Interesting that you'd make that connection. Just this morning I told my wife that Ron Paul was the Republican's Kucinich!
That's my observation, too! I've said that for some time about the fringe support that L Ron Paul has...
I don’t think that Ron Paul was the Republican’s Kucinich.
In fact I think its opposite. Kooky is the Democrats far left voice. So in order for Paul fill Kooky’s spot for the Republicans, Paul would have to be the far right voice....which he is not.
HOWEVER.....if you are saying that they are both the raving lunatics of the parties, tolerated by the grownups just to be fair, then yes, I agree.
Perhaps more truth than you knew at the time. Check out this post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1938491/posts?page=24#24.
