i mean that. really.
i LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE this place.
i have spent the last 2 hours arguing via email with a pal of mine. he's hard core republican, but a huge pothead. ironic, isn't it. (i know, i know, "why are you friends with him then?" all i can say is that he's a cool dude until you bring up politics. it's complicated.)
he has been throwing everything he can at me trying to tear Obama down. were it not for the treasure trove of info that you all have tirelessly researched and/or shared i would have spent days debunking his goofy ass. the DU search function is PRICELESS.
it was by far the best smackdown i have ever provided.
i
love
you
DU.

I don't even try with wingnuts any longer. I've lost a couple of friends because I won't put up with their crap.
I love DU, too.

5. nothing ironic about a republican smoking pot |
|
national review, the so called "flagship" of the conservative movement, has been pro-pot legalization/decrim for DECADES
i know plenty of pro pot repubs.
and some of our democratic politicians, to include clinton, have been AT LEAST as bad if not worse than the average repub on the war on drugs.
this is not a repub/dem issue.
fwiw, i am a cop. a LOT of cops i work with are both republican AND pro decrim of pot. and it's not because they smoke it. they just think the law is dumb
i know a DEA agent who is also pro legalization.
it's not a partisan issue.

17. yes I finally found this link |
|
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4926451I am waiting to pull it out when the M$M says "Sotomayor confirmed after contentious vote" when the vote is 72-28. Just like they turned Bush's 78-22 into "overwhelming support" I am betting that they will convert a 70-30 vote into a total squeaker, like it was a 51-50 vote.
