I'd rather have a President who understands the threat posed by Iran, and who'd be willing to take action if necessary to protect our security and our nation's interests abroad, as opposed to some joker who'd just rather sit down and hold hands with Ahmadinejad while singing Kumbaya together in unison.

McCain has an extensive economic revitalization plan that includes helping Americans deal with the rising cost of living, the housing crisis, lowering taxes for the middle class Americans, while at the same time strengthening our tax system, ending wasteful spending, and much more. If you don't believe me, you can take a closer look at his plans by visiting his website:

You know as well as I do that this statement was ripped entirely out of context and was tailor suited to fit the slander machine of the Democrats. He's not, however, looking to cut and run from Iraq with our collective tails between our legs, leaving billions of dollars in the shitter, and leaving millions of Iraqis to fend for themselves against an opposition that they clearly couldn't handle on their own. At least, not at this moment.

Please don't assume you know anything about me, my past, or my stance on medical marijuana. I'm a bigger advocate elsewhere, beyond the walls of Cannabis.com, and I'm a pretty damn big advocate here. I don't wake up in chronic pain everyday, but I have some specific reasons for needing to keep it around. My reasons center around the psychological, as opposed to the physical, benefits of the drug. Regardless, I understand the benefits of the drug on many different levels, and so does a large part of the American people.

Sadly, until more states show their willingness to adopt medical uses for the drug, I honestly feel that we'll see nothing in terms of advocacy on the Federal level. Ron Paul has some grandiose ideas, almost to the point of being considered fanatical - and I'm not just talking about hemp advocacy - but he doesn't stand an ice cube's chance in hell of being elected. The way things are looking right now, you'll have one of two choices: 1- Electing a war hero who actually understands war, understands foreign policy, and understands domestic issues, or 2- A pacifist with NO experience in any related matters, and a marked disdain for his own country.

Not really a tough decision, if you ask me.
