Re: ron paul for 2008?!?!?
Keep in mind that pardon power won't get you guys all the way there. Corporations won't want to get involved in drug sales, including prescription drug sales, as long as the laws remain on the books.

Re: ron paul for 2008?!?!?
I'm not sure which of the many Ron Paul threads this belongs in, but Glenn Greenwald posted today about "outright smears and distortions" of Ron Paul.

Re: ron paul for 2008?!?!?
Would someone mind ninja-bumping all the active RP threads to the top of the list and taking a screen shot to show how many of them there are? I'd do it myself but I've been temp-banned before for doing that and lost a perfectly good gimmick account. Paging canis!

The president could call off the DEA from making busts couldn't he?
That's one of the things that is really retarded, California legalizing medical marijuana and the DEA coming in and shutting the shops down. |

Re: ron paul for 2008?!?!?
Wouldn't mass pardons basically make it a dead law? How would congress react to a president pardoning thousands of non-violent drug offenders?
My prediction is that if you released a million drug offenders, any crimes that they committed would be brought up in the media and congress might have significant public support for an impeachment. Remember the illegal alien that killed somebody driving drunk that orielly used as his whipping boy for awhile? |

Re: ron paul for 2008?!?!?
There's no active ron paul polls thread (what's up slackers) and I don't have any videos to link to, so I'll post this here.
There are some interesting results from the latest poll in NH, where RP is currently at 7%. First off only 16% of likely GOP voters are definately decided, 24% leaning and 60% trying to decide (significantly different than the 24/28/48 splits for likely dem voters). Clearly this is a point in favor of the underdogs allowing for larger changes in support numbers. Now RP's odd numbers. Extremely interested in primary/very interested/somewhat,notvery Rommney 32/33/30 Guiliani 18/22/22 McCain 16/16/19 Paul 13/2/8 Definately decided/leaning/undecided Romney 29/36/30 guliani 24/28/17 Mccain 24/14/16 Paul 17/8/4 Definately vote in primary/vote unless emergency/may vote Romney 33/32/11 Guliani 21/18/26 McCain 16/20/25 Paul 7/3/23 Paul is clearly getting more committed support in the first two questions, but when asked if they are actually going to vote he loses out all of a sudden. This could be due to the breakdowns of his supporters income <30,0000 18 30-60k 5 60-75k 6 75-100k 8 >100,000 6 Age 18-34 15 35-49 9 50-64 6 65+ 5 He's drawing on lower class and younger crowds, not traditionally strong voting blocks to say the least. Paul's brightest spots to me, Can bring needed change at 10% and candidate least likely to vote for- not even listed. |
