Not from Kucinich. Granted, I'm not telepathic, but he acts out of principle. As a libertarian I dislike nearly all of his principles, but he's sure
got them. I just don't buy him acting out of desire for revenge. I think his motive was, first and foremost, that it's the right thing to do. Of
course, doing the right thing is so completely out of place and unwanted in US politics that it's inevitably perceived as crazy (Ron Paul gets this a lot
too).
I do suspect he had a secondary motive of pointing out the perfidy of the Democratic Party--saying, in effect, "If those guys believed the stuff they
say to get votes they'd be supporting me." In this, I think it's like Ron Paul's running for President as a real Conservative, and about as
useful. It's far, far too late for working within the system to be of any use.
