Republicans recognize the true democrat
So as far as I can see, Dennis Kucinich is the real deal.
In an earlier column I called him an "odd little man."

Bush, Cheney Indictments in Plame Case Looming :The Real Reason Tenet and Pavitt Resigned
It is one of the greatest ironies of the Plame affair that the Bush administration, spawned and nurtured by oil, might have committed suicide by vindictively, cruelly and unthinkingly exacting personal retribution on an intelligence officer who had committed no offense, and who was, quite possibly, providing the administration with critical oil-related intelligence which the President needed to manage our shaky economy and affairs of state for a while longer to squeak through to re-election....
