Palin inhaled, but still wants to jail you for inhaling

"Palin has said she doesnâ??t support legalizing the drug, fearing the message it would send to her five children."

And that message would be what, â??Donâ??t smoke marijuana kids, you might grow up to be mayor, governor, and a vice-presidential candidate some day?â?� Considering the unplanned pregnancy of the unmarried teenage daughter of the Alaska governor who would outlaw all abortions, even in cases of rape, incest, or the motherâ??s health in danger, this Alaska governor who would mandate abstinence-only sexual education for your kids needs to work on her own messaging to her kids before she casts aspersions on the message of legalized marijuana.

Sarah Palin had the good fortune to be in Alaska, where personal marijuana use is a privacy right under the state constitution. She didnâ??t face arrest for her personal use in her youth. Had she been arrested, sheâ??d have a criminal drug conviction on her record. That would have made it much more difficult for her to become mayor or governor - instead of VP nominee Palin, sheâ??d be PTA Hockey Mom Palin still scratching out a living as a small-town Alaskan sportscaster.

Donâ??t think Iâ??m giving the Democrats a pass on this, either. If Barack Obama had been arrested for his personal use of marijuana (and cocaine) in his youth, instead of the first African-American presidential nominee, heâ??d be Barry the Janitor.

So you're saying that people can't try marijuana in their youth and believe it's bad when they're an adult? Maybe her experience wasn't so good with it.

I want legalization for cannabis but I don't think this makes her a hypocrite.

If sticking by your beliefs, even in times where things don't go as you planned or wanted, makes you hypocrite then I guess she is. :hippy:

What I fear is that McCain Dies and Palin becomes Preisident....Her Views on a lot of things are far too Right.....Think about it,One thing we all want is a Government That Functions!!! If McCain/Palin is Prez then the Dems will go into "Disable Mode" in other words Nothing Will Get Done!

If Obama Wins The GOP will do the same,
The problem is that all of this country has become so Partisan/Divided along "Party" lines that nothing is getting Done!!!!!

I pay these people to get something done....WELL FRICKIN DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN BASH THE OTHER SIDE!!!!!

is this such a bad thing? the less they do, the less they can screw up and the less of our freedoms can be taken away in the process. the worst case scenario is that obama is elected along with an overwhelmingly democrat congress. there would be nothing to hinder these idiots from enacting an almost immediate amnesty for illegals, raising our taxes through the roof and forming any number of panels and bureaucratic committees to discuss how best to waste the taxpayers' money on more of their ill conceived handouts. a balance may slow change, but it is needed to keep the nutcases from any one party from taking over the whole damn asylum and driving us all insane.

You realize that congress itself hasn't done crap in the last 3 years or so? It's democratic majority with approval ratings lower than Bush. Instead of blaming a party just because it starts with an R why don't you look at the situation for what it is.

Politicians on both sides are screwing us over.

I think she's hypocrite. SHe's tried smoking, maybe she didn't like it but that doesn't give her the right to tell someone else that they can't smoke. That makes you a hypocrite.
