Dave, we are already doomed!!!!!!! We have been doomed since William Randolph Hearst and Anslinger created this Reefer Madness Universe that has taken our liberties away. That is what we are trying to fix. I find your posts too ridiculous to take you seriously. I do not believe you actually care about America, or you would not criticize a serious freedom fighter for not being worthy enough to be President. You assume we are voting for Ron Paul because of one issue alone, and urge us to be mature and not throw away our vote on one issue alone, while at the same time posting that you have just "fucked this thread in it's sphincter." I say this out of love, Dave: Grownups are talking here, please go back to the children's table. Leave your weed on the counter. You can have it back when you grow up.Quote:

When we are allowed our freedom once again, we will be able to have the breathing room to love our country again and solve other critical problems.
It is absurd that you think Ron Paul is only on about Marijuana, but you are correct in assuming that Ron Paul is a one issue man. You are right indeed: he believes in serving the constitution so that it may serve us. And if you watch the debates, which I doubt you do, you will see that he destroys all comers like the cardboard cutouts they are. Plus, he is a doctor and he is rational and stable and sure of himself. I don't see these qualities in any other candidate except for Kucinich, a brilliant man, who unfortunately, is too short to be President of a modern, image conscious Unites States (I know, I have been short all of my life, and people do not take short men seriously)...but he is not too short to be V.P.:D We need smart, brilliant, honest people to lead us out of what we are in.
And as far as Bill Richardson goes: Nice guy...but he looks a little timid and afraid for the job. At the end of the day, I base my vote on:Ron and Dennis are the only two in the race that fit these requirements for me.
- What have you done?
- What are you doing?
- Are you acting up there, or are you walking the walk?
- When you talk about the American public, do you come across as though you were a member of the American public yourself, or as a conquering hero from without?
- Are you suspicious of your citizens, or do you trust us and want us to improve ourselves?
- Do you have confidence in what you stand for and in your ability to carry it out?
- Do you put in the work and truly care, or are you an actor up on that stage?
Watch the Tavis Smiley hosted Republican debate on Youtube, the one where none of the Media Republicans even showed up because they know they have no chance of pulling Americanized African voters. If you watch those debates and still believe Ron Paul is not qualified to lead America, then you, my friend, are not qualified to be an American, and I will kindly ask you to leave. There is the door.

Note** Ron Paul is Pro Life. he also opposses same sex adoption
Just stating the facts
- Ron Paul is a doctor who brings babies into the world. Of course he is Pro Life. That does not mean that he would overturn Roe V. Wade. While I am a liberal, I am beginning to be Pro-Life myself. I mean, I used to have a "Save Roe V. Wade" bumper sticker on my car...I would not appose abortions for rape victims, but if you are not responsible enough to pack birth control, then you better strap on that papoose daddy-o! You're a parent.
- Same sex adoptions...I would gladly let him slide on that 1999 vote if if all of the political prisoners of the drug war were released from prison. They can then be filled by accidental parents who would be taught how to raise the children they would have aborted...besides, he has voted NO on the banning of same-sex marriages.

The point is: he won't bust your door down because You want to get high! First and foremost, he wants to bring back the constitution, and a big part of that it the end the drug war and the patriot act. You know, I am not pro Opiate, but if you are into them and can keep from injuring me while you are high, I am not going to want to see you in prison for life!
- Ron Paul does not oppose the States and private citizens research of stem cells. He opposed the government forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for it.
- He is not a Republican...not that there is anything wrong with that. He is a Libertarian running on the Republican ticket.
I only just heard of Ron Paul 2 weeks ago when a friend preached his views to me over a few dozen beers. The issue he primarily touted about was the legalization of marijuana stance, so i refrained from taking him too seriously because there are many other issues in America today we need to be concerned with.
I just spent 3 hours reading documents and watching video clips of Ron Paul and his position on all issues of the candidacy. At this moment I am definetely voting for the man. Marijuana legalization is not the only issue that makes his views intriguing. I'm not one to ever get into political debates because in my experience they're about as useless as religious ones, but I pray that his messages are heard as mainstreamed as the top-runners.
The fact that the GOP and certain media branches try to cover his attention makes his messages all the more appealing and necessary to hear. It's possible that he's just saying what he thinks he needs to say to grab attention, but his history doesnt reflect that.
I hope that people understand that when he speaks of the Middle East attacking us because of our antagonistic ways, they realize that he is not putting that on the American people....Govt POLICY is the force that contributed to it. "Strong" republican candidates will spin that into Ron Paul's unpatriotic message.
The American people don't have to disagree with decisions Govt, or any branch of power makes, but we should always question it.
on the issue with Ron Paul being Pro-Life .... I myself am Pro Choice but am still voting for RP. I commend Ron Pauls stance on pro life simply because he is making his decision based his life experiences of being a Doctor. THAT I can respect....not these religious idiots running who make their choices based on their god
also, someone on here said ron only raised 2million last quarter....it was actually over 5
and I think we need some clarification....correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think RP is pro legalization only for medicinal purposes not for recreation.
also, if you all haven't seen the video of Mit Romney being asked a question about marijuana by a guy in a wheel chair who has MS I suggest you find it....it's one piece of a larger pie which shows what a moron he is.
and to the people that say wake up he'll never win - I'm sorry, I refuse to waste my vote and my breath on the lesser of two evils. I'm going to vote and support who I WANT. If I dont, then it defeats the purpose of freedom. I refuse to let who has the most campaign money and the most mainstream media attention sway my decision. We've been forced to make a decision based on what the higher powers view as who are the top candidates for far too long
I hope Ron Paul wins! I was eating at my favorite pizza place last night called Mellow Mushroom (wonderful pizza) and its kind of like a hippie place which is awesome! But anyways they have a vote for Ron Paul sign and so I thought I would just say that because I thought it was awesome.
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for LEGALIZATION! :thumbsup:
Sometimes, the beauty of what America could be shines through to me when I read other people's comments. It would be amazing. Wow, my eyes are actually watering. It's sad, the state it is in compared to what could have been. I will vote for Ron Paul, even if I am the only American to do so.
Are you joking? Hillary Clinton is one of the largest recipients of health care industry contributions. Who do you think is really behind all this pressure to close down co-ops and end medical marijuana? A president speaking to God? Fuck no, that's just what he is there for you to assume, it's what it's always about, money. The health care industry cannot have people growing their own medicine, it would cost them too much. With Clinton in their pocket, I will guarantee that medical marijuana raids will not end with her in office as president!Quote:

I would never vote for Ron Paul simply for his views on drug legalization, I feel there are far more important things going on than that to be a core reason for choosing one candidate over another, but the more I heard him talk the more I realized that as crazy as some of the things he says sound, really, it all makes perfect sense. The main reason he isn't so popular is because he is so different from what we are used to expect from a candidate, we have become so used to a cookie cutter image, that we have allowed ourselves to expect that in future candidates rather than be open to new thinking, which is exactly what we need right now!
I don't give a rats ass how far of a shot he has at becoming president, I'm still voting for him. Why would I vote for someone else that I don't really agree with, but simply because they are more popular? That's just stupid, and a waste of a vote. If you aren't going to put any thought into who you choose for president, maybe you shouldn't be voting to begin with.
What about Chris Dodd? He's for the decriminalization of marijuana and he also has a good energy plan, is for the quick withdrawal of troops form Iraq, and he is doing a lot to defend the constitution right now (something this current administration has absolutely no respect for). He doesn't get much face time like Hillary and Obama, but I'm sick and tired of the media picking our candidates for us. If you agree with his ideas, spread the word about him. I think he's a much better candidate than any of the DNC frontrunners; they are very unclear on issues.
