By the way, George W. Bush is a liar:

Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush says he believes individual states should choose whether to ban the use of marijuana for medical purposes, but is stopping short of saying the District should enjoy that privilege. The Texas governor, who in recent weeks has distanced himself from several positions taken by conservative Republicans in Congress, said that when it came to congressional efforts to ban a medical marijuana law here, he was in Congress's corner.

Campaigning in Seattle on Saturday, Bush answered questions about medical marijuana laws by saying, "I believe each state can choose that decision as they so choose."

Has anyone asked him why he...flip-flopped?

I know he is a liar. I heard him swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

That sounds most reasonable. What is problematic is the courts' recent ruling barring such local flexibility.
