You're absolutely right. I'm moving my support from Kucinich to Obama, conditioned on Kucinich being vip. I won't support Hillary. If she's chosen, then my support shifts third party.

Five Issues:
1) Healthcare, jobs, Iraq... is this 1992?!
This has all happened before and it will all happen again... until there's REAL change. The last time we shot into Iraq like Superman saving a Kuwaiti Lois Lane, we were in, then we were out. The problem, US policy towards the ME, was never really tackled by capable leaders. Clinton jumped around because he was afraid of the press, and then was distracted by his biggest vice: heavy chicks. He was a bandaid. Healthcare? We all saw how afraid Bill was to back up Hillary back when she was selflessly championing universal healthcare. Jobs will be a problem until we get rid of the FED and revert to backed money.

2) Pax Americana?
If we closed every US military base off US soil, we could reopen every closed base in the US AND give every single member of all branches of the military a sizable, and well deserved raise. Not only that, but it would provide us the opportunity to develop healthy relationships with our allies. If we need their help, we can ask! If they need our help, we're glad to help.

3) War economy?
This one pisses me off. One of the earlier lessons in economics is that war = economic boon. This mistake was made because all my stupid econ teachers are boomers and don't know what the fuck they're talking about (fortunately, members here have restored my faith in baby boomers). I've never lived through a real war, but I've seen what conflicts do to the economy. A war economy is a weak economy because it's dependent on continued conflict.

4) BOO! Terrorism!
Only an idiot should be afraid of terrorism in the US. There are a lot of idiots. Idiots used to be afraid of communists (a more realistic fear to be sure, but none the less ignorant).

5) Um, not sure.
