Reply #13: Kucinich [View All]

I was serving on Jury duty today and had a long time sitting around reading old Time Magazines they had lying around. I read an article from back in May by Joe Klien about the Democratic party and what they need. While I think Klien is a dolt, he had a few good points. His main argument is that the Democratic party has no convictions and no political courage. On almost every issue they take a stand on, it's on that is already popular. He went on to describe how the "6 viable" candidates were all this kind of Clinton Democrat. This is where his article started to contradict itself. I would say the three candidates he didn't consider viable, Kucinich, Sharpton and to some extent Mosley Braun, are the ones that do have convictions and political courage. I would be happy with Kucinich or Sharpton, but I think Kucinich has more experience and a clearer plan for the country. He is my top choice by far, and think because he does have convictions and courage his nomination would be the best for the Democratic party and the country, win or lose against Bush in 2004.
