Ron Paul I think had the same integrity as Dennis Kucinich, but some of his ideas implemented would be a complete disaster. Kucinich, I agree, was the only one running who has the intergity and the convictions we needed. But America isn't ready yet for people with that kind of backbone.
I am glad though, for the interruption of white men in the white house, and I do think Obama is at least one of the best we've had so far and a step in the right direction if he doesn't keep watering himself down.
However, it's a mistake to equate ALL people who identify with scripture and jesus christ with war, oppression, nationalism, sexism, racism, homophobia, etc.. It's those with the biggest mouths and the most hysteria that get noticed and hijack religious representation, but it's a misrepresentation. There are plenty of people who use their faith to push them forward - people like Cornel West, who y'all should look up if you don't know about him already.
