If you think that there are no serious conservatives outside the beltway who support legalization, then you obviously have your head up your posterior.

First, we can look to the former governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson, as one elected conservative who favored ending the “war on drugs.”

Tom Tancredo is another. Thomas Sowell has spoken out on the futility of the current course of action.

People who support the “war on drugs” are just statist thugs, posing as law-and-order conservatives. William F. Bennett, the preening, unctuous twit who froze the civilian machine gun population is one of the examples of a conservative talking out both sides of his mouth. What did NFA weapons have to do with drugs? Nothing. But Bennett needed to make it look like he was “doing something” as “Drug Czar” and so he did.

You have a singular talent for distilling the essence of the issue.

Tom Tancredo has already been dismissed as a has-been. Not credible. Rejected even in Colorado.

For you to insinuate Thomas Sowell is for legalizing drugs is a lie.

I see you are no SoCon as you slander Bill Bennet.

But the real laugh is your support for Gary Johnson. The same liberal Gary Johnson who voted for Barack Obama.

You are 0 for 4 on conservative comments. Go back to DU.
