I'm not saying that all or any republicans agree with this guy but how the hell does he get elected as with insane ideas and logic like this?



So his logic is as follows. We need to completely stop illegal immigration because every drug deal has some point helped by illegal immigration. However he notes that even stopping illegal immigration won't stop drug dealing. Then he says, in effect, we need to test every...all the time for drugs. THEN he says, well we repealed alcohol prohibition because we couldn't handle the violence and that the detriment to society was not as bad as the violent crimes. However because there are lots of violent crimes with illegal drugs we need to ramp up enforcement. Huh?

how does any politician of any party get elected with this ass-backwards logic?

No, Republicans love regulations but just on things they think need regulations.
which is about 50% of everything, The Dem's have the other 50%.

This guy is part of the problem,
I mean Republicans are supposed to be for smaller government.
The party of personal responcibility.
This guy needs to be shuffled off to old neo-con land.

Maybe we can get him on Peter Griffins new show.
It would be perfect for him, Well I would enjoy it.

Republics aren't republicans/conservatives in the same sense anymore. They are all very moderate for the most part...

Sad to see, but it is the truth.

Rep. Steve King, like Arlen Spector, needs to be purged from the Republican Party.

As a real thinking conservative Republican I must say that I am ashamed to be in the same party as the above moron. Though some parts of his arguement are factual. Black market cross border drug distributors, gangesters, and the like are often undocumented Mexicans. The border gangs are scary, distablizing the counrty of Mexico etc.

But all that should be the arguement for legalization. Every conservative arguement against federal regulation, harmful government interference, unconstitutional laws, despotism, etc apply.

I wish Republicans would start using their own logic as regards the drug war.

I don't think this guy is inline with what I call the "new" republican party, hes one of the old guard that needs to go. It would be nice to see republicans get back to some of their core values.

I agree with everyone that has posted thus far, lol! Thats got to be a record for the politics forum!

His views on this on issue are that of a Neo-Con........period. Republican may be the little box his ass got elected under, but true conservatives would never concur with that guy's point of view. This is what so many people just don't seem to understand. Republican *inequals sign* conservative. The last several years of the Bush administration was hardly distinguishable from the Democrats, (except maybe national defense) and people like myself, who don't stray from their core values had as much a part in making sure that "more of the same" didn't get rewarded with 4 years in the White House.

Defining political parties is always an interesting subject. Anyone that thinks they own your body, your labor and your property scares me regardless of what they choose to call themselves. Political parties try to advance agendas through the force of government, trading the "right" to fuck you over every few years between them...

How did he get elected? Probably by appealing to his constituents emotional side...he's gonna clean up all those welfare cheats by making them take drug tests etc. He's not gonna let any scary drug dealing foreigners in to his apple pie America etc. Run for your life there's a terrorist under your bed etc. He's the same kind of dickhead that will talk freedom out of one side of his mouth while trying to mold you to what HE thinks you should be...."stand up and salute that flag NOW boy, this is America and we're free here!"

Since you had to ask, Republicans are mostly the old rich, redneck, paranoid schizo's, who want to control everything to work out to their benefit because they feel everything belongs to them. They're mostly a bunch of delusional human beings who have no real good idea's about how to fix problems logically, (unless the problem is them not getting richer) but they do know how to give alot of moral criticizm and be controlling from they're high seats. (like little, modern day, less powerful, hitlers running around).
