Don't forget the republican party isn't what it's suppose to be. Legalizing cannabis embodies much more of a republican ideal then a democratic one. Dems would like to see it regulated and controlled by the government, republicans(at least by definition, again the party isn't really republican anymore) are more for free market total legalization with no government interaction. Republicans are all about low taxes and small governement. Democrats think they know best and that the average citizen isn't smart enough to make their own decisions. They want to tax you blind and contorl every aspect of your life.
Republicans, IMO do so many things better then the democrats, and I agree so much more with their political views but they shoot themselves in the foot by involving things like religion and social issues(gay marrige, welfare, etc.) in politics. I could never stand behind a party that openly spouts off ignorant comments like, "being gay is like being an alcoholic" - the guy that said that is the fucking governer of texas! That's what's wrong with this country...an entire state was ok with him saying that. I can't believe he wasn't forced to resign after that! What if he said, "being retarted is a sin" that backwards state would cheer him on.
