nevermind

It will be Obama.

...before getting all riled up when a post hits the forum, perhaps it would be best to understand the person and motivation behind the post.

For example, in the case of this post, this Heraty character doesn't appear to exist when clicking on his/her name. As do one or two early posters to this thread who supported the idea posed by the original post.

I suppose it was the same person trying to raise a commotion amongst the true RP supporters that frequent this forum; and it seemed to work.

Please take time to understand the motivation and intent of posts before responding when the subject appears like it will divide us.

Thanks for reading.

Thinking long about this, I would have to say that this is a bad idea. A Democratic endorsement of any kind right now would destroy all inroads made with Main Street Republicans. It would leave him vulnerable to attack and criticism, distraction from the real issues.

Although I have the utmost confidence in the Doctor to handle it, now is not the time for a Kucinich endorsement. While I admire him for his fearlessness, he doesn't have a whole heckuva lot of support, hence his retirement from the campaign.

I also believe that Dennis knows this, and he wouldn't want to compromise his friend's real chance at the nomination.

Save it for the general election.

Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that more people think like we do than actually do. These people are seasoned political operatives. Let's give the Good Doctor the benefit of the doubt.

Stop criticizing the campaign and let them do what they do best. If anyone knows the inner workings of the political game, it's Ron Paul. He knows what he is doing.

Keep supporting him with funding and campaigning, and let the experts handle the rest.

I don't think the generally conservative, generally pro-war primary electorate is going to flock to Dr. Paul because Kucinich endorsed him. General election - great. Primary - bad.

Kucinich, Nader ect. ect. suporters/Voters
We are in the fight of our life's and the rounds are getting late in the fight.
P.S. I sure hope to God they don't put that Kid (Rudy G. ) next to our man again tonight!

We do not want his endorsement. Most Americans think he is out there and would make us look crazy! It’s not a ringing endorsement. Can we find somebody else please? I would much rather have endorsements from judge Napolitano.

Cant not endorese RP economic policy but he can endorse his FP and defence of personal liberty.

It's not an endorsement from Dennis Kucinich that we need, it's votes from his supporters that we need, all 50 of them :-) No, seriously, does anybody really know the depth of his support in the coming primaries? In 2004 he just missed out on winning Hawaii by a small percentage, and got into double digits in several states, and got to speak at the Democratic National Convention.

I say who cares who these politicians support, lets go after their supporters. So welcome Hunter, Thompson and Kucinich supporters.

Or he's done as a democrat..John Edwards would be my guess

but if Ron wins the nomination it might bring more votes from the anti-war Left in the general election.

so there's a strong chance he will endorse Dr. Paul.

from Kuccinich for RP for 'obeying the constitution and being anti-war',would be just fine.
I would doubt Kucc. would ask his supporters to vote for RP-c'mon,RP does not stand for all that he stands for,either.
But endorsement would not hurt us anymore than the 'pro-life' endorsement recently hurt us with those of us who are pro-choice. (ie,it didn't).
High profile endorsements from people, based on their position of choice works to our advantage. It's not 'collectivism'; it's reality.

I am sure he feels bad he put in so much effort and the media shut him out just like Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul needs Kucinich like he needs all of the 9/11 Truthers endorsing him. He'll just alienate himself from the GOP base. He needs Republican votes in order to win the nomination.

that why he dropped out people are able to donate to his campaign for congress I think he is someone that needs to be kept in congress

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent" Thomas Jefferson

to the people that think it is stupid to ask for his endorsement.....you are stupid! Ron Paul and Dennis are good friends and we probobly don't even need to ask for his endorsement because he already said he would choose RP as his running mate out of the whole field including dems. This would be a good endorsement i live in Austin and there is a good amount of support for him here so it could only help us.

....there are a lot more dennis supporters out there and undecided democrats than one may think. just like the shenanigans that have gone on for paul: msm blackout, vote fraud, election fraud, caucus fraud, delegate fraud.

and here:

every vote counts.

Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul couldn't be more different. Ron Paul stands for liberty and free markets, Kucinich stands for government-controlled everything!

Not to mention, any association of Ron Paul to Kucinich will kill what little Republican base support we're getting anyways and would seriously challenge me to rethink my support depending on how Ron Paul responded to it.

Good grief you guys, do realize what you're advocating...sheesh.
