As this is the first election I have voted in, I have struggled greatly with whom to vote for.

I voted Libertarian the first time I voted for President, way back in 1980. They are never a bad choice, but I lean more Green these days. However, I'd vote for a Republocrat who came out strongly for at least some substantial mj law reform.

Hi, Toker, I checked out the Liberatarian homepage. I live in PA and I noticed it said that it is one of the 9 states where petitioning is currently underway to get the Lib Party on the ballot. I was confused because it also said that currently, 67 Libs hold public office in PA. Does that mean that the Lib party is not on the ballot yet for Presidential office? But on the ballot for state government? I honestly have never heard of Michael Badnarik until today. Isn't voting for him a little dangerous? Considering that it will take my vote away from Kerry and possibly giving Bush the lead? Lay it on me, Toker.

It's a sad fact but if you vote for any party member other than *dem* or *repub* you are wasting your vote. I don't like it but it's the truth. The majority of this country consists of the "moral majority" which we all know is mostly made up of republicans. Then you have the other big chunk that's made up of free thinking old school hippies, gays and lesbians, and then the minorities. And most of these are Democrats. I don't like kerry or bush and I'm at a loss this year trying to decide who to vote for. But people tend to vote for whatever party they belong. No matter if the candidate is a skum bag. Who knows if that will change. Maybe if more people registered independant or libertarian. But the sad reality is that they don't. You have to realistically look at the the candidate that the american media is putting out there. In this case it's kerry and then forget the rest at this point. And decide somehow which one between kerry and bush is less ignorant. I'm stumped there. As for marijuana reform I know we can all hope that one day it's legal. But it will NEVER be legal. Simply because the system makes too much money from drug arrests each year. Then if it were legal it would be taxed. And you wouldn't be allowed to grow it. There would still be a fine for growing. Marijuana reform is not a big issue this year. I'm more worried about our economy and what someone is going to do with the war. I hate to see non violent drug offenders going to jail and it sickens me that I have to hide from the law to smoke weed. But it's been that way forever. No candidate that is running in the number one slot for the presidents place is going to try to change drug policy. It will cost them too many votes. And they know that. The other parties do it to take votes from the number one running mate. It's a system. They all know how it works. But I don't think any of them care about drug policy reform.

Nader would be President.

I think the word if is too big a word. It would mean gambling my vote. I know if it were my money I wouldn't bet it on Nader...not yet, anyway. I'm still undecided. I was all for Kerry a month ago, but I am considering Nader now, and absolutely not Bush.

[nancyrenee]

Nader doesn't have a chance to win. I would have loved for Nader to be the number one running mate against the president. But now it's just up to kerry or bush.

Slavery ended.
Women won the right to vote.
The Berlin Wall came down.

Only a few years before each of these events,
a majority of folks probably thought it would never happen.

If George Washington had ever been asked if the Indian Hemp he so prized would ever be illegal, I'm sure he would have said it would never happen.

It hasn't been illegal forever.
Blacks and women were property for a lot longer.
But abolitionists and suffragettes didn't give up.

Marijuana prohibition in the U.S. is like communism in China -
It's the last stand and it's dug in good,
but the trend is against it, and eventually it will fall.

Yes, Sense, you're right...I am registered as Independent...I guess way back when I registered to vote I did that for a reason, and you just reminded me of why. OK, I'll check out more about Nader.
