The Importance of Voting

His campaign said that he "misunderstood the definition of decriminalization". Now, he's an attorney, allegedly taught law (constitutional law at that), if I recollect as an adjunct professor, and is a U.S. senator. As such, he is a "wordsmith", who had God damned well fucking-A better know definitions of simple words and legal concepts! Thusly, I call BULLSHIT. He said what he did in order to garner votes from the most people without jeopardizing the whole thing.

Do your research. Obama selected Biden, the person who coined the term Drug Czar, as his running mate. He cannot simply choose which laws shall be enforced and which won't. The ONLY difference between Obama and McCain is that McCain is certain he will will continue the War on Drugs, whereas Obama doesn't seem to know the definition of decriminalization.

The Diva speaks, just do it.

I've seen the youtube videos, but I don't believe a politicians words. Talk is cheap, words written can be pulled up and shoved in a politician's face when they fail to adhere to them, because they have more weight.

Um, how about his voting record and his retraction of those statements?????? For fuck's sakes, people truly only believe what they want to and dispense with the rest, truth of the matter be damned.

 

[blazed24sevn]

Never said he was gonna actially do somthin about it. But i do know or a fact that he is in favor of decriminalization!

You do not know that for a fact, because he retracted his statement and claimed that he "didn't understand the definition of decriminalization". He removed the pertinent information from his website months ago, so you've got to do some searching for the news stories, but, they are out there (I've posted them several times). And, you're ignoring who his running mate is. After eight years of Cheney & Rumsfeld, can we afford to ignore Veeps any longer?
