hand-guns from the U.S is not someone who likes civil liberties. Kucinich would be the LAST man I'd want as President.

he may not have ideals we agree with but at least he has integrity
i'd take him as a foreign policy advisor or something along those lines

i didn't like him because he wants to nationally ban smoking, like all of the other democrat's.

That being said, were sad to see him go. And we could be seeing an influx of Ex - kucinich supporters so be respectful.

Intolerant neo-cons showing their true colors on the site. Fucking idiots go back to your caves.

I'm a Libertarian, and Kucinich is the complete 180 from Libertarianism.

Watch who you're calling a neo-con. It can poke an eye out.

I respect his positions on foreign policy, and he is the most likable out of all the dems that ran....other than that why should I feel bad?

People here hate Huckabee with all their hearts, even though Paul has more in common with Huckabee.

Oops. I dissented from majority opinion.

Why does that socialist name come up on Paul's website daily?

Cause its also an anti-war and anti-government-spying name, and his dropping out will likely affect the Ron Paul campaign in a positive way.

he'd be good at uprooting corruption and enforcing a more transparent gov't.
That's about it.

Eternal hails to a man who stands up for the little guy, fights for the constitution, and wants to end our horrible wars!

Even if he is a democrat i have massive respect for the man who has helped our movement in many way.s

Thanks dennis!

Agreed
He was a possible choice for me early on in case RP didnt make it

Good luck Dennis with your future endeavors

Perhaps Kucinich had a momentary attack of sanity and realized what a hot wife he had at home in Ohio while he was sleeping alone in all those cold hotel beds in Flyover Country.

Let's be nice to his people, congratulate them on an honorable and ground-breaking run, and invite them to join us. Being humble and polite is the key to his.

Hear hear!

Can we get the mods to move the negative threads ASAP?

Now we can say that Paul is the *only* candidate who wants to bring our troops home immediately.

I think any conservative who would be affected by a Kucinich endorsement is already not voting for Paul.

We need to work on getting some of these Kucinich supporters to join us.

In CA, it's too late to switch parties to vote in the primaries for Paul.
In several other states it's not too late or there's an open primary.

Remember, we have a lot in common:

-Both honest men
-Both strongly anti-iraq war
-Both voted against the Patriot Act
-Both strongly against the War On Drugs

Kucinich has much more in common w/Paul than w/Hillary. Emphasize that to your Kucinich friends and win them over!

He better be endorsing Ron Paul. One of the only other honest men in Congress.

That's too bad, but I hope he doesn't endorse Paul. It could backfire among Republicans and would not help us much in return.

I disagree. If we can get the ex-Fred and Kucinich voters to unite on our side, we will become a much stronger force.

Oh, I wish he would back Ron Paul, but he will probably back a democrat.

Kucinich said he will not endorse another Democrat in the primary.

I didn't know they made platform shoes this tall! (or is he on a ladder?)

i like kucinich because he seems like an honest man. didn't agree with the socialist gungrabbing but I realized there is no way he would be able to take my guns.
