Rand Paul for President?

Looks like the tilt is starting to go in favor of Rand. I supported him and was proud to cast my vote for him last year and have never had any doubts as to his ability.

Yeah, you MUST be a Ron Paul supporter if you think HEROIN should be legalized.

The FACT is opium dens were full of people who had abandoned their jobs and family. Like a modern crack house.

I suppose you think crack should be legal, too.

And so what age should be legal to use? 15? 16? 18? 21?

So you will have to have laws to be enforced for age. No getting rid of the black market.

MILLIONS of people have died from drug abuse — I suppose that has only been because it’s been outlawed....And yes, a lot have died from Alchohol......That does NOT mean we need to legalize more drugs.

Just smoke your dope and leave politics to us who have not had our brain addled by drugs.

Ron should have gotten Rand to run and sat out the election. I would probably vote for Rand after he was vetted successfully. He can walk and chew gum at the same time, he’s a quick study and is a conservative reformer.

So riddle me this: WHERE, specifically, does the Constitution grant government the authority to ban ANYTHING, let alone drugs? Start by reading the Tenth Amendment and then search from there. Here’s a link to the best Constitution site around: http://www.constitution.org

Just FYI, I knew you’d probably resort to your ad hominems, and you didn’t disappoint. However, I have never in my life ingested any illicit substance for any reason. I don’t even use tobacco or alcohol anymore. So save your personal attacks for someone else. I’m not the one, stud muffin.
