Hijacked or didn't like the discussion? Just because you don't like the way a conversation is going doesn't mean you pick up your ball and go to another playground. If you are that much in the tank for someone why not stand up for them in the fight -- in the conversation that is going against them?
How do you people operate when faced with the daily conflict of life? Just reinvent yourself? Start over?

Why would I start a new thread on the same subject? Well, I thought I explained why in my last post. Is there a dialog disconnect between us? I have absolutely no issue with someone who may have different ideas than myself. What I do have an issue with is someone who results to name calling and other schoolyard tactics because it is counterproductive to any decent debatable material. It takes away from the main debate, just as you're doing here. That's it, I guess I'll have to start a new Kucinich thread.
When did I ever infer that it was you who resulted in school yard tactics? I don't recall naming anyone specific. Now you seem to come across as arguing for the sake of arguing. Adore him? Hardly, but I do appreciate his position on going after corporate criminals. That is my perception and position. If you're perception or position is anti Kucinich you still haven't produced one valid argument. Don't worry, I'll wait.

Ah! Have I resulted to school grounds tactics? Or is questioning your position enough to start another thread? What is the main debate? That Kucinich was a noble man? That he was the representative we all deserve? Aren't those all based on perception and position? While you may absolutely adore him, there are others that oppose him. Is such opposition bad? Apparently by your insistence to produce another thread on the same subject it is.
