If I had a chance to ask the candidates questions, it would probably go something like this:

What about the war?
What about the economy?
What about the environment?
What about the jobs?
What about our national security?
What about nuclear proliferation?
Waht about our allies and foregin policy and the terrorits?
What about the budget deficit and the debt?
What about the cost of healthcare?
Waht about about the stem cells?
What about the borders?
What about the trade deficit?
What about the political corruption?
What about education?

Oh, yeah, almost forgot! What about the weed?
somewhere, that there are rational sane liberals, well almost.
Being a fanatic myself though I know the truth!

If you aren't careful they are going to ban you from being a democrat, at least here on this forum!
I don't agree with alot of your political views at all, but I really admire how you bring conversation and in a sane rational manner, it's always a breath of fresh air to read your posts! I question how in touch with REALITY our community appears to be to the outside observer?
Our base in this community seems to be made up of really far out extremists, I support this with the fact that they all seem to think they are majority and are shocked when they hear any other kind of political opinion on these forums. Like, "oh my god!" "he's part of the neocon nazi douchebag conspiracy to get me seeds that poison small furry creatures" That so far to date, have done zilch advocating politically for marijuana, and have in fact set it back. Extremist need to mature, and come check back in with reality, figure out how to accept and work with the more mainstream people that are obviously apart of this community and will advocate for marijuana on both sides of the popular political spectrum. Once everyone realizes that you need to participate within the system as opposed to it, then we will see real change. Until then a very few will work for that while an apparently large enough numbers of others in this community will continue to be turds, thus continuing to reinforce false stereo types and making others ashamed and less creditable, thus continuing the tradition of doing nothing! 60 years and counting!:thumbsup:
For everyone person that may be a positive example of advocacy, there are 10 that are piss poor examples, at least that has been my first hand experience personally.
I think that's apparent in these forums as well.
