because he doesn't get enough press

i try not to be the stereotypical southerner most of the time and give people at least enough respect to listen to them give their opinion.. but dennis kucinich is the biggest pussy on the planet. who really wants to elect someone who was probably always picked last at dodgeball? life is a contact sport.

nice opinion, the U.S. Govt isn't a dodgeball game

The US Gov't doesn't use dodgeballs... they use carrier groups and marines. Much more important than dodgeball.... which he sucked at

well someone needs to give Hulk Hogan a call, with those kinds of standards he should be the right man for the job

Of course not... the point is that our foreign policy as ageneral matter is 'peace through strength' and Kucinich is opposed to that POV. That being true I think his foreign policy outlook is at best naive and at worst very dangerous. Yes, I know, you think the opposite is true.

touche.. but i'm for smart and strong. we usually just get somewhat one or the other.. and no i wouldn't vote for hulk as pres.

i mean, dennis kucinich has some good points but it's like he's fantasizing about a utopia all day, i mean u gotta have dreams but u can't just spout them off all grandiose like, cuz it's unrealistic. i mean take this interview with him on maher.. is what he's saying really wrong? nah.. but it's not realistic. just cause we make peace and back off doesn't mean other people will.. the world is a hard place.. i'm all for making it easier but not pretending the issues will just fade away if we make nice. and to his defense i'd probably support him before quite a few other people..

yes, thank you.

let me ask you this. do you honestly think that if Kucinich was President and he exhausted all his peaceful resolutions to foreign affairs issues that he wouldn't send the military?

You're a smart guy and I'm sure you can figure out why he takes the approach he does. He is trying to get some honest dialogue going in the country about these issues. He isn't saying he would disband the military and there would no longer be any military action EVER.

State and non State actors who would use aggressive violence to capture territory either physically or to capture it in ideological terms exist. These actors, as a general matter, choose targets that can be captured rather than those that cannot. Which means that weakness encourages aggression in a way that strength discourages it. Kucinish refuses to accept this self apparent truth.

I do not trust him with regard to foreign policy for the reasons above.

agreed.. in practical application it's kind of like an elementary playground.. there's always one kid who isn't necessarily a bad kid but will keep pushing the limits until you pop them in the mouth. some countries need to be hit or at the very least know that it will occur.

exactly, Kucinich permeates with the odor of wimp.... he exudes weakness and that invites aggression at the worst and it results in not being taken seriously at best

however, that's not to say i think we need to be swinging our dick around like we are currently doing.. there's a difference between being strong and constantly drawing lines in the sand over by someone elses door sayin.. "cross this and see what happens". i think we're putting too much pressure on iran.

Some countries need to be intimidated... or at least made to believe that if they step out of line that we will fuck them up. Iran is one of them.

Walk softly and carry a big stick. Kucinich seems like the Dems Ron Paul.

what's that... walk softly and hope no one hears you and wear good running shoes?
