as someone else noted, the libertarian wing of the party is real pot heavy ... But it is like anything else with the GOP, they get to do it and act above it ...

And if that made him a liberal, then what's that make the majority of us here?

23. Seriously? Liberal because he smoked pot?
Good grief. I know of a guy and his wife who are extremely conservative/republican and are not libertarians but smoke reefer like its going out of style. "Next up on MSN: Shooter owned a pair of sandals and was known to occasionally sport facial hair therefore shooter must have been a hard core liberal." Geeez.
