Yes, it is hard to concieve given that the Democratic
Party shows no sign whatever of having a clue.
Barny Frank has recently introduced a bill legalizing (or perhaps decriminalizing) hemp, but I don't expect the majority of Dems to support it.
It would not surprise me at all to discover that as many Rs vote for that bill (not many) as Ds.
there STILL ARE genuine Republican conservatives who really DO OBJECT to the government insinuating itself into people's lifes.
We all do remember, don't we that Bill Buckley was against the war on Drugs for decades?
That is entirely consistent with the traditional hands-off approach of genuine old time American conservative thinking.
The War on Drugs is one of the issues which puts me into the Indie camp.
