[video=youtube;6lTbAI4sP0M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lTbAI4sP0M&feature=youtu.be[/video] Just a reminder that Romney (like Obama) doesn't care about your freedom and wants to continue the failed war on drugs. If at first it doesn't succeed... just keep doing it and ignore the results! This nations approach to drug laws is beyond asinine, a complete failure and... supported by both of the schmucks running for office. ... America the free my ass...
I agree with you. The government is simply wasting time and money trying to lock everybody up that does marijuana. The drug has a less harmful effect than alcohol and tobacco. Unfortunately, the only candidate who supported the legalization was Ron Paul, and he will obviously not win because of his lack of delegates. (I do not speak from experience )
Correct, but Gary Johnson stands very little chance in being elected president. I didn't even know who he was up into a few days ago. A point brought up often though is, can Gary Johnson effect either Romney or Obama?
Haha yes, but you still need people to vote against them. Like I said, Gary Johnson just isn't well known enough. He doesn't stand a chance between Obama and Romney. Too many brain washed liberals and desperate Republicans.
I have yet to understand the difference between physician-prescribed opiates and medical marijuana. Opium-based drugs are OK but marijuana isn't? Did I get that right? Now, I don't use either, so this doesn't impact on me (or my family for that matter) but let's have a little consistency here.
It's another reason I don't support Romney, but on this score Obama isn't much better. He's let the Fed turn loose on marijuana facilities. IMO, it is hypocritical of Obama, who smoke pot when he was younger, to pursue this strategy. It is ruining the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for doing the same thing he, our president,did.
It's also listed as a schedule 1 narcotic. The federal government believes that marijuana is more dangerous than heroin... [video=youtube;7N0i3l0TZL4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N0i3l0TZL4[/video] The head of the US DEA won't even admit that cannabis is less harmful than crack or heroin. STUPID STUPID STUPID. Isn't much better? He's worse because he lied about it to get elected and then did a 180 in office. Hypocrite and a liar. I thought they were pretty blue anyway, not sure how close it would have been. Could be wrong on this score.
Agree with Romney, partially. Drug legalization should occur. "Medical marijuana" is code for government control (i.e. see you doctor and pay the appropriate outrageous bill for a high).
Though I think marijuana should be legalized, regulated, and taxed, it certainly won't stop me from voting for Romney. A conservative or right leaning independent voting for anyone other than Romney, is a vote for Obama. That's just how it is, the support for 3rd party candidates is simply not there this time around. Besides, marijuana laws are pretty low on the priority list right now.
Don't think that Axelrod hasn't thought of enacting November 6, 2012 as "free joint" day in the USA to keep the wealthy stoners from voting for Romney.
I believe the issue of medical marijuana is an issue best left up to the STATES.He never said he apposes states that approve of it,or counties and municipalitys.A state can have a law allowing marijuana for medical use,but cities can ban its use and sale. If you want medical marijuana,have it put on the ballot in your state or district. And I really doubt a President Romney will sue a state that passes its own medical marijuana law..
Medical marijuana is the least of my concerns as well even though I support its legalization also.But I dont think it would be right for the Feds to step on state sovereignty and force them to legalize it if they dont want it.
First, you're vote barely counts as is. Statistically you're vote is irrelevant, combine that with the electoral college and it's even less significant. Any vote against the two party duopoly is a vote for a better future. We've all been hosed by both Republicans and Democrats, it's far past time to jump ship. That'd be nice if state laws weren't trumped by federal law prohibiting it. Did you not see the video? Our idiotic DEA can't even tell you that crack and heroin are worse than cannabis. It's a schedule 1 narcotic and only the president+congress can do anything to change that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Substances_Act Cocaine, morphine, heroin, oxycodone, opium... all of these are considered LESS dangerous than marijuana by our federal government. Does this make sense to anyone? Anyone?
The people, and third party candidates are also to blame for the 'two party duopoly'. 3rd party candidates often have views and ideas that make the majority uncomfortable, and people tend to stick with what they're comfortable with. When you have one of two choices, a choice between the lesser of two evils, it doesn't make a lot of sense to vote for, or support someone who doesn't have a chance. I myself, wanted to see Ron Paul win in 2012, and decided to support him until it was clear whether or not he had a chance. Well, now it's clear, and for me (by my views), Romney is without a doubt a better option. While it's true that your vote may not count at the end of the day, the electoral college tends to reflect what the voters of a particular state reflect. So, it still makes sense for me to support and vote for Romney. If I were left leaning, while not being too big on Obama, but still okay with another four years of Obama, I could comfortably vote 3rd party. That's not the case though, hence why it's now Romney or bust.
Colorado has only gone blue twice in 40 years, once for Clinton, and once for Obama, This video will hurt Romney there as all the legalize guys will be out vote in Colorado this Nov for a local legalize mandate that's on the same ballot. Washington state is in the same spot but they are firmly blue so it wont matter much there.
Its not about the marijuana .. its about some shmuck who claims to be a conservative but does not give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about the constitution and wants to force his personal religious beliefs on others through force of law. I get that religious right extremists and other stupid people dont get it .. but I expect the President get it. This is just another example of what an idiot Romney is. The self annointed "business candidate" who cant figure out that after: 1) Dow dropping from 14,000 to 6500 2) Housing market collapsing 3) Financial system on the brink of collapse 4) Revenue dropping from 2.7 Trillion to 2.1 Trillion 5) Debt of 12 Trillion 6) Deficit of 1.3 Trillion a few jobs are going to be lost and it is going to take a bit for the economy to recover. The guy is a fool and that is why you should not vote for him. Im no fan of Obama either but it was
Nonsense! You up to snuff on campaign finance? What's required to get on a ballot? The republicrats do everything in their power to prevent third party candidates from ever being on a ballot or ever getting their message out. It's why so often they have to take to the web to spread their message. Vote for more of the same, get more of the same and the same ain't been so good. Makes no difference anyway. The chances of you having the deciding vote in a presidential election is less than the chances of you getting struck by lightning and winning the lottery in the same day. Your vote is statistically insignificant. Oh goodie, the better smelling turd. Depending on your state, there's no reason not to. Most states vote the same way every single year, even hundreds of thousands of people voting for third parties would have no impact whatsoever.... unfortunately. I wish we had proportional representation.
