| | CNN YouTube debates | | Here I got all excited about last nights debates thinking to myself " someone has to mention the War on Drugs, or Medical cannabis use...NOTHING!
But they can ask dumb questions like " Hilary, are you a liberal?" ...who gives a SHIT! And that black dude asking for a hand-out, what was that?
I guess most of the Democratic candidates will end federal raids on patients and caregivers, but nothing was said about the Drug War.
We can't expect the Republicans (except Ron Paul) to do anything about ending the war on drugs, the Dems are our only shot.
What do ya think? |

What do ya think? | They can't openly come out and say they will do anything to end the war on drugs. If they did that, it would be a political death sentence for them. Wait until one of the Dems are actually sitting in the White House and then ask about the War on Drugs. Doing so now, would either get no answer, or they would say they will have to form an exploratory committee to look into it. Either way it would not be an answer that you would want to hear. |

| | Not true..Mike Gravel came out and said and i quote..
"We are losing an entire generation of young men and women to our prisons. Our nation's ineffective and wasteful 'war on drugs' plays a major role in this. We must place a greater emphasis on rehabilitation and prevention. We must de-criminalize minor drug offenses and increase the availability and visibility of substance abuse treatment and prevention in our communities as well as in jails and prisons." Mike Gravel: End the War on Drugs | Gravel 2008

What do ya think? | Just as I suspected they would be, the youtube questions were carefully screened to make sure none of the candidates were accidentally asked a REAL hard hitting question...and the first question - " Where my reperations money at ? "....I am not sure who is worse, the idiot that asked that question, or the idiot that figured it was worthy of being put on national television.Watching Clinton stand up there and act like she's running for president for anything other than her own personal ego was sickening. And Obama sitting there trying to prove he is " black enough " for the job.. I mean come on.It was bad news all around. The saddest thing about it is that there are no Republicans strong enough to beat a Clinton/Obama or Clinton/Edwards ticket..God help us. |

| | heymo the only thing is, he don't stand a chance at winning even the Democratic nomination. Have you seen how low in the polls he is right now? So he's just in the race to fill it out. And also to keep that campaign money when he loses the nomination. |

| | I know Gravel, Kucinich, and Richardson would end it and they have mentioned that before, but I'm dissapointed in last nights questions. |

| | I hear ya. I was disappointed with the questions also. It would have been better if they had a group of people with differing views asking real political questions about what they would do in the White House. But that reminds me of a Q & A session MTV had with Clinton when he was running for president the first time. One question, "Do you still party and get wasted?" |

| | I watched the Glenn Beck show last night and he showed some of the questions that were edited out. It was unbelievable. Thanks to our government monopolized school systems, we live in a nation filled with idiots. Vi
