The de-facto GOP killing ticket: Gore / Kucinich
Yeah, sure, they may be billed as "the extreme left", but after 8 years of the Republicans fucking things up and taking everything for themselves, this *IS* exactly what we need to turn this country around from us possibly sinking into another depression. Do I need to spell it out?

I could rest in peace. The batons of liberty and freedom and justice would be handed off into the hands of the future... to our children and grandchildren...

11. Nonsense
They'll ridicule any ticket we put out. All we need is an effective strategy to fight back.

23. He's the only candidate with the balls to talk about impeachment`
And correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he say recently that the next administration should have the current one placed under arrest and held for trial for war crimes? :shrug:

33. just because he says the things you/we like to hear, it doesn't make him generally electable.
and those that can't see that probably haven't been around for enough elections yet.

25. Who sais Kucinich has no business being near the ticket?
Hillary supporters and their clueless conservative republican counterparts who are homogeneously bound in a monolithic fate? Or is it the ones who embrace the corporately owned mainstream media’s involuted circus of conservative partisans fraud, manipulated facts and a rigged electoral process? Or is it the ones that have eyes that don’t see, ears that don’t hear, and minds that have nothing but contempt for objectivity, pursuing invariably the degradation of good and common sense too the level of inimical conformity in a paradigm of political party group think, ware lemmings and sheepeople ripe for the slaughter revel in the obscurity of impending doom?

Just what part of general electorate are you talking about? :shrug:

31. i think i just did...
i'm talking about that part of the general electorate that actually goes to the polls and votes.

kucinich just hasn't been able to connect with them.

the nra voter for instance- kucinich has already shot himself in the foot with them, so to speak...

35. Well maybe if the corporately owned conservative biased mainstream media
gave Kucinich the same air time as they do the corporately owned top democratic candidates, the general electorate would be able to connect with him, in fact I believe, if that was the case Kucinich would win by a land slide because he is far more aligned with the general electorate than any other candidate could possible dream of.

9. But, Kucinich is only 5 ft 7
Edited on Fri Nov-09-07 01:40 AM by kster
but he also has a a bucket full of balls, Gore/Kucinich
the dream ticket, indeed.

My personal favorite, both are not afraid of having the ballots HAND COUNTED OUT IN THE OPEN FOR ALL TO SEE.

Unlike all the other RAT BASTARDS!!

10. As fun as it would be... Gore's not running
With that in mind, the Democracy for America poll shows us that Edwards would be the one paired with Kucinich, if all goes according to plan.

Folks... Kucinich is turning out to be solid front runner material. As posted above, "bucket full of balls"

13. Kucinich wouldn't piss on the best part of Edwards, WHY?
because Kucinich has got BALLS, Edwards and ALL the other SO CALLED presidential candidates want corporate vote counts, Kucinich would go for a fair straight up Hand Counted contest, The other candidates NEED a corporate controlled vote count!!

Its that simple, If Clinton, Obama or Edwards went up against Kucinich in a FAIR Hand Counted Paper Ballot Race, they would be f-ck-d, AND THEY KNOW IT!

Talk about a political wet dream...

I doubt it'll happen. I doubt Gore is running at this point and the MSM will play up Dennis's eccentricities too much for him to get a fair shake but if there was ever a ticket that could redeem your country's reputation around the world, that's it (the other option being Gore/Kerry running as "The Restoration Ticket").

EDIT: Also, I second the other posters, Dennis has more guts that the rest of the House put together. The little dude is the only one who seems to realise that you become great by hanging your balls out there and daring people to take a shot at them.

16. Gore and ...
... almost ANYONE ! Dennis would be great ( and actually closest to my views ), but an easy target unfortunately . That UFO question already speaks volumes. But Gore on the top of the ticket would be the safest, smartest, and ironically ... most qualified and worthy nominee possible. Feingold would be a great VP, Edwards would be very nice, Obama probably too.

Please Mr. Gore ... the country and the WORLD needs you !

19. They label Hillary as extreme left, so it won't matter
that they label Gore/Kucinich as extreme left. They'll do it to whoever wins the nomination in hopes of scaring up their base into voting.

30. Hard to imagine any better combo
Gore, the supreme environmental pragmatist allied with Kucinich, the consummate Constitutionalist.

Nah, Fox News wouldn't go for it.

36. For a chance at any real change, Kucinich should be on the ticket.
I think his inclusion on any ticket would offer some protection against assassination of another president, especially if that administration were to focus any attention on fighting political/corporate/organized-crime corruption (the Dan Quayle effect).
