Drug-bashing Republican charged with drug use April 25, 2011 - rawstory.com
Robert Watson, a high-ranking Republican state legislator in Rhode Island, is in hot water after being charged with driving under the influence of marijuana and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Drug charges alone would be bad enough for a public official, but Watson, Rhode Island's House minority leader, is still remembered for his controversial anti-drug, anti-gay and anti-immigrant remarks.
In February, Watson said the Rhode Island legislature had their priorities right "if you are a Guatemalan gay man who likes to gamble and smokes marijuana."
Watson was a guest on a radio show soon after the luncheon where he made the misstep, and in response to the outcry over his comments said, “I reject the suggestion that it's insulting." He went on to say that lawmakers were "preoccupied with a number of issues, primarily social issues," when Watson thought they should focus on the economy.
"I apologize when appropriate and/or necessary," Watson told the Providence Journal in February. "I identify this situation as representing neither circumstance."
Watson was pulled over at a police checkpoint Friday, East Haven police told the Associated Press. Police noted a "strong odor of marijuana" coming from Watson's car, and charged him with possession and driving under the influence. The lawmaker was released after he promised to appear in court, and has not yet issued a statement.

Watson deserves the maximum sentence. Officials who push to punish people for marijuana are the only people who deserve to go to jail for drugs. Justice is served. Good luck getting a job in office, you tool.

Democrats don't bash drugs, typically. Instead they act like they welcome change to infective drug policies but, once in office, they don't do shit.

Nah, I am sure he has some very smart lawyer friends. Small fine paid.
Then he will say the law is to relaxed and that he made a mistake so things have to get tougher. He might even to a anti drug ad.

Too bad he didn't get caught with PCP, I'd just find that personally satisfying.

I don't see why you're rolling your eyes at me. I agree with you. Their shit definitely stinks. You're taking what I said out of it's necessary context:
Quote:

This is how the mainstream democrat's political game is usually played. Clinton and Obama both acted like they advocated reform to marijuana laws but, once elected, just maintained the current trend in policies.
