Is it just me?

Or are presidential elections starting to seem like a choice between a giant touche and a turd-sandwich?

Bush was a fuck-up. Al Gore is retarded. Kerry couldn't make a single fucking decision and stick with it. Hilary is satan. Obama would get assassinated for being black. McCain is another Bush waiting to happen.

We can't win.

It's not just you.

We need to END this Electoral College BULLSHIT and instate a POPULAR VOTE! We don't stand a chance in hell of ever getting an Independent who supports decriminalization of marijuana without a popular vote system.

Sure the Libertarian Party is growing... but OHHHH SO SLOWLY... and they are no where near close to competing with the Big 2.

You potheads might as well wake up. No-one in the presidential race is going to legalize pot. Ron Paul said he would consider it but after all the opposition from congress would roll in, he'd have to capitulate. The US has treaties all over the world banning Marijuana cultivation, sales and consumption. What do you think would happen if they suddenly legalized it? Billions of dollars would be lost, Law enforcement would be paralyzed. It's a no Brainer. the best you can hope for is Medical and maybe local decriminalization, but legalization, not likely.

How would billions be lost? Because a banned substance is now grown legally and sold and taxed where it can be? That makes no sense. If pot was legalized, so would hemp. Not only would the government make billions off pot alone but they would make trillions JUST from hemp and the research that needs to be put into it.

It is true our country pushed for it to be banned in other countries. just another example of our being the bully on the block.

Well thank you Dave. It's weird arguing with potheads as you well might know, but this is the best political site I've found. I must thank all of you for putting up with me. I realize I can be a little abrasive at times. Politics and common sense are strange bedfellows. What I see as straightforward common sense, others see as something else. If anything, this site has taught me some humility and tolerance of others thoughts, of course there are exceptions. When someone comes from a place I feel (Think) is condescending, then it's a different animal..... Being constantly refered to as a stinkling Commie really doesn't do much for cordiality.

Ya think?

And I never, ever, referred to you as a "stinking" commie. Just an ordinary commie.

I agree. Hillary and Obama are not electable. First of all ... the two are tearing the Democrat Party to bits right now. Secondly ... whom ever is the Democrat nominee will be facing an onslaught of SERIOUS questions from the Republican side. Neither one will be able to stand up to it. Once the campaigning for the election starts ... there will be no more softballs.
