I am with you on that one! The little guy kind of surprised me.
I know that I am going to take garbage for this one, but I am going to say it anyway -- If I were Kucinich and had been so poor that I actually grew up living with my parents in a car (at one point) I'd probably be a Liberal Democrat, too. But I didn't. The fact that Kucinich has some compassion for those who are still at the level of where he came from, is not a sin. It is, unfortunately, a completely unworkable political philosophy for running a country.
You don't have to agree with someone's positions to understand where they might be coming from -- and I don't mean Alpha Centauri!
Kucinich is the type of guy i can disagree with on virtualy every issue, but at the end of the day, I can sit down and have a beer with the guy. He’s true to his convictions IMO, and isn’t a lying, conniving disingenuous SOB like most politicians. Maybe I havn’t followed him closely enough, but that’s my genuine take (he and Jerry Brown).

No garbage, I agree entirely. It would be great if Liberal prescriptions would improve the lot of people like little Dennis. Unfortunately, experience tells us that they make the poor young Dennises of this world much worse off. In countries like Zimbabwe, North Korea, they kill.
