That isn't the GOP driving them away...that is the LP driving them away. I understand that. My point is if some of those turned off people end up in the GOP, therefore increasing the voice of the RLC Republicans, I think it's great.

Ah...I'm with you now. (Quick, more Columbian.)
I can't say that's a bad thing and the ones they are driving away are those who tend to be far less wrapped up with the single issue.

There is no credible evidence (as of this moment) that he used a substance illegally.So you are saying he obtained the substance legally? It's so much fun to go circular with you folks. LOL

tagline: (Hating Democrats doesn't make you a conservative) May I borrow that? Sure, with attribution on an annual basis. :^}
It's the second one that I have written that has been taken up by others.

'Deep in the Hurtigan Forest' was a stateside army medic who posed as being a highly decorated combat team leader serving overseas back in '98.
He and his toadies at FR had people sending care packages to deeps 'troops'.
There are a lot of very convincing phonies on the web, walter..

"Further more, I apologize to k2blader, kidd and other Freepers that I've insulted while attempting to make this implication"Your delusions run very deep. LOL
I only apologise for a wrong done. That didn't happen. Anyone who takes your positions insults themselves.
If you can state this, I'll drop it.
Why would I care if you drop it. It's fun watching the contortions.

Private programs only work where there is private interest...and that isn't universal. Yes, but at least only those that do think it is a problem will be paying for it, not people who don't beleive it's a problem...

You're in luck. There is a group that does all of that. Try the Constitution Party. To them, the drug issue is a states issue, not a federal issue. Thus there is little focus on drugs on the national platform. I like them too!!

Finally, why aren't bloviating blabbermouths like William Bennett publicly explaining how America would be better off if Limbaugh were prosecuted, locked in a steel cage and forced to abandon his wife, his friends, and his career? Exactly my thoughts yesterday when I heard ol' High-Rollin' Bill on Sean Hannity's radio show spewing the same tired old drug warrior crap about how dangerous MJ is. And absolutely no comments about El Rushbo's situation, of course.
With that said, I send best wishes to Rush for a speedy recovery. Unlike many Americans who do not share his fame and fortune, he probably won't have to serve jail time even if he is prosecuted. Hopefully this will be a step towards opening his eyes (and the ears of his 20 million listeners) to the dangers that the War on Drugs poses to lives and liberties of all Americans, not just "maggot-infested, dope smoking FM types".

It doesn't work that way because your problem can bleed over into my community and become my problem.
To: jmc813; landshark
Hmmm, thats right, -- I get confused because you know all the players here so well -- yet you've only been here for 18 months or so..
Maybe 'sharky' could jog your memory. Lets see if his persona can be recalled..

Let's see, libertarian: Give up on war on drugs, abortion on demand, homoxual nation, sex with children, everyone for himself. Hmm.. not a pretty sight. Glad our founding fathers, thought up a representative goverment and some founding principals or we would have been there long ago.

I once saw a debate at Pacific Lutheran University where a libertarian society was developed using a similar model as Plato's Republic.
As the society developed it got more and more difficult to sustain unless the participants went to ludicrous levels.
To: CWOJackson
The founding fathers were fine, in their time, but...they HAD no concept of 2003.I thought the 'living Constitution' crowd hung out at DU.
I guess Pubbie socialists have to land somewhere...have you tried countryclubnannies.com?

Naw, I value reality too much. You might try it sometime...and you might even be able to learn how to make the time stop flashing.
