Just a few things I can think of at the moment.....

BTW, even though Ron Paul would disband the DEA and federal drug laws, the individual states would decide the criminality of certain substances. So, if you happen to live in the Bible Belt or Utah don't bring your bongs out of hiding any time soon.
if you actually believe this man is going to be president then you really are lost
Mike Gravel also wants to legalize marijuana...I think people that frequent this forum would agree with his policies moreso than Paul's, but this is just a guess. He has an equally horrible chance of becoming president though, which is unfortunate.
Paul's chances are way better than Gravel's. He raised 2.5 million dollars last quarter. That is 4th or 3rd for the Republicans. Just a few days ago he raised 75K in one day. That is a record for his campaign and it happened recently.
yeah, after hearing so much about ron paul, i looked more into him and his views, i'll vote for him... i hope he wins and stays true
My bad, I was unaware Mike Gravel was for legalization when I made this thread. After researching Gravel I think he would make a great president, but Ron Paul would bring about more positive changes.
This is not really directed to King of The World, but to everybody who, in frustration, can only see fit to put out one liners of doom when anybody gets excited about change.Quote:

Even if the good doctor's chances are slim, his supporters are the people that raise the level of debate among the citizenry. Shitting on activists is worse, in my view, than being a rotten, pocket-lining politician. At least they have a reason ($$$) for their actions or lack thereof. If you don't believe miracles can happen, do a Google search for Senator Jeff Smith, or watch the documentary about him. You will see that sometimes grassroots efforts succeed...certainly more often than doing nothing.:D
