John McCain

McCain drug policy so far...it will only get worse if he is elected.

Mexico should extradite drug dealers to the US

McCain lauded the Mexican president's cooperation with America in drug prosecutions. "He's a good man," McCain said of Felipe Calderon. "For the first time in history he extradited drug dealers to the U.S." Source: Campaign website, John McCain 2008 - John McCain for President, "News: Mexico" Mar 19, 2007

McCain: "This administration is AWOL on the war on drugs"

Of the four major candidates, McCain has expressed the most hawkish positions on drug policy. He wants to increase penalties for selling drugs, supports the death penalty for drug kingpins, favors tightening security to stop the flow of drugs into the country, and wants to restrict availability of methadone for heroin addicts. He said the Clinton administration was â??AWOL on the war on drugsâ?� and he would push for more money and military assistance to drug-supplying nations such as Colombia. Source: Boston Globe, p. A21 Mar 5, 2000


Q: How do you reconcile the tolerance for alcohol with the intolerance for marijuana?
A: I canâ??t support the legalization of marijuana. Scientific evidence indicates that the moment that it enters your body, one, it does damage, and second, it can become addictive. It is a gateway drug. There is a problem in American with alcohol abuse, and thereâ??s no doubt about that. We have to do whatever we can to - prevention, education, and that applies to drugs too. Source: Republican Debate at Dartmouth College Oct 29, 1999

Oh wow he thinks its an additive gateway drug. LMAO what a loser!



Weâ??re losing drug war - just say no

Weâ??re losing the war on drugs. We ought to say, â??Itâ??s not a war anymore,â?� or we really ought to go after it. And there was a time in our history when we werenâ??t always losing the war on drugs. It was when Nancy Reagan had a very simple program called â??Just Say No.â?� And young Americans were reducing the usage of drugs in America. Source: Republican Debate at Dartmouth College Oct 29, 1999


Restrict methadone treatment programs

McCain introduced the â??Addiction Free Treatment Actâ?� (S.423), which prohibits the use of funds for any drug treatment or rehabilitation program that uses methadone or other heroin detoxification agents unless the program follows specified guidelines, including that the program has as its primary objective the elimination of drug addiction and that it conducts random and frequent comprehensive drug testing for all narcotics. Source: Senate statements S.423 Feb 11, 1999

Stricter penalties; stricter enforcement

• McCain supports the following principles concerning illegal drugs:
• Increase penalties for selling illegal drugs
• Impose mandatory jail sentences for selling illegal drugs
• Impose capital punishment for convicted international drug traffickers
• Strengthen current laws dealing with non-controlled substances, including inhalants and commercially available pills
• Increase funding for border security to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the US

So if I clap my hands and chant "yes we can" then I suppose that is going to change everything. Even if it were true, which it's not, I would still not vote for a liberal dem like Billary or Osama. I think there are some more important things in life, and more things that actually really impact more people such as the war and economy. Granted I doubt anyone here supports McCains position on marijuana, but I am not gonna make that a reason to vote against him in favor of a socialist pig like Billary or Osama Hussein? Give me a break! What good is it having either one of those shiny turds in office because they are less vocal about the fact that they have no intrest in doing the only thing that would matter, reschedueling marijuana, then decriminalizing it on the federal level. All the while moving this nation backwards!!! No thank you I will take John any day!

i think mccain may be a very good choice for president. even if he dont beleive in cannibis. thats one of the few things i really dont like about him. hes is the only repub.canadate that dont scare the shit outa me.

there is a proble in this country that is much bigger than the economy, the war, drugs, or immigration all rolled together and that is division. right now if your a dem you are automatically labeled left wing nd if you are a repub then you are label right wing. this is the furthest thing from the truth. it has gotten to the point that our govt has quit using common sense (if they ever had any). nancy pelosi said that she would vote no on all legislation intrduced by the bush admin no matter what. this is fundamently wrong on so any levels. its a rift hat is tearing this country apart.

what pisses off the conseratives is the fact that mccain is willing to reach across this divide and do what should be done and that is compramise. i honestly beleive that mccain could be ale to re-unite the country. he hold not be concerned with fixing his party but the more important job of fixing his country. when it comes to keeping the country together or the party well i say screw the party. mccain just goes to show there is a creature among us noone wants to beleive exists and that is a liberal republican, there are also conservative demacrats.

what scares me about mccain is the thought of him now trying to kiss ass to the conseratives and will he change his veiws in such a way as to make them happy and not stick to his "liberal guns".

his division in our country is the reason that i, even tho i am a liberal, cannot support a liberal cannidate.

remember "united we stand, divided we fall"

I agree with ya that he's most likely to negotiate with Congress and Senate but his stance on earmarks will probably raise some hell. IF he was to hold to his guns and name the people slipping in this type of crap, it should prove interesting.

I can't wait to see the first debates between him and the Dems candidate.....that should be VERY interesting!

Have a good one!:s4:

The very same paragraph that you wrote could also be used for Obama...





Just so everyone is clear that ALL of these politicians are lying scum.

I'm pretty sure on the application to become a politician it says: "Are you ready to forfeit your beliefs and do whatever it takes to win an election, even if it means lying until your blue in the face?"

[/sarcasm]

God, politicians these days make me sick. Aside from RP of course.

Regarding all these candidates of "hope" and all of the educated and young people are for him,

If your not a liberal when your young you have no heart

If your not a conservative when your older you have no brain.

All that glitters is not gold people.

You can't put glitter on a turd and call it a diamond. It's still gonna have a stink.

I'm real sorry, but it is so difficult to follow someones political ideology, when they spell it out in pink crayon.

Im sorry you feel that way. But pink font has been my thing here for quite some time. If you don't like it, don't read it. :thumbsup:


Maybe you should focus on what I say and not how I say it.

Actually, that's even more difficult.
Quite frankly...I'm color blind and skip most of your posts, anyways.

You made me have a siezure rebgirl!!! Just kidding,
c'mon Rusty be nice! Like me, my rep says, "I am just really nice!" I enjoy reading both your posts!:thumbsup:

[rebgirl420]

Exactly, its no big deal.

And i'm sorry if you are indeed really color blind. And i'm also sorry if you choose to skip my posts.

Hope theres no hard feelings. Especially because I enjoy reading your posts. Your political stances are pretty much the same as mine.

(That posts for you )

Didn't mean to sound crass, but yes, was poking fun.

More going bind, than color blind. Have had these glasses for 3 years now. I really do have to highlight different colored posts, tho. If no contrast it all looks white. Makes it a bitch when determining trichome maturity.
I just like to challenge either sides extreme once in a while, but yes...I will always lean a bit right.
Ya don't see too many right wingers in these forums, so I take the opportunities whenever they may arise. Keeps me on my toes intellectually. Please don't take offense.
