Comment Kucnich and Paul...really?! (Score 1) 413
I just don't understand how there are so many people who support both Kucinich and Paul. They have nothing in common besides having no chance at being elected. Maybe they have one more thing in common, they are both in the wrong party. Kucinich claims to be a democrat, but he should really be in the socialist party, and Ron Paul claims to be a republican but is in every sense of the word a libertarian. So I guess they were both smart enough to use the legitimacy they gained from the main parties to get elected in the first place.
From there the similarities end.
Kucinich is a socialist, he want's single payer health insurance(ie. government), pump government money into securing private pensions, increased funding to the department of education, and to top it off end world poverty as an encore.
Paul is a libertarian, he wants to cut funding to anything he can get his hands on. He thinks the department of education should be dissolved. Nationalized healthcare...not on his watch, and who needs the FDA anyhow?
Personally I think they are both nuts, but for such different reasons that I don't understand how one person can support both. Unless you just like to support the underdog no matter who it is. I guess there is one more similarity, they both are vehemently opposed to the war in Iraq...could that be it?
