Election Day 2010

[YPrrrr]

*coughcoughwhyweren'tyououtherevotingforfeingoldcoughcoughcough*

Admittedly I should have in terms of getting another democrat into office, but I've listened to his speeches and he's kind of a sleezebag. When Obama was here he spent half his speech going on and on about what good friends he and the president were and how Obama supports him (his main point of evidence being one billboard in Milwaukee with a picture of them standing together), yet Obama seemed really distant from him the entire time and barely gave him any sort of endorsement whatsoever. Then in his campaign ads Feingold continually thumps his own chest and smears his opposition. It was a really ugly campaign

So yes, I'm an idiot with principles. Fuck.

In all seriousness, I don't get how prop 19, if passed, would not be overturned. If state law comes in conflict with federal law, doesn't federal law override the state law? I'm confused please help me 

yeah, so that's why pretty much the only people voting yes on 19 are the uneducated. i was all for it until someone actually explained it all to me.

[Andria]

I mean it is still ok to vote on it. It can send a message that marijuana legalization is wanted even if it may not do anything at the moment.

um that's not true at all. there are a lot of people voting for it.

[Socks]

it is more than a symbolic gesture. without directive to enforce national laws and no federal presence, the prevailing attitude in essence becomes the de facto rule of the land, technicalities be damned.

[rdl]

um that's not true at all. there are a lot of people voting for it.

yes but reading comprehension would tell you that ultimately prop 19 won't do anything completely concrete. it's a step in the right direction, but it's not the godsent weed law that all the kids think it is. they're not home free just yet.

also, 21 for weed, but 18 for tobacco? that's retarded

yeah that's the entire point of it, to take a step in the right direction

[rdl]

not the 'entire' point.

[?????]

You guys act like federal law can not be changed.

[Travis]

not the 'entire' point.

nobody thinks this is the "miracle" bill we've all been waiting for

[?????]

nobody thinks this is the "miracle" bill we've all been waiting for

Didn't Red Dicks pretty much says he though that's what this was supposed to be?

it definitely could've been if eric holder didnt say he was going to be a bitch about it

Didn't Red Dicks pretty much says he though that's what this was supposed to be?

that's sort of the whole point.

Well, I was just referring to the current situation. Although it doesn't seem that marijuana legilisation on the federal level will happen any time soon.

[Socks]

i don't need no legislation to get my satisfaction. sovereignty within the principle above all.

[?????]

that's sort of the whole point.

Are you trying to say that all/most people think what you think?

Well, I was just referring to the current situation. Although it doesn't seem that marijuana legilisation on the federal level will happen any time soon.

I don't know why we even have laws against drugs and having restrictions greater than the legal adult age.

i don't need no legislation to get my satisfaction. sovereignty within the principle above all.

Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to hide it?
