...do NOT promote and participate in the crack down on local Medical Marijuana Dispensaries,
and that the White House is NOT pushing this Anti-Marijuana agenda???

Since when it telling the truth a "smear"?

A few weeks ago, before the White House decision to NOT enforce the immigration laws on some undocumented immigrants,
the Party Line at DU was that "the Attorney General MUST enforce ALL the laws,
and fight EVERY single legal challenge to ANY law on the books."

I AM curious if any of the hard liners here have changed their story.
