Grassley isn't my favorite guy, but he's right that meth does get short shrift -- it's a lot worse than marijuana, and it's destroying a lot of lives in rural areas.
Grassley is trying to become John McCain.
I just watched him on CNBC talking about energy.
This guy is blaming Big Oil for the high prices instead of the SENATE!
These senators in both parties are the most incompentent idiots that have ever existed!
All part of the lib conspiracy...
Each lib is assigned some White House member to attack, to keep them on defense.
That way the lib's don't need a plan other than 'throw the rascals out'.
I want the drug czar fired, too, along with everyone else working for the failed war on some drugs. You can't even get ephidrine for CONGESTION at some places in my area now, and meanwhile, the criminals seem to be finding boatloads of it. That was an effective decongestent, and now at the very least you have to sign up for big brother's watchlist to get it.
Forget what you may think about Grassley or about taking potshots at White Houser officals. The rural areas of this country are the bedrock base of the Republican Party. to blithely ignore problems in the rural areas is just politically stupid. I think Bush himself has a tin ear to these problems. Despite his Texas upbringing, he's still too much Kennybucnkport for me.
Grasslee ought to be concerned. Why do we need to have a political primary in a state where there are so many meth smokers? Maybe the political lords who determine the order of the primaries are getting their meth from Iowa and THAT is the reason we have to go and genuflect there every 4 years.

So the more "pure" mj does what exactly? Kills people? Makes them use more? Some people are just so uninformed about basic science.
Thoughts?
I say get rid of the Drug Czar, and don't replace him. Could someone explain to me why in the hell we have a drug czar in the first place? Stupidity of government in my opinion.
The clueless criticizing the clueless. Funny stuff.
