Paul said his libertarian political philosophy helps him connect with some on the far left — including Kucinich, who shares Paul’s general anti-war stance.

Paul joked that if he brought the Ohio congressman aboard in his administration, he might have to create a "Department of Peace."

This guy is the crazy uncle in the Gop's attic. Why is the GOP allowing this nut in the Presidential debates?

I think it's more a function of the media sponsor than it is the GOP. There was a thread yesterday about how the Florida GOP insisted that Gary Johnson not be in tomorrow's debate. Fox News overrode the Florida GOP and Johnson will participate in the debate.

It's my opinion the media encourages the visibility of so-called "Republican" loonies, like Paul and Johnson, because it makes the GOP look stupid.

My thoughts exactly!
Ron Paul + Dennis Kucinich = KOOKS squared

For the comic relief aspect.
