People actually still believe marijuana is a gateway drug?
Fighting marijuana in general, okay, kind of a backwards point of view considering its rising popularity but medical marijuana? That's just being evil.
Social conservatives are cretins.
Say bye-bye to the twelve youth voters you previously had on your side, Romney.
He's gonna fight it tooth and nail, beginning with one of the most basic of urges; [I]The urge, to get high[/I]
It's like he's running the opposite of a campaign.
Wow, he's a fucking idiot.
Jesus, Mitt, we already know you're a die-hard, jesus-freak conservative. [I]Telling[/I] us about it at every opportunity does not a campaign make. Do you wonder why most Republican candidates that make it this far in a race tend to get all vague and ambiguous about their platforms by this point? It's because the more go into the specifics of your platform, the more everyone realizes how shitty it is.
[QUOTE=Conscript;36931632]Social conservatives are cretins.[/QUOTE] That's not very nice. I'm a social conservative and I would legalize marijuana entirely.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;36931779]That's not very nice. I'm a social conservative and I would legalize marijuana entirely.[/QUOTE] Then you're breaking with it on this issue. A social conservative despises anything that's not the traditional culture, he's a social chauvinist with a fetish for old shit because it's old. It leads to all sorts of prejudices against the marginalized, like the gays, drug users, etc.
Well, there goes all the Libertarians in this campaign.Good job, Mitt. The more conservative and more libertarian voters both were tipsy with you, and you just lost one of those demographics.
It would seem to an outsider that he's doing everything he can to turn off as many voters as possible but the horrible thing is that there actually is a huge amount people who sincerely agree with him. EDIT: On second thought... how many do you think support Romney just because they don't want to see B'lack Hussein Obongo win?

There is no part of the definition for "social conservative" that says that you must resist change when it is logically necessary.
And then he got steamrolled by the Democrats during the elections; losing his teeth and nails in the process.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;36931872]I know what a fucking social conservative is, and I am a social conservative. There is no part of the definition for "social conservative" that says that you must resist change when it is logically necessary.[/QUOTE] There is no process for giving up traditions, let alone a 'logical' one. Your position on marijuana is left of center and progressive. That's just the way it is. If anything the conservatives are becoming more resistant to change. Prior to reagan, it wasn't unusual for a conservative to support national health care, for example.
As far as the political system of the US goes, yes. But that's not the entirety of the definition of the group.
Now watch as his youth vote steadily drops to only fundies
By now the only people who will be voting for Romney are people who somehow like him more than Obama.
[QUOTE=butters757;36931986]By now the only people who will be voting for Romney are people who somehow like him more than Obama.[/QUOTE] The "atleast he isn't Obama" vote has always been his biggest base. Lots of conservatives have a problem with him.
No porn, no weed, it's like romney doesn't want anyone to vote for him (we all know he hates women)
Honestly, i don't believe in "medicinal marijuana", and I can see why some people are still scared of the change. I believe it should be taxed, regulated like alcohol so we can study the active ingredients to create new medicine, and alternatives to pain pills. Smoking weed may work for some illnesses, but it also gets you high, and I don't think that any sort of long-term medicine should require you to get high in order to get your treatment. Not to mention the amount of people exaggerating minor ailments in order to get some weed.
Does this mean Romney is against breast milk?
"AND THE OLD AND NARROW MINDED SHALL INHERIT AMERICA"
i wonder how many homosexuals with bone cancer will vote for romney

If you don't want to get high there are strains with very very little THC. haha wait is Mitt using the Federal Government to justify this? Some Republican he is.
[QUOTE=Twipsters;36932250]Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most of, if not all medicines get you high in some way or the other?[/QUOTE] I've had relatively few medicines in my life, and I suppose you could argue that. But realistically speaking, taking anti-depressants or Tylenol is nothing like smoking weed.

Why the fuck would MEDICAL Cannabis bring people into the "drug culture"? I suppose MD prescribed Oxycodone would do even worse things then, right Mitt?

Maybe opiate painkillers, or benzodiazepine anxiolytics in particular, but when was the last time you got fucked up on heartburn meds?
