Corn syrup. They are more deadly and detrimental to society than a little herb that never hurt anyone.

Just another freedom hating big government republican that feels the government should control whats in our gardens. Hypocrit double talk phoney.

he couldn't even crack down on a bridge closure----oops, I forgot that's still under investigation.
But he knows how to spend tax dollars on frivolous lawsuits because the citizens of the states that passed the legislation to legalize this plant passed with a 50+1 majority---oh yea, he forgot to "shut up and sit down"

In my entire life.. The Republicans are the Party of Law Enforcers, Judgdes, the Court system and of course the Prison systems..
All support the so called WAR on CRIME...
Today we have Video after Video that shows us the changes since Nixon..
Its a War on those they serve...
All are guilty until proven innocent..
Police across America getting caught on camera abusing those they serve to even Murder..
Taking on the likes of the Military..

Way back in time Police had to ride in 2s..
All had to live in the Cities they served..
Even had Street beat Police on foot..
All knew their Areas and the Folks they protected..
Everyone knew their Local police by name..
Since Nixon drew the line in the sand..
Police are not even close to being what they were supposed to be...
It was us the Public who went along with those Claims that Police need more tools to fight that War on Crime..
Expanded to a War on Drugs.. Focuses on the Public they served..
We the Public are to blame....

Now this Dickhead who just kisses the ass of the same Folks who got us here in the first place with pure lies..

I have a saying,
Facts just get in the way of those Repukes.. They are the Party of Bullspin..
If you are man enough, Not Gay, and don't smoke Pot.. You can join them..
Oh are you Christian enough as well?????

This is the Party of what I call legit Discrimination...
Slice, Dice, Separate, and Persecute is the tactics used everyday 365 days a years..
If you not one of them??? They have declared you as the Problem..

...but they don't so it's just another reason Christie is irrelevant in the real world. The one that exists outside the fantasy universe in which he occupies the center.

Oh, hell was blubberbutt politically correct? Sometimes I can't tell if I'm over the top.
But I've been compiling a comprehensive list, some with broad categories that cover even the more detailed ones, of the groups Republicans have actively alienated, I've even surprised myself with how long this has gotten.
Feel free to suggest groups I haven't included here. Might as well add "legal or medical marijuana advocates" now:
Remember, Republicans want liberty and prosperity for everyone.
Unless of course you are:

Union members
Automotive industry workers
Public Transportation employees
Public Works employees
Postal Service employees and users
Stimulus Infrastructure construction and repair employees and supporters
U.S. geological survey employees and supporters
Scientists
Educators
National Education Association

Anyone who believes in evolution
Big bang theorists
Physicists
Artists
Coastal residents
Critical thinkers

Anyone brown skinned

Families of 9/11 victims
Families of school shooting victims
Anyone who doesn't believe in the "war on christmas"
Anyone who doesn't believe everything Fox News says
Welfare recipients
Food Stamp recipients
Fast food workers
Minimum wage earners
Anyone Pro-choice
Anyone who wants maternity leave benefits
Feminists and supporters
Marriage Equality supporters
Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transgender
Muslims
Anyone who watches MSNBC or CNN
NPR listeners
Bill Maher fans

Anyone who thinks the rich should pay fair taxes
Anyone who is against tax evaders

At least the ones who still believe the greatest threat to America is the "Long Haired Hippie Freaks".

These are the same folks who still buy Vitalis.
