That's false.
Here's a simple article detailing out some of the differences in his political beliefs and those of Dennis Kucinich.
Why Kucinich And Not Ron Paul
by Kevin Gosztola
http://www.opednews.com
Ron Paul doesn't support impeachment. Dennis Kucinich sponsored legislation for impeachment.
Ron Paul doesn't support 911 Truth and even worse implies that the government's version of 911 is true. Dennis Kucinich supports investigating 911.
Dennis Kucinich supports not-for-profit healthcare. Paul supports free market healthcare based on the ability to pay.
Ron Paul wants to eliminate all federal taxation. Dennis Kucinich wants to shift the tax burden to wealthy persons and corporations.
Ron Paul supports the neoliberal free market agenda of free trade, deregulation of business, and privatization of public assets. Dennis Kucinich supports fair trade.
Ron Paul falsely claims that lower taxes benefit all of us but this is false because different types of taxes affect different portions of the population. If you lower a regressive tax like the payroll tax then it benefits the poor and middle classes but not the wealthy. If you lower a progressive tax like a tax on corporate profits, capital gains tax, or federal estate tax then this benefits wealthy individuals and corporations but not the poor and middle classes. Paul also falsely states that lower taxes create jobs which is that trickle down economics crap that Ronald Reagan promoted which proved to be false. Paul also states that lower taxes allow us to make more decisions for ourselves about our lives which is only true if he's talking about regressive taxes that affect the poor and middle classes. Paul also falsely implies that all we have to do is cut spending and we''ll avoid economic disaster.
Ron Paul also wants to deport every single undocumented immigrant. Paul shamelessly exploits 911 for his anti-immigrant agenda when he says a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas when he knows full well there were no 911 terrorists and that the attack was really a controlled demolition. Kucinich wants to grant permanent legal residence to immigrants living in the US for 5 or more years and conditional legal status and work authorization to all law abiding immigrants living in the US for less than 5 years.
Ron Paul opposes the International Criminal Court where he justifies it by saying the ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals and that they are a threat to our independence as a nation. Well I say if our soldiers commit war crimes then they should be prosecuted as war criminals. The ICC is no threat to our independence as a nation. The only reason for anyone to oppose the ICC is to prevent international criminals from being brought to justice. Paul falsely claims that the jihadists are our direct enemies. Paul also falsely claims that our reason for going to war was a UN resolution. The UN had nothing to do with why our country went to war. Oil is the reason why our country went to war but Paul doesn't mention this and instead blames the UN to support his anti-UN agenda.
Paul is also an anti-abortion fanatic. Paul wants to redefine life as beginning at conception. I guess he wants to throw any woman who has an abortion in jail. Paul also wants to overturn Roe vs Wade. Paul claims federal court tyranny has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn. His statement is an oxymoron. You can't die if you've never been born. Paul is trying to impose his religious beliefs on those who don't share them. Kucinich used to be against a woman's right to have an abortion but his views on the issue changed several years ago and now he's a strong defender of a woman's right to choose.
Kucinich discusses 88 different issues on his website. Paul only discusses 10 topics on his website.

Kevin Gosztola lives in Chicago where he is studying to become a documentary filmmaker. When not writing on OpEdNews, he participates in the local campaign in Chicago for Dennis Kucinich for President, the Amnesty International chapter at Columbia, and assists with several political youth groups who face suppression and violation of civil liberties. For example, recently, the incident at Morton West and with three protesters on Oct 27th has led to the organization of weeks of action to raise awareness and money for the victims. Peace.
