    If you haven't seen this on the news already, you should see how heartless this guy is:

    http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=95gMzMX1BG0

    :confused:

    I could never turn my back on that guy and let him live in fear of arrest throughout his dying days. He didn't even answer his question. This guy is not to be trusted.

    That's my rant for the day.

    Thanks for listening,

    These people don't really care about the voters. Look at that phony smile he puts on while shaking hands with the sheeple.

    If America were a truly free country, it wouldn't matter what Romney thinks about medicinal marijuana.

    I mean, that sucks for Romney, because its a loaded question. He either has to say he would arrest him and look like a dick, or say he supports medical marijuana, which he does not. At the same point, it highlights the problem with outlawing medical marijuana in our country.

    This guy is in a wheelchair, in extreme pain nonstop, and for many people, normal prescribed painkillers don't help. My mom just got minor back surgery done for herniated disks, she was prescribed hydrocodone, which is basically one step below oxycotton and morphine, and it did NOTHING for her pain. Particularly with cancer patients, marijuana increases their appetite!

    I just don't see how anyone can be supportive of marijuana prohibition; alcohol prohibition failed miserably. Also, marijuana criminalization was justified mostly by racism towards Mexicans, special interest groups like Dupont, and false prograganda like "Reefer Madness", all things modern day politicians don't like to talk about. A huge portion of our criminal justice system is populated by non-violent marijuana offenders, and we ruin their lives and finance them at the tune of $65,000/yr or however much an inmate costs...for what? They were peacefully smoking a n herb of the earth.

    Marijuana has its bad health effects, but they are incredibly overblown. Never mind that we have no problem with the ill health effects of tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and any other number of substances. It's just a waste of our money, an overreaction to a small problem, and something that legislation has done nothing to change anyway.

    One interesting thing is how many of these politicians have used marijuana.

    Well I'll admit, that's one area Romney probably is not a hypocrite in, if he sticks to Mormon values. But the overall hypocrisy of our lawmakers is incredible, and it's mostly because they are doing what they think we the people are asking for. We need to take this country back from those who seek to push their values upon everyone; they are the true enemies.

    When I was a kid there was this District Attorney in our county. He used to go really hard on possession, then he got cancer, now he is recovered and publicly supports medical marijuana.

    Wonder why? ;)

    If anything, alcohol should be illegal and marijuana should be legal. Marijuana is far safer than liquor.

    Alcohol is much worse, I agree. Make Mary Jane prescription only.

    Vote Ron Paul for decriminalization!

    Prohibition doesn't work. Fletch posted the #s of what it costs for us to incarcerate people who have non-violent drug convictions. $400 Billion into the war on drugs since the 70s. Was that money well spent?

    If I had 400 billion I'd already rule the world. Or a good chunk of it.

    Bah. That'd be a waste of what could be spent on initial investments and manpower to begin the creation of my uber-complex of doom in an unspecified location(s). From that I would start carving out countries with puppet governments, until an alliance is formed, creating one large superpower. Of course, I am being vague, and I don't want anyone to succeed before I do.

    Donations to the Jackuul Empire World Takeover fund are welcome.

    I already donated once. ;)

    I'm assuming you are still holding my position as Chief Minister of Vice Secretary Power in the Office of Secretive Things and Blue Socks?

    I thought you'd be more relaxed and contented with Minister of Secretive Blue Socks and Frocks

    Romney went on a road trip with his family. He didn't want the dog in the car for the several hour drive. He strapped a carrier onto the top of his car and stuck his dog in it. That is why I won't vote for him.:) Besides, he supports hunting and rodeos.

    What a cruel bastard.

    My dog sits next to me whenever I go ANYWHERE. If it had been a cat... meh. But a dog, on the top of a car, in the wind and such? Idiotic, dangerous, harmful, and reprehensible.

    I never liked Mr. Smiles (first off he reminds me of 'Bob' in those male enhancement commercials, or whatever his name is in those - second off I just get a bad vibe from his mannerisms in speaking) and I never will like Mr. Stiff Smiles. Put a dog on the roof of a moving vehicle in a crate... the insanity...

    He also supports polygamy, gay marriage, the right to talk to lawyers before you invade another country, the right to attack Hillary, the right to lie about his record on tax reform in Massachusetts, and most importantly, he's dying to get advance memos from the CFR so he can further the agenda of a North American Union, where every American loses their job, and their standard of living to migrant Mexicans, while the remainder of our wealth is used to finance a welfare state for the families.

    Did I mention that he also wants the right to argue with the vacuous Rudy Giuliani and usurp the Constitution with line-item vetoes?

    Yeah, I thought that was mean. And Rudy Giuliani's wife killed dogs for a living. "A few days after GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani announced that his wife, Judith, would be welcome to attend cabinet meetings at the White House, the New York Post reports this morning that the registered nurse worked as a traveling saleswoman for a company that killed dogs to demonstrate surgical staples to potential clients."

    I don't know what I am going to do. A few months ago, they were my top choices. But now I don't think I could vote for either. I need to find a candidate that loves animals.:)
