At the Democratic debate in South Carolina, Dennis Kucinich was asked if, as President, he would drive the U.S. bankrupt the way he did Cleveland as its mayor. He answered by blaming the bankruptcy on an evil energy monopoly, and called the bankruptcy a "badge of honor". This immediately connected with the 92% of Americans who rank driving government into bankruptcy to thwart efforts of evil monopolies as their top concern, according to a recent CNN/Time/Pravda poll. See the actual transcript of the bizarre Kucinich at the South Carolina debate.
Kucinich also wants to promote the cause of labor unions, withdraw the U.S. from all its major international trade agreements, and dramatically raise taxes and expand the welfare state. He indicates that his goals are largely inspired by a favorite, obscure idealist hero of his named Vladimir Lenin.
But - it gets worse. It turns out Kucinich has unleashed his superior Marxist intellect to become an armchair astrophysicist. He gets to about a third-grade level of science before departing into a nauseating tirade of New Age antiscience. Sounds too bizarre to be true, I know, but see for yourself.
