There is one thing that I have noticed while posting and that is that the liberals always seem to be pro-drugs. The conservatives seem to want to control them. My question is does the use of drugs cause a person to be a democrat or does being a democrat cause a person to use drugs.

Are those the only two options? What if being young makes you more likely to not only be a democrat, but use drugs too? I mean, most college aged people are liberal. I'm liberal cause I haven't gotten greedy with my paycheck yet, and I'm young, and I might or might not party with drugs. Or maybe it's something completely different.

I got greedy with my paychecks at the ripe age of 15-1/2, AND I did drugs for a couple years.

Which does that make me?

No. Dumbocrats just like to make sure as many of the most poorly-educated people and minorities are free to vote, regardless of what crimes they have committed, since those persons tend to be so stupid they will believe any kind of swill the dumbcrats will vomit out and vote accordingly.

What's really amusing is that Democrats seem to have more conservative values than Republicans.

I can't think of one conservative value that Republicans have had in the last eight years.

Drugs are complicated. What liberals don't want to be is hypocrites about drugs in the way Limabaugh was, condemning drug users while he took them and broke the law. A foundation of liberalism and America is a belief in individual freedom, and just like prohibition failed, most drug prohibitions fail too. If you are rich, a doctor prescribes them, if you are poor, the corner pusher sells them. In the end we waste lots of money doing something that will never work.


A vote for John McCain is a vote against the fundamental principle of America, the right of the individual to lead their life privately without the government interfering.

Dems?

The Dem leadership is even more pro-prohibition than Republicans.

Look at the numbers of arrests and money spent under Dem v Rep. administrations on anti-drug programs.

Wake up and smell the partisan nonsense.

Stop imagining that you understand what's going on based on some caracture of liberals and conservatives that exists only in your head because of the media crap you feed on.

Pay attention.

God forbid if we let minorities vote! They're so stupid and they commit all those crimes.

I say we should only let the crackers and redneck hicks vote.

I think it is more telling that younger people tend toward liberalism, while older people tend toward Conservatism. With age comes wisdom I say

There is a quote from Winston Churchill. Goes something like this.

"If you are not a liberal at age 20, you have no heart, If you are not a Conservative at age 40 you have no brain."

Winston himself evolved from a liberal into a Conservative. As have I.

Is there any reason that anyone thinks this is a legitimate political question? Or can we all agree that the sole purpose for asking it is to troll?

You are right of course, it is a stupid question, I personally know Conservatives who get high. I used to be one, prolly would still be if I had not had 2 kids and had to grow up.


I would even offer that wanting to control drugs is not a true conservative thing to want, as it means more government, and the most basic tenant of conservatism is to limit gov at all costs.

That depends on what kind of drugs you are talking about...

Rush Limbaugh uses Viagra..and other types of stuff to get his big arse outa bed each day..It got his loud mouth into a little bit of trouble..(smile)

Bill Clinton had them on hand,but did not inhale so to speak.

Even George Bush Junior had a bout with cocain....but made sure he had a conservative judge to get him off the hook.

Drugs know no color..or political backgrounds..

Hope that clears your confusion up..

Plus..George Bush is an alcolholic...Ask him..

I'm sure this has been addressed on here before, but I'm new so forgive me if it has.

Just wondering, thoughts on legalization of pot.

Yes?

No?

Now, since the person who started this thread thinks it's a Repub./Demo. thing, state where you stand on that political scale if you don't mind.

Me thinks Independents/Demos say Yes, Republicans/Conservitives say no.

The only way that would be true is if Democrats were outnumbered by Republicans in the over forty set. There's no evidence of it.

Besides, Churchill never actually said that.

I dearly hope I haven't inadvertently added to your dejection.
