Paul calls Kucinich veep speculation "premature" Posted by Sabrina Eaton November 29, 2007 05:59AM

Categories: Kucinich

After last night's GOP presidential debate, a Dennis Kucinich fan named Davis Fleetwood queried Texas Rep. Ron Paul about Kucinich's recent suggestion in New Hampshire that they run as a joint ticket. Paul called such talk "premature" and added "We're just getting going." Here's the video Fleetwood posted on YouTube.

Relative to the Kucinich rumors he clearly says it's premature, that he's doing well, then ...we'll think about that in 3 or 4 months and find our where we are.

What an entertaining addition to the campaign a Kucinich/Paul or Paul/Kucinich ticket would be.

Ah, so you’re saying the (A-)hole would be greater than the sum of the farts.

A Jerry Springer nation.

I wonder what the Paulestinian spin on this will be.

I would think that a Paul/Kucinich third party run would closely map Nader's 2000 run in size and effectiveness, siphoning off hard left votes from the Democrats.

Enough to put the GOP nominee over the top?

It would be a great TV sitcom I think. The weekly episodes could be very entertaining.

What a comedy team that would be.

Of course, since there's not an ice-cube's chance in Hell of either of them getting their respective nominations, there's no need for either of those two loons to have a running mate.

Maybe they could team up just for the entertainment value?

I'm sure it won't be long before we find out. ;-)

If Ron Paul doesn’t immediately rule Kook Kucinich out as a possible veep choice, then any shred of doubt that RP is anything but a Kook in his own right is gone. Looks like the political spectrum is really a circle and the kooks at either end have met where the ends join. I’m betting they’d welcome Lyndon Larouche as their treasury secretary, Clark Clifford (or is if Clifford Clark?) as SecDef, Chomsky for SecState ... you get the picture.

How fun!

I’m sure FReepers could come up with a great name for the ticket.

ROFL.

I had mentioned this several weeks ago, where RP is the Republican equivalent of Kookcinich.

Paul/Kookcinich.....a match made in the heavens!

Here's my stab at it:

"That big, tall, strong, handsome Texan did not say what decision he had made in the first place. For all we know this highly-decorated Vietnam combat flight surgeon was just saying this to be polite to Kucinich. Perhaps the One Man Who Can Save Our Republic has managed to secretly convert Kucinich into a bona fide, gold-investing, Lysander Spooner-quoting libertarian true believer. You warmongering neo-consteins have no idea. Besides, it's clear that Kucinich is deeply conservative in some ways, because just like Our Hero The New Reagan, he takes a bold stand against the babykilling, childraping stormtroopers that you Bushbots like to call 'soldiers' and 'marines.' Ever think of that, fascist?"

We can call them the “Space Cadet Twins.”

Even the Dems aren;t dumb enough to take Kucinich seriously. Apparently Ron Paul is.

That seems to be Paul's standard response to questions about his plans for his campaign/administration.

Apparently, he's a very thoughtful person.
