Reply #161: Cares about the Constitution? [View All]

Hi, very long-time lurker, finally registered.

As a person, I like Kucinich better than any other candidate. I applaud Kucinich for standing up to Bush and his unconstitutional actions. Nobody else seems to have the courage to do it as straightforward as it needs to be done.

But his hands are not clean, he doesn't completely care about the Constitution. He is trying to ban guns, in direct contravention of the 2nd Amendment. He is trying to bring up the "Fairness" Doctrine again in direct contravention of the First Amendment (we would have a serious problem if progressive ideals couldn't win in the free marketplace and require government enforcement to make them heard, but trashing the Constitution isn't the answer). He voted yes on a constitutional amendment banning flag desecration, again against the 1st Amendment (I may wish to see such flag burners punished, but freedom of expression also means expression you loathe, so this war vet will have to just bite the bullet and let them burn).
