"law enforcement" won't give up the $$ cash cow for busting pot smokers - police welfare nt msongs May 2012 #1

I am afraid to Meiko May 2012 #6

She won for many other reasons, but this was not that big of an issue in the campaign. HuckleB May 2012 #2

Well, the drug reformers accounted for 25% of her campaign war chest... Comrade Grumpy May 2012 #4

wow! RainDog May 2012 #9

It was a one minute issue at best. HuckleB May 2012 #14

I live here too. I and the local press disagree with you... Bluenorthwest May 2012 #19

So some young reporter whose focus is on his or her own obsession is all you need. HuckleB May 2012 #29

Like it or not that's an AP story fronm the second largest daily in Oregon Bluenorthwest May 2012 #44

Nice logical fallacy of a response. HuckleB May 2012 #30

well, it's the Drug Policy Alliance making the claim RainDog May 2012 #5

Which makes the claim much less viable. HuckleB May 2012 #12

And what is it that makes your claim viable? Bluenorthwest May 2012 #16

What would stats or links show? HuckleB May 2012 #31

you deny what every other source says RainDog May 2012 #39

here ya go RainDog May 2012 #49

remember what you said when Democrats make a claim RainDog May 2012 #24

Thanks for pretending to respond. HuckleB May 2012 #32

Why do you think Pelosi came out against the DoJ's raids in CA? RainDog May 2012 #41

And another logical fallacy (actually two in one sentence, it appears) is offered up. HuckleB May 2012 #33

Right. Sort of like that crazy group who called Marijuana the "defining issue" of the campaign. Warren DeMontague May 2012 #46

So, the Horton campaign ITSELF said medical marijuana was the defining issue of the campaign? RainDog May 2012 #47

No, no, no no, since he lost it was a total non-issue. As the Oregonian put it, a "distraction". Warren DeMontague May 2012 #52

Sorry, but, no. HuckleB May 2012 #13

Some PR guy is pushing this? HuckleB May 2012 #34

It's fascinating to read your denial here n/t RainDog May 2012 #42

oh, and look at this - RainDog May 2012 #48

how do we know it isn't you who is spreading propaganda... fascisthunter May 2012 #27

mmmm Warren DeMontague May 2012 #28

Ah, so personal attacks and logical fallacy is your thing? HuckleB May 2012 #37

I dont know, I could just rack up a whole bunch of sort of vacuous posts in a thread on the topic. Warren DeMontague May 2012 #38

Nice personal attack, and logical fallacy in one swift swipe. HuckleB May 2012 #36

So if you write several posts about "logical fallacies", does that count as one? Warren DeMontague May 2012 #40

Here it was THE issue. What it boiled down to was Holton flipping the bird to the Bluenorthwest May 2012 #15

k&r n/t RainDog May 2012 #3

YES!!!!!!!!! Warren DeMontague May 2012 #7

What's interesting is that Holton was punished RainDog May 2012 #10

Its only interesting -or maybe surprising- to people who aren't paying attention. Warren DeMontague May 2012 #11

Here is the opening paragraph on the outcome from the Register Guard Eugene... Bluenorthwest May 2012 #17

Who wrote that? HuckleB May 2012 #35

The by line is at the link. 'By Jonathan Cooper The Associated Press' Bluenorthwest May 2012 #43

LOLOL!!!! n/t RainDog May 2012 #45

So what was Holton's reasoning for opposing the existing medical marijuana laws? randome May 2012 #18

Here's a link to the handbook from the State on the law.... Bluenorthwest May 2012 #20

"Abuses" of the program. Comrade Grumpy May 2012 #22
