i dont understand how any drug user can be for the right wing when all they have done is drop taxes for the fuckin rich ass and started the whole war on drugs in the first place.... lol wtf is wrong with u guys!!!!!
The problem is that democrats are almost as bad when it comes to the war on drugs. Worse sometimes, look at the number of pot smokers that got locked up under Clinton.
Republicans want to punish drug users by sending them to prison, democrats want to help drug users by sending them to prison. Which is worse?
Remember that leaving people alone, free from unnecessary interference of government is more of a republican position than a democrat position.
The problem is that 90% of the republicans in office aren't real republicans, they are just there because they think thats the way to get ahead. Often they are right.
I told my girlfriend that I was more of a republican than a democrat and she almost dumped me on the spot. I never was able to successfully explain to her why republicans are actually preferable to democrats if you remove the neocons from the equation. She hears the word republican and thinks of bush/reagan/cheeny, and anything I say after that falls on dead ears. Of course the presence of neocons means that on average democrats are currently the lesser evil, but not much lesser.
That doesn't matter though, its always important to vote for the right person based on issues, no matter what party affiliation they have. Remember that the most anti-drug-war member of congress is a republican.

In my opinion its equally likely to come from either side.
Its important to join MPP, MAPS and DPA and do as much activism as you can, but at the end of the day if you aren't having fun with your activism you are probably wasting your time.
Fighting the drug war is a lot of fun though, and there are a lot of cool people at drug reform conferences.

I doubt it. I'm a misanthrope. I'm kinda looking forward to all of this shit. After all, the American public DEMANDED it, and who am I to get in the way of self-determination?
Haha! You fucking primates! You wanted secret police, you GOT secret police.
What makes you so sure I wanted this? I didn't cheer Bush. Hell, I couldn't even vote in the 04' elections. You don't realize what a vital threat this is to you. Your freedom of speech is on the line. But, that's really what this government wants. They want people like you who don't care. People who will sit on their pessimistic views and not care what happens as long as they can get drunk on the weekends and watch T.V. Come time they take your rights away as a human, since you are a human, will you care? Would you mind when Obama forces you to do "voluntary community service?" I mean, he did try and pass that in Congress, however it was not covered in the media until the mandatory aspect of it was removed - and even then it was skimmed over, despite it initially violating our constitutional rights.
So, I ask you, misanthrope homo sapien, what will you do when they come for you?
1. My freedom of speech stopped existing as a right (as opposed to a privilege) once asswipes like Clinton and Bush instituted "free speech zones" and got away with it.
2. The mandatory aspect is back. Google HR1444.
3. Depends how smart they are about it. If they bushwhack me at the grocery store, probably nothing, as it will happen too fast to do anything about it. However, as it is the US government and thus incompetent by definition, they'll probably screw it up and I'll make some good 6 o'clock news footage.
Frankly, I stopped caring about this when I realized that both parties are the same damn thing, and I've been giggling my ass off at the so-called "conservatives" that put up with this shit for 8 years, and suddenly NOW have a problem with it.
I gotta be me.

Po-lice? I didn't order any police.
Sure you did.
Complacency is just as bad as active participation.
