There’s a part of me wanting to smoke dope a lot. Then there’s the old retired fixed income part, that realizes the tacos, Cheetos, rolaids would bankrupt me. So I guess voting for Crazy Uncle Joe is a non issue.

How much is Joe paying Hunter Biden for expertise, especially on a subject that Hunter appears to be an expert on?

Yeah, the wife and I would to burn a fatty now and then. Helps her to sleep. But we couldn't afford the pizza. There's a pizzeria two minutes from me and the guy makes a great pie. He couldn't keep up with me.

Yeah, and he won't push to legalize gay marriage, either! Why, to even SUGGEST a Democrat presidential candidate WANTS gay marriage is a "right wing smear"!

Yeah, and Obama pledged in church, before the election, that marriage was between a man and a woman. Democrats always lie and they know they can do this because the corrupt MSM will cover for them. They will “grow” in office.
Pfffft...

That alone will lose him votes. Many Intractable Pain Patients and PSTD use MMJ, along with some Epilepsy patients.

85% of the country doesn’t smoke potDoesn't mean they support giving violent criminals a monopoly on the pot market, thus giving them more means and motive for violence.
