The problem with Dennis J. Kucinich....

I have a feeling I'm gonna hear from a couple of people after this entry. My commits are derived from readings on his website. Not this new version 2.0 that is now up, but the older one which in my opinion was more to the point on his stances.

Simply put, at this time our country is not ready to go in a quasi-socialistic direction. Kucinich wants to do too much, too fast. I'm not saying I disagree with the fellow, but his stances will fundamentally change America. Kucinich is not leaving a trail of crumbs for people to follow down his path. He's throwing the whole fruitcake at you, and tossing the decorative tin container it came in. Some people will go for this blunt approach, but most would prefer a gradual escalation. It's like getting your first driving lesson on the turnpike. Yeah, it's a hell of a way to learn, but you end up resenting being put in that situation for the rest of your life. You may have learned faster, and ultimately be a better driver because of it. But in your heart, you know eventually you would have gotten to that point without the stress and anxiety involved. That's Kucinich, pushing you into the express lane of the turnpike into socialism. As well intentioned he may be, it doesn't sit well with me and I'm sure with many others as well. Nothing in this country's history has radically developed and change the structure of our society. Ever meaningful change has bubbled up slowly, years and years in the making, building more and more pressure. Until one day, the bubble bursts and the supposed radical change occurs. The only thing radical about the change is that it really happened. It's been brewing and headed in that direction for years. So Mr. Kucinich I applaud you, and encourage you to keep reaching for your ultimate dream. Because as each day goes by, more and more people will copy your ideals and blend them into our society. Much like Microsoft copying the innovators at Apple. Come on, did you really think Microsoft thought up the idea of windows. Apple had it first, and does it better.
