365 x 30 days late and billion of dollars short.

Go back to sleep, Rip Van Winkle.

He might do well in this caucus state...which does not limit participants by party.

He appears to have money and considerable organization.

He might last until the convention.

I sure hope that dope-pushing crackpot runs 3rd party. He can pull from the Obama constituents of dope dopes, Occupy parasites, traitor supporters, code pinkos and other anti-defense types, and miscellaneous whackos.

Want to end the war on drugs? Control the border so the drugs and illegals can’t come in and that will solve the problem.

Allow me to introduce myself.

Having said that, I will be voting for the Republican nominee in the general or not voting at all, depending upon the nominee. Can't say what I will do in the primary, but this is a tiny corrupt State that has a late primary, so it doesn't matter anyway.

Regards,

That’ll just raise the cost of illegal drugs, making the trade more profitable. It’ll also increase the level of violence and risk in the game.

So according to Paul some loser should have the right to decide to use drugs get behind the wheel of a vehicle and kill my grand daughter in an “accident” Or maybe do a little crack before he performs granddads heart surgery.. Paul can KMA.....

Big surprise, there are more than 1,000 potheads living within walking distance of where he gave his speach. Poor turnout at best and keep in mind potheads generally don’t vote anyway.

The war on drugs and the war on poverty are 2 examples of democrat wars....both are useless and suck up lots of money. Both are losers.....
