I also don't see how running on a peace platform makes someone an unreliable kook with no other foriegn policy chops other than the machinery of war?
We cannot forget that Kucinich remains one of the only candidates to oppose the war in the first place and make no apologies for doing so.
From his website:
"All of this has estranged and frightened our allies and provoked enduring enmity in the councils of other governments and the hearts of citizens around the world. George Bush's foreign policies have made us new foreign enemies. George Bush's defense policies have weakened our defenses. George Bush's responses to 9/11 have made future 9/11s more likely to occur."
All the Jerry Garcia dancing bears could not make me ignore that I like what he has to say about almost nearly every issue that I care about--most especially education. Again, not saying he'll get the nomination or that he does not divide people even more while giving the GOP yet more fuel to depict us as out of touch hippy dippy types...but, I'll say again: he's not to be brushed off so easily as bad for the party. IMO.
