Who would you vote for between Rand Paul and Dennis Kucinich?

[cajuncocoa]

I might just assume the OP is from Washington or Colorado. Put the bong down.

No, the OP is just playing a "gotcha" game designed for those of us who are not firmly in Rand's corner. Not taking the bait; I'm not a socialist.

 

[EBounding]

That last point doesn't matter since Rand endorsed Rmoney.

That's the point I wanted to make though. Rand gets raked over the coals for endorsing Romney, but Kucinich gets heaps of praise despite endorsing Obama and pretty much towing the Democrat party line. Am I missing something here?

That at least makes you better than the Daily Paul crowd.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Thats right, because we all know candidates pick their VPs during the primary

Touche. Good point. But, I still think it sounds like a horrible idea.

Not content to drive wedges over here...the Rand crowd wants to drive one between DP and RPF I see. Good job!

Supporting Rand does not drive wedges. But, I agree about the negative comments about Daily Paul. That's not getting us anywhere.

I was, of course, referring to the second part of your post. Of course supporting Rand does not drive wedges by itself.

 

[cajuncocoa]

To the person who left a comment on a rep, by not taking the bait I meant I'm not going to vote in a poll that offers a false choice.

 

[KingNothing]

If I had to pick a guy to be the loyal opposition, it would be Dennis Kucinich. You'd have to be mad to take him as your guy over Rand, though.

 

[HigherVision]

Obviously Rand. Dennis Kucinich is a communist, I don't know what the hell is wrong with people.

That place cannot be saved and needed to be outed for truth's sake.

The people that drive wedges over here are the flamers. I have not encountered anyone here yet who seems to engage in that type of behavior more than you do.

In other words, this poll is Lincoln vs. Jefferson.

Cajun, I have never seen someone who supports Rand have a problem with anyone supporting Ron. Especially here. Are there any Rand-supporters, here, who don't also support Ron? Because I haven't seen them.

On the other hand, you and a couple of others do your damnedest to drive a wedge between those who support both and those who only support Ron. It's called trolling.

I think tolerance has to be shown for people supporting people a poster doesn't particularly like, and for NOT supporting someone a poster DOES like. People should be able to respectfully discuss their thoughts in both directions without being attacked. In a particular candidate's forum, however, they should be given more deference.

 

[Confederate]

I wish I had thought of such a good troll thread to post!

Even you've got to admit, though, that bashing Rand is just silly.

Constructive discussion is very different than trolling.

 

[sailingaway]

absolutely.

but that is true on both sides.

Except they're the Daily Kucinich now.

I see Kucinich more as a Thomas Paine

"It is a position not to be controverted that the earth, in its natural, cultivated state was, and ever would have continued to be, the common property of the human race. In that state every man would have been born to property. He would have been a joint life proprietor with rest in the property of the soil, and in all its natural productions, vegetable and animal."

Paine

and Rand as James Madison

`the powers of the federal government are few and
defined''

Madison

Obama as Hamilton

Experience teaches, that men are often so much governed by what they are accustomed to see and practise, that the simplest and most obvious improvements, in the most ordinary occupations, are adopted with hesitation, reluctance and by slow gradations. The spontaneous transition to new pursuits, in a community long habituated to different ones, may be expected to be attended with proportionally greater difficulty. When former occupations ceased to yield a profit adequate to the subsistence of their followers, or when there was an absolute deficiency of employment in them, owing to the superabundance of hands, changes would ensue; but those changes would be likely to be more tardy than might consist with the interest either of individuals or of the Society. In many cases they would not happen, while a bare support could be insured by an adherence to ancient courses; though a resort to a more profitable employment might be practicable. To produce the desirable changes as early as may be expedient, may therefore require the incitement and patronage of the government.

Hamilton
