Ohio congressman and Democratic presidential longshot Dennis Kucinich told supporters over the weekend that he's thinking about wild-card GOP hopeful Ron Paul as a running mate, because their administration could bring people together "to balance the energies in this country." Paul, the libertarian doctor-congressman from Texas, holds diametrically opposed views from Kucinich's on abortion, health care, and taxes, so, according to a Paul spokesman, a joint ticket "would never work," but the two candidates do agree on ending the war in Iraq and protecting civil liberties.

So much of the garbage on Huff&Puff is just immature emotion backed reactionary knee jerk reactions that have no better content than Ann Colter, Rush L., and Fox News. If fact, they all use the same propagandist techniques to generate interest, reactions and thus traffic along with advertising revenue.

With the Huff&Puff agenda, it is a small clone of the Owful Winfrey Political Machinery aimed to put Obomba into the Obomb-a-nation. No thanks.

Cool Citizen Journalism: User "Artificial Intelligence" Digs into Obama's Money Train
by Conor Kenny
SourceWatch/Congresspedia user Artificial Intelligence has been doing a lot of fantastic work on the wiki lately, particularly on the 2008 presidential election. She recently picked up on a common practice in politics - the easiest way for politicians to show gratitude and allegiance to each other is for the big dogs to kick some campaign contributions down to the folks on the lower rungs. The fundraising juggernaut that is Obama 2008 has apparently had a lot of gratitude to show lately. She says:

A recent analysis conducted by PoliticalMoneyLine of 2008 Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama's November 15, 2007, FEC filing revealed that Obama "has been the most aggressive of presidential candidates in using his leadership PAC to help the campaigns of state and local candidates, and not coincidentally, the funds spent that way have gone to Democrats in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. More than one-third of his leadership PAC money is being used this way."

Campaign reports show that in January 2007, when Obama launched his presidential campaign, Hopefund [Obama's PAC] fundraising all but stopped. Since June 2007 Obama has handed out more than $180,000. Additionally, FEC filings for late 2006 through October 2007 show that several recipients of Obama's Hopefund campaign contributions had also endorsed him within months of receiving funds.

Noah wound up becoming foremost an environmental activist. So here's my best attempt to emulate that:

Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul should run on a PRO LIFE platform since mainstream politicians have become satanic harbingers of death.

They should declare the following:

1. abortion should be outlawed. It's absurd for a doctor to bear responsibility for mistakenly killing a fetus on behalf of its mother.

2. the death penalty should be abolished. It's absurd for a worker to bear responsibility for mistakenly killing a human prisoner on behalf of his warden.

3. war should be forbidden. It's absurd for a soldier to bear responsibility for mistakenly killing a civilian on behalf of his President.

4. the environment should be protected. It's absurd for a worker to bear responsibility for the destruction of God's handiwork on behalf of a corporation.

Then Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich should turn jurisdprudence of their government over to God.

Excuse me, but has anyone seen Misanthrope2?

I had nothing to do with it if it was.

Good night Galvestonian. I hope you are still not mad at me.

Give a kiss to Ron Paul, will you?

This sort of thing is done ALL the time in Israel. Where a minority third party wraps itself into the majority party who is willing to grant the greatest number of concessions. It, in effect, from a policy standpoint, makes the minority party the strongest voice.

In America, party purists aren't smart enough to see the power of compromise. If the left-edgers were willing to join and compromise with the right-edgers, policy would sway in a radically different direction...and only through compromise would party purists begin to enjoy some real power.

The problem is mental. We see political bandwidth as a spectrum, when in reality it's a circle. And THAT'S the secret to how the establishment keeps power. Because they're already doing that. That's why pro-life and capital punishment advocates wind up in the same camp. While incompatible, we cast our ballots in a sort of sleep.

The secret is to wake up and discover WHOM you can tolerate as an idealogical bunkmate. Because you can't sleep alone.

I have been telling the doubters here for months that this would happen.
Humestupid and Misanthrope2 attacked me viciously when I first got here at huffpo.
I was ridiculed and called stupid and right wing and so is my candidate who I wear on my sleeve.
I would never change that.
Humestupid was so dedicated to Dennis Kucinich, stating "he would never get with that freak" and things like "your a dumb ass for following that fucking piece of shit loon."

Well, my predictions have been confirmed and my knowledge of this I must admit was 100% for sure.
The only question was, is America ready for truth or not.
I think about 50 % of Dems are and maybe 20% republicans are.
Take those and mix with seculars and Independents and I think the makings of a new "constitutionalist" party will be in order.
Dr. Paul and Dennis Kucinich know the parties have split, and the American people, as always, are the last to know.
They know what is at stake and if they both get elected and run this ticket, THIS COUNTRY WILL TAKE SUCH A HARD LEFT TURN IT WILL THROW THE NEOCONS AND THE CAPITULATING DNC TO THE CURB.
I called it. The American people will know the truth very soon.

Stay tuned.
Humestupid and Misconstrue2 and others.
I know you feel you must follow your party to war.
I understand you feel you have given to the campaign, only to be let down.
I also understand that the politicians have to go with their votes and go down with the ship.
This is what politicians do!
They have their vote to protect and several other lucrative things!!~!lol
The Dems have sunk all their eggs in the basket of WAR!
They will fail.
Do not let true statesmen such as Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul fail because you feel your shitty 50 dollars has bought your freedom, because it hasnt.
Take that money you threw at John Edwards or HRC and look at it like a stock or gambling loss.

Misanthrope2:

Looks like you are trying to team up with me again to viciously attack Galvestonian.

I want no part of it.

Who knows, Galvestonian migh go tell Dr. Paul, and Dr. Paul might get mad and cut off everyone's Social Security benefits, or quit UN prematurely.

Hey, Galvestonian, you are hilarious!

When did I call you those things? Are you sure?

Not that you don't deserve it, and not that I am beyond using those adjectives, but I don't remember ever dealing with you that much.

You are funny.

And I teamed up with Misanthrope2to attack you viciously when you got here?

How did we team up? Did we gang up onyou, you poor thing?

Bwahahahahahahahahhaha!

Sorry I can't stop laughing, Galvestinan.

And I never told you "your a dumb ass for following that fucking piece of shit loon."

I don't write like that. Show me where I said that, Galvestonian. You're making shit up, aren't you, you little devil.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

If there are any Kucinich fans who seem to be upset about this revelation, you can go to this website and see exactly the legal position Dr. Paul would take with our current situation.
Something I think should be the MOST important thing every American should know about their candidate.
Voting record should be the next.
It has been known for months(7or8) by the neoconservative establishment that this was going to happen. Thus, the UFO bomb dropped by Neo con Wolf Blitzer at the last Democratic debate.
Ron and Dennis are playing it smart.
They are letting out drips.
Ron must keep his distance because he knows what the conservative republicans would think about this merger!
They are very wise, they have gone up against their respective establishments before.
America will come out of their deep slumber when these two begin to talk in sync.
They only know truth.
Their wives only know truth.
They would never go against the people.

If you want to see how the campaigns legal opinions are comingled, watch this video and see what truth to power sounds like when they are in the room with a journalist that is considered one of Americas' best.

Bruce Fein, is the Chief Legal council to the Ron Paul campaign and his number is listed on Rons website:
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/
You can also see donations come in realtime and a true count of his contributions.
Bruce Fein holds the legal views of Ron Paul, otherwise he would not hold this position in Rons campaign.

Jon Nickols, the other "Noble American" being interviewed, is the lib3ral publisher and journalist at the Nation magazine.
This would be a good place for people to learn what is important to the Kucinich campaign as well as the Paul campaign.

The truth is gonna hit! If these two have their way it will be a bomb of true freedom, liberty and swift justice to those that have wrecked our good name.

In many ways Dr. Paul seems quite out of touch with issues stemming from population growth. He dreams of an America that no longer exists and does not have the space and resources to return to. However, on the main issues of the economy, trade and the dumbass war, he has spoken to the point and at times eloquently. Most of his ideas would never pass through a Republican or Democratic system. Why? The name of the game is: what's in it for me?

Look at it this way:

Each, on his own, has no almost chance to get nominated.

Together, they stand a somewhat better chance to
get nominated & elected. Roughly twice as good as
separately. You can almost, sort of, imagine the Demos
nominating Kucinich with Paul as VP. Likewise, the Repos,
with Kucinich as VP.

(All right, call it a fantasy & it may make your head hurt.)

But 'great political theater' is what US politics is all about!

Kucinich/Paul - Tag Team 2008 - Are We Not Ready for the Terrible Two?

Separately, no chance. Together, twice as good. At least, twice as odd.
