marshmallow man newt » Newt Gingrich: Mr. New World Order Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
newt is an inconvenience that this county could do without this is political suicide. better than half of america think MMJ at least should be legal, and a rising number are starting to see the drug war for what it is. he is appealing directly to the over 60... make that 70 crowd here, and while they vote in high numbers they usually vote for democrats. i can't imagine what his handlers were thinking
All of the candidates scare me, except Ron Paul. Imo the country is just going to continue getting scarier if he is not elected.
lol your joking right? during the 1950's disparity between the rich and poor was much less, now a days 0.5% of the population controls %38 of the wealth, in the 50's they only had %8. What we live through today is NOT true free market ideals (i disagree with a totally free market i believe in government setting the environmental standards and protecting the minimum wage so people can actually support themselves), it is corporatism, the banks/corporations buy the politicians and make the laws/rules, as well as they should be investing into renewable sources of energy, an arce of hemp will make enough biodiesel to heat your house, run your car, and still have lots left over, as an example, or wind/solar energy. Support Ron Paul, hes THE ONLY politician running right now that when you look at his voting history in congress has stuck to his beliefs and morales and has been preaching the same thing for like 30 years. Hes also the only person up there with a real education seeing as he is a Doctor and not really a Republican but a libertarian, i disagree with a lot of his points but compared to all other candidates he will actually help the states and its people out of a recession/crisis.
never believe anything on fox news!!!!!!!! Its a pure propaganda machine for the right wing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck is with the GOP and getting a new pet candidate every 2 weeks. Do people really change their mind that often?
Newt is psychotic. Newt Gingrich on drug laws, entitlements and campaigning: The Yahoo News interview | The Ticket - Yahoo! News Three Republican presidential candidates have shown an openness to handing over control of drugs and medical marijuana to the states. Would you continue the current federal policy making marijuana illegal in all cases or give the states more control? I would continue current federal policy, largely because of the confusing signal that steps towards legalization sends to harder drugs. I think the California experience is that medical marijuana becomes a joke. It becomes marijuana for any use. You find local doctors who will prescribe it for anybody that walks in. Why shouldn't the states have control over this? Why should this be a federal issue? Because I think you guarantee that people will cross state lines if it becomes a state-by-state exemption. I don't have a comprehensive view. My general belief is that we ought to be much more aggressive about drug policy. And that we should recognize that the Mexican cartels are funded by Americans. Expand on what you mean by "aggressive." In my mind it means having steeper economic penalties and it means having a willingness to do more drug testing. In 1996, you introduced a bill that would have given the death penalty to drug smugglers. Do you still stand by that? I think if you are, for example, the leader of a cartel, sure. Look at the level of violence they've done to society. You can either be in the Ron Paul tradition and say there's nothing wrong with heroin and cocaine or you can be in the tradition that says, 'These kind of addictive drugs are terrible, they deprive you of full citizenship and they lead you to a dependency which is antithetical to being an American.' If you're serious about the latter view, then we need to think through a strategy that makes it radically less likely that we're going to have drugs in this country. Places like Singapore have been the most successful at doing that. They've been very draconian. And they have communicated with great intention that they intend to stop drugs from coming into their country. In 1981, you introduced a bill that would allow marijuana to be used for medical purposes. What has changed? What has changed was the number of parents I met with who said they did not want their children to get the signal from the government that it was acceptable behavior and that they were prepared to say as a matter of value that it was better to send a clear signal on no drug use at the risk of inconveniencing some people, than it was to be compassionate toward a small group at the risk of telling a much larger group that it was okay to use the drug. It's a change of information. Within a year of my original support of that bill I withdrew it. Ron Paul and Barney Frank have introduced a similar bill almost every year since. You have to admit, Ron Paul has a coherent position. It's not mine, but it's internally logical. Speaking of Ron Paul, at the last debate, he said that the war on drugs has been an utter failure. We've spent billions of dollars since President Nixon and we still have rising levels of drug use. Should we continue down the same path given the amount of money we've spent? How can we reform our approach? I think that we need to consider taking more explicit steps to make it expensive to be a drug user. It could be through testing before you get any kind of federal aid. Unemployment compensation, food stamps, you name it. It has always struck me that if you're serious about trying to stop drug use, then you need to find a way to have a fairly easy approach to it and you need to find a way to be pretty aggressive about insisting--I don't think actually locking up users is a very good thing. I think finding ways to sanction them and to give them medical help and to get them to detox is a more logical long-term policy. Sometime in the next year we'll have a comprehensive proposal on drugs and it will be designed to say that we want to minimize drug use in America and we're very serious about it.
They are hoping some of the shit they throw at the wall sticks. Otherwise, say hello to GOP nominee Ron Paul.
Imo they are going to let them all implode, and probably do some sort of hatchet job on RP, and then at the last minute trot out Mitt....
