SANTA FE, N.M. -- Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson today announced that he has received the official endorsement of legendary entertainer Willie Nelson and the National Teapot Party, which Nelson co-founded. The endorsement comes following a meeting between Johnson and Nelson last week, and marks the first presidential endorsement for the Teapot Party.
Upon hearing the news of the endorsement, Governor Johnson said, "I am truly gratified to have the endorsement of such a legendary entertainer and champion for individual rights as Willie Nelson.” Johnson continued, “Not only is Willie a superstar talent but, he is a strong advocate for social change, as seen through his tireless work on behalf of family owned farms and hard working Americans. People across this country are demanding the freedom and opportunity to pursue their dreams without interference from a heavy-handed government, and Willie and I stand together to lend our voices to those demands."

Willie is a brain dead leftist....
....love his music though...
Is this what they call ‘the silly season’? Sure seems like it.
One brain dead leftist supporting another.
The problem is that Gary's proposal includes taxing pot. This is un-workable. Instantly you create a new industry for untaxed pot and you have a new 'war'. No new taxes!
And people wonder why George Soros lends so much financial support to legalization.
Don’t you just love those single issue voters.
You mean 75% of freep posters? lol j/k but it does seem like that sometimes.
But, but...Cindy Crawford likes Romney...
Decisions, decisions.
Ole Willie has still got it, I think. He opened the new Backyard in my area the other night—and the crowd ran to at least a thousand faithful fans.......For those who don’t know, the Backyard is an Austin area outdoor performance venue, which hosts a lot of talented, well know entertainers, as well as many that aren’t so well known.
Teapot Party? I’m sure that is a misprint, it’s the Pot Party. Willie is a fool, but a very talented one. It’s only right, no one should have that talent and be smart too.
This announcement should make all here on F.R. give their immediate undieing support to Gary Johnson. (sarc)
yup
Marijuana use in the US is a victimless crime. Just ask that headless 13 year old in Mexico. Blow some more weed and forget about it.
....love his music though...
He and Merle Haggard are the only country music I can stand.
Personally, I think federal laws against drugs are unconstitutional because there is no such power granted the Federal government. State and local laws against drugs are another matter, and each community should be allowed to craft the laws it wants.
