Ron Paul promises to pardon all non-violent drug offenders if he is elected

Discussion in 'Marijuana Legalization' started by deuteros, Jan 13, 2008.

  1. He took 2nd in Nevada! Paul has more of a chance than the media would like you to think! Spread the word about him to everyone you can and donate!
     
  2. To be honest...this is the first ellection where idc who wins. :smoking:
     
  3. I'm not going to tell you what to think nor am I trying to push my views, but you really should care who is running your country.

    It's not just the marijuana laws that makes this guy the person to elect, hell I'm from Canada, but I do believe it will affect me greatly to get the DEA out of my county, and not let big government influence the decisions my county makes.

    If you guys don't want him there I'm sure there are many Canadians that will take him over the bafoons running our country.

    Ron Paul for Prime Minister LOL
     
  4. i'm waiting for one to care about
     
  5. Ron paul is absolutly amazing.
     
  6. SO no more probation!!! HELL YEA!
     
  7. oo my jesus ron paul might win i just seen the chart he kills everyone else

  8. As much as I'd love to see marijuana be made legal, I don't see any candidate running under the Republican party winning the election. Just because of such a disasterous previous Republican sitting in office.
     

  9. Hopefully most Americans aren't blinded by party titles and actually listen to the message... If it comes down to Ron Paul and Hillary/Obama, the voice of reason cannot be ignored. Hillary and Obama are more of the same, except with more spending... Like we need that right now...
     
  10. The republicans are headed for a brokered convention for the first time in a LONG time.

    This means the delegates will choose the nominee, not the convention heads themselves. Now what does this mean to Ron Paul?

    As shown in Louisiana and many other states, Ron Paul has the most delegates going for him. As long as he recieves the minimal amount to be considered for nomination he will be included in the convention. With the majority of delegates supporting Ron Paul, plus those from Thompson, one from Guiliani, one from hunter, and those from Huckabee when he drops. We can help convert them as much as possible to gain more ground.

    While he may not be the most popular or recieve the most time, where it really counts delegates wise at the convention, we still have one hell of a chance.

    Become a delegate in your state!
     
  11. Hopefully he gets elected.
     
  12. Is the house speaker Boner in the mix? Ive been reading a little on the debt talks... and he seems to be up to something. I feel his only major stink in this debt thing is that he wants to be back here next year fighting the same fight. And hopefully pulling energy away from Obama's obvious election battle. He seems more and more like he wants to be the GOP center of attention, pulling everyone out of the chaos that he created in the past few weeks.
     
  13. What does he consider a non violent drug offender, how many times in prison are they allowed before this pardon deal is off the table? We all want more details, and for once everyone should care about the election. We should support this man in his endeavor to fix our decimated nation.
     
  14. Another reason for why he should be president. I really hope he doesn't get killed hes like the reincarnation of JFK.

    Well both parties are Americans and it has taken a rep and a dem about 12 years to bring America to it's knees both financially and by taking basic freedoms we should have as humans. When it really comes down to it no man has the authority to tell another what to do. That's what Ron Paul stand for is your human right to be free
     
  16. ron pauls views on public assistance and health care are archaic and dangerous. if he was elected before the end of the 4 years is up people in poverty stricken areas will be living like an episode of lost. his views on drug use are very realistic, but that is no reason to let someone run a country.

    and i get what your saying about being blinded by party titles, but when the last 4 presidents you produced include george w, ron reagan, and richard nixon.....i mean thats hard to ignore.
