Marijuana Advocate to Run as Independent for KY Attorney General

"So 12% of Kentuckians are "pro-druggie freaks"?"

If the bong fits...

I'm not from Kentucky. Fine way to talk about your neighbors, though.

If any state has less than 12% freaks I'd sure like to see evidence of it. Some states are majority freak; where do you think Senator Hillary! came from, a normal state? That (12%) is a tremendous compliment to Kentucky and Kentuckians.

Some folks disagree about drug laws but each is entitled to an opinion on relative freakishness of drug advocates.

If voters support a drug-legalization/"decriminalization" freak, they earn my unflagging scorn and contempt.

Why? They are exercising their right to vote, nothing wrong with that. You or I may not like it, but I am not going to hate them for it.

[EBUCK]

These substances LAWS have absolutely no place in civilized society whatsoever. All they bring is misery, destruction, and death for those that fall under its spell and for the unfortunates who have to deal with them.

There, fixed it for you.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Then I should say, I pray for their ignorance.

So if someone voted for a communist or a Clinton you would pat them on the back and say "good job! you did your part for democracy! I don't like how you voted, and I think you're supporting someone who supports policies destructive to the state/country, but I won't disapprove of you because everyone should be able to say whatever they want (free speech) without anyone speaking out against them (also, you may note, free speech)."

Or is that a misreading of your sentiment?

[fieldmarshaldj]

I rest my case.

[EBUCK]

I rest my case.

You agree that the WOD laws have absolutely no place in civilized society whatsoever. All they bring is misery, destruction, and death for those that fall under its spell and for the unfortunates who have to deal with them??

[fieldmarshaldj]

Sure, peanut. Just as I'm sure you'll agree I can drive my late Grandpa's Buick Roadmaster straight up your ass. :-)

I certainly wouldn't pat them on the back and tell them "good job", but I'm not going to hate them for it.

Maybe it's the way I was raised, or the Christian in me, or a combination of both, but I don't hate somebody simply because of their political leanings. Not only would it go against my upbringing and my beliefs, but it would be playing right into the hands of the liberals who keep trying to divide the country up into various categories.

One more thing, I would rather see somebody exercise their right to vote, voting for a candidate I don't like, than to not vote at all. The people who take no interest in any election are worse than people voting for a candidate I don't like. I will admit that I'm unhappy with some of the candidates I voted for in 2000 and 2002 and it did cross my mind not to vote at all, but that's not right, I'll either vote for them or vote against them.

"And, no, I do NOT use alcohol, if that indeed is your next question."

They're so predictable, eh?

[Impy]

Too bad that Feeney? Guy didn't win the primary.

This is what happens when no one pays any attention to these downballot races, like the 02 MO audior's race when that convict won the GOP primary.

[Impy]

"The people who take no interest in any election are worse than people voting for a candidate I don't like"

I strongly disagree. It is better if they don't contribute to the election of rats. At least then they are not harming others.

[Eagle Eye]

With all the pro-druggie freaks supporting Galbraith

Are you capable of distinguishing between those who oppose the current War on Drugs and those who advocate the recreational use of drugs?

[Impy]

Get some help, think of your family.

[MrLeRoy]

All they [illegal drugs] bring is misery, destruction, and death for those that fall under its spell and for the unfortunates who have to deal with them.

This is less true of marijuana than of the legal drug alcohol; do you support banning alcohol?

[JohnnyZ]

I certainly wouldn't pat them on the back and tell them "good job", but I'm not going to hate them for it.

I don't think anyone but you said anything about hating anybody; certainly nothing along the lines of the Christian sense, which means hoping they burn. That's what's known as a "Straw Man" argument.

[eyespysomething]

No no no. Everyone who opposes the WOD is a dope smoking druggie loserdopian, don't ya know.

It would never be because it is a big waste of money and resources which could be fighting terrorism (or cut from gov't altogether), it violates the search and seizure protection given to us by the Constitution, and it assumes people are too stupid to make responsible decisions for themselves.

Public education anyone?

[skinkinthegrass]

Isn't marijuana the largest cash crop in KY?...Beats me. I thought their biggest cash crops were tobacco, horses, and moonshine.

Tobacco, IS the legal cash crop...It's a BIG item for the Druggie/Nazi/Queens in the Media (the legalization/growth of the Weed for Eastern KY, traditional rope-growing areas)...there is too much open country in the Bluegrass Region.

If voters support a drug-legalization/"decriminalization" freak, they earn my unflagging scorn and contempt.

Would you support prohibiting alcohol again?

You'll note I don't oppose his entry into the race, since these characters take votes from 'Rats. The more the merrier.

Why do so many Republicans bitch and moan about Libertarians (who are known for their anti-Drug War philosiphies) taking votes away from Repubs?

If you lived in Maryland, would you vote for a Democrat over Governor Robet Ehrlich?
