Just sayin’.
Not that I got to attend; my wife hates the smell of marijuana, and I look like a narc anyway so nobody will ever share with me.
Based on the opinion polling, it is utterly uncontroversial to say that legalization of pot is more popular than fringe right-wing economics.
After Iowa’s recent Supreme Court ruling there was a letter in the local paper about Iowa’s long history of “progressive” ideas. Can’t remember them all, but some had to do with slavery, others with women’s rights. Now gay rights.
Reading all that I realized that the good people of Iowa have a history of being truly conservative, i.e., expand freedoms, keep government out of our lives.
I think a lot of liberal government “intrusion” comes about because the cons weren’t doing conservative things and thus a reaction.
How can this be a controlled substance? For God’s sake, it’s a friggin weed that grows out of the ground.
I think the government should concentrate more on controlling the thieves that robbed our country blind (the Constitution gives the government the authority to regulate commerce and finance). The Constitution doesn’t say anything about controlling some non toxic weed that grows out of the ground.
does anybody have any potato chips?
Seriously, whining about the tea parties is dumb. It takes a special interest or a complete idiot to think that higher taxes and historic Federal debt levels are anything other than really, really bad ideas. There will be blowback.
I’d at least like to raise them up to the level that we had when Reagan was president. I realize that the tax rates at that time make Reagan a flaming socialist to you, but I think they were reasonable.

that argued we shouldn’t decriminalize. Well, kinda.
They argued that there shouldn’t be a sentencing reform bill this year that would have moved CO closer to decriminalization.
the chicks were much better looking at 420!
Apparently only the right-wing extremists carried racist, offensive placards.
I suppose it never occurred to Pols that it could actually be the same people from the “Tea Party” at 420? After all, most of the “reactionary extremists” that organized the Tea parties (e.g., Ron Paul) are long-time supporters of legalization of all controlled substances, and not just of marijuana.
I can’t think of many major Democrats on record of supporting legalization. (Unless you count Dennis Kucinich). Certainly nobody close to the Obama administration. On the GOP side, you had a sitting governor, Gary Johnson (R-NM) who actively supported legalization of all illegal drugs, and a presidential candidate, Ron Paul, who (unlike Kucinich), who outraised his opponents for much of the campaign. My prediction is that the GOP, not the Dems, will be the first to include legalization as part of the party platform — they sure need to do SOMETHING, now don’t they?
By the way, pols, you misspelled “cannabis” in your quotation. If it was a misspelling in the original article, you need to include a “(sic)” after the error to indicate that.
