Ron Paul supporter.
Kucinich is and always will be a hero of mine for any number of reasons. He's honest. He's hard working. He's for the people. He's for peace.
The simple fact that he was vegan told me almost everything I needed to know - he had respect and love for all life. That's important to me.
Now, on these boards you're going to find a lot of people you don't agree with. The word 'socialist' gets thrown around like a knife here. Remember, though, that this is the beauty of freedom, and the beauty of the unifying power of Ron Paul's message.
Odds are, you won't agree with everything Ron Paul says. But before you dismiss him, research his views on a topic. I highly recommend some of his interviews from the 80's. It will open your eyes, I promise you. For example, he's been denouncing the racism embedded within the War On Drugs for decades.
Ron Paul, like Dennis Kucinich, is an honest man. He's pro-peace, pro-freedom.
And he is the only candidate left that will end this war, that will restore our freedoms and civil liberties, that will end our empire, that will free those unjustly imprisoned (non-violent drug offenders), that will stand up for your right to believe whatever you want to believe - even if he doesn't agree with it.
When researching his voting record, please remember that he is a strict constitutionalist. His yea or nea vote does not necessarily reflect his own opinion on a matter, or what would be popular, but instead what is legal in the constitution - a document thats central purpose was (and is) to protect us from tyranny (and look around...).
This is why you will hit speed bumps during your research - why DID he vote against a medal for Rosa Parks?! But then you'll learn that he considers her a hero of civil disobedience and offered to pay $100 towards the cost of the medal out of his own pocket... but the rest of the pols voted to spend our money instead.
It is this commitment to principle that is so absolutely rare in politics today that make him worthy of being president - and we do need him desperately.
So please, research him. Watch his interviews and speeches. Read his positions. And if you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.
Peace.
