Oh, and he is for legalizing drugs, so at least you and some of your socialist buddies will like that at least.

I want to see him stand up and say that during the primaries.

He's very adamant about legalizing hemp.



As far as drugs in general, it's not his main plank. So unless someone else brings it up to try to smear him with his constitutional views or something, he probably won't even bring it up.

Yes, I know, he's all about the Constitution and sticking to it. That piece of paper is something to be proud of and stick to no matter what. People that do that are just like people that claim the bible is the document of record. Being a zealot isn't a good thing when you're running for president.

You don't even know my views on taxation so nice try.

Obama's record is no less than Bush's. Period. Matter of fact, Bush's "record" was one of failure as governor. One of drug and alcohol abuse. So again, a "record" isn't the end all argument. Besides, with a record like Paul's, you should hope it doesn't mean much to begin with.

While I would prefer to legalize drugs, I know it can't work because people are morons and have an inherent NEED to be regulated.

I think 'inherent' is misused almost as much as 'literally'

some of the best presidents we've had lacked a very long political voting record.

I suppose...but really, I think legalizing drugs would be a great thing in theory...but human beings are complete and total idiots...and it would fail, causing more issues.

While I'm sure we disagree on those "best" Presidents, you're still correct. I wasn't claiming the contrary. I was merely saying that for donkey to call Ron Paul the "bandwagon vote" when he has a very clear record and people like him for that record is a retarded statement given the excitement over Obama who has no record.

So, because someone votes against a law pertaining to a certain sect of society, that means that person HATES that sect of society?
