  • What is the number 1 way to stop drugs?

    Drugs really took off in the 60s because it was glamorized. Movies showing the "Hip" kids doing drugs. Songs glorifying drugs Big stars playing Drug czars. Now look at tobacco it too was glamorized in the 20s & 30 up to the 50s with all the news casters and big stars smoking then the powers that be decided to UN-glamorize them and Walla people who smoke are looked down on and cigarette sales drop My darlings you are being manipulated If the government wanted drugs to stop they would be stopped. This war on drugs is a phony war.

  • What's wrong with Mitt Romney?

    While living in Park city Utah Romney ran for governor of Massachusetts. Mass requires seven years of continuous state residency to run for office.

    After a lot of legal wrangling and paying back taxes, he was finally allowed on the ballot.(In other words he bought the nomination)

    2nd offense (That we know of) 2012 Romney claimed that he lived in an unfinished basement so he could vote in the election to fill Ted Kennedy seat He really lived in La Jolla, Calif

    http://www.theliberaloc.com/2012/04/18/ocs-fred-ka...

    Why isn't this given wide media coverage.

    It's claimed that Romney has experience in creating jobs FALSE. He has experience in sending our jobs to foreign countries. Even as Mass Gov he out sourced gov jobs to India.

    Romney can't relate to people because he don't give a damn about people. You don't want a president who couldn't care less about American's citizens just big corporations.

    Romney claims he can turn the economy around (LOL) He contributed to our economical collapse with his greedy ways. Destroying the economy of small towns throwing thousands of American out of work

  • Citizens United Anti-American?

    Citizens United, the Supreme Court decision which legalized unlimited corporate spending on campaigns (PACs).

    PACs are not limited to telling the truth. They make things up about their other opponents, they make things up about their own candidate, and they can basically lie, cheat and steal."

    "Citizens United has allowed money to enter politics to an extent that it is taking politics away from the citizens and putting it in the hands of giant corporations."

    An ABC/Washington Post poll found that seven out of 10 Americans think the super-PACs should be illegal.

    We have to get back to one person, one vote, and not have it be millionaires count and the common people don’t. That's Anti-American

  • If you decriminalize drugs would it help the economy?

    "The United States has 5 percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the world's incarcerated population. We rank first in the world in locking up our fellow citizens," said Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance, which supports alternatives in the war on drugs.

    "Why are so many people in prison? Blame mandatory sentencing laws and the record number of nonviolent drug offenders subject to them," she said.

    Our epidemic of incarceration costs us taxpayers $63.4 billion a year. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3445_162-57418495/the-...

    So if drugs were legal you could tax the product People wouldn't be locked up for using. People who smoke, drink or use drugs will get them legal or not. Why put money in the hands of gangsters. Didn't we learn anything from prohibition? So you would generate revenue you would save on incarceration a win -win situation

  • No connection between PAC and candidates?

    There isn't suppose to be communications between the candidates and the Super PACs that support them

    but yet there was Foster Fries - Rick Santorum's Billionaire Backer standing on the stage right beside him.

    Are the rules different for Rick or does he continue to skirt the rules. He's such a hypocrite

  • Do Republican men think they own women's bodies ?

    It is unacceptable that Republicans would convene a panel on denying access to birth control coverage with five men and no women.. Excuse me but women are quite capable on deciding what they want and what they need for themselves.

  • Would you vote for Santorum ?

    In 2006, Santorum faced charges of hypocrisy for living in Virginia with his family while a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania and allowing a Pennsylvania school to pay for his children's online education.I'm from Pennsylvania and believe me we could hardly wait to get rid of Santorum.

    No ome who ever worked with Santorum has endorsed him. That speaks volumes

  • Santorum in the lead ?

    Well all the remaining Republicans have had the lead with the exception of Dr. Paul. Hopefully they've saved the best for last.

    It’s incredible. Santorum went on television and declared that birth control is “harmful to women” and said, “I don’t think it works.” The guy likened homosexuality to bestiality, and criticized women for working outside the home even when two incomes are needed to pay the bills

    I hope Santorum's lead is very temporary. This guy has an extreme social agenda. I'm sure if he had his way women would be kept barefoot and pregnant and without the vote
