It Walters agrees to a debate, I'll be looking carefully at the video clip for the monkeys flying out of his backside.

"If our nation's drug czar is finally ready for an honest debate about marijuana prohibition, I'm ready to meet him anywhere, anytime."

Is he sure that the drug czar said "marijuana prohibition", or "marijuana policy"?

There is a difference and it could be a big one.

'As reported in today's Seattle Weekly, Walters told the press conference, "the real issue is, should we legalize marijuana? Let's have a national debate about that."'

"the real issue is, should we legalize marijuana?"

Walters couldn't tell the truth if he wanted to.
The real issue is, should we re-legalize marijuana?

Too true.

You're right---he simply put his foot in it while trying to tie the Seattle measure's deprioritization to the more controversial relegalization. But the foot he put in it should be held to the fire anyway.

You know the dude in the chicken costume that keeps following Arnold around until he debates McClintock? Someone from the MPP should do that whenever Walters makes a public appearance.

I'd like to see a series of these debates with government officials. Along with getting this stupid WOD stopped, someone from the IRS needs to face Shulz or other tax reform leader regarding the legitimacy of the IRS. The same could be said for the NEA and other un-Constitutional federal agencies.

It's time to hold the entire Federal system's feet to the fire, and make them demonstrate where they derive their authority from. When held up in the light of the Constitution, these agencies would shrivel up and die from voter anger. They won't agree to this, but Id sure like to see it.

If the agencies themselves won't agree to opening up to the public, then we should be holding the executive branch responsible for its' subordinates. If GWB wants to truly reform the Federal leviathan (yeah, right), before the elections would be a good time to start.

... saturating the airwaves with commercials linking marijuana to teen pregnancy, date rape, and gun violence. ...

So they've given up on white wimmin dating colored jazz musicians?

Walters will run like a sissy. JBT's are basically cowards.

So, Mr. Kampia interprets Ashcroft's call for a "national debate" as a one-on-one televised public debate?

What's he smoking?

Right, no way are the JBTs serious about a real debate.

Walters, who has repeatedly avoided debates or joint appearances...

Ha!

A real debate?

This debate would be about as "real" as a debate between the NAACP and the Ku Klux Klan on civil rights issues.
