Paul Ryan is in favor of leaving the medicinal cannabis issue up to the states.

[Webster Green]

I just heard that on Norman Goldman's show.

1. I believe that was what Barack Obama said four years ago.

The actions of the DEA under his administration have been disturbing.

[jberryhill]

2. And Mitt Romney isn't.

How much pot can you buy with a Medicare voucher?

[Scuba]

3. This is dangerous. If Ryan can pull in some of the "disaffected left" we could all pay for ....

... the Obama administration's actions on pot.

9. If they become one-issue voters, then

we could all pay for their gullibility and short-sightedness.

13. I don't think anyone is naive enough to believe that the Romney-Ryan administration would be better

The Obama administration's position is that they are going to leave it up to the states. They've subsequently used federal authority to prosecute people that they claim are doing more than just selling for more than medicinal purposes. I think their claims may be dubious and fuck I don't agree with the war on drugs to begin with. But I seriously doubt that Mary Beth Buchanan or whatever other fucking lunatic Romney appoints to be Attorney General is going to take a more hands off approach than Eric Holder?

4. And does that make him a better candidate?

fuck no

[Webster Green]

5. Not to me it doesn't.

It may be the only thing I agree with him on.

[winstars]

6. Don't worry, he is probably lying about it. It will come out that he was a narc in high school. LOL

[RoccoR5955]

7. He's doing that to get the Ron Paulie Girls to vote for him

After all, that's the REAL reason they are for that nut job.

[DonCoquixote]

8. If anyone really thinks

That the industries vomiting money into GOP pacs will allow this to come within smelling distance of approval,I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. This is politics

[jsr]

11. What will it take to get you into this car today?

[Blue Idaho]

12. He's a states rights guy - he in favor of letting states decide

If they will be free states or slave states.
