CaneBrain 95 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Rubio for Prez in 2016 ?It appears on the surface to this outsider that Rubio is somebody who the Conservatives could get behind for Prez.Young and personable, speaks well.Has Conservative street credibility without appearing to be bat shit crazy to moderates.Hispanic so can appeal to that growing demographic while not scaring the unsophisticated Whites since he's Cuban and not Mexican and Cubans who fled the Commies are good while Mexicans who fled poverty are bad.From an important swing state that is very important to win if you want to be Prez.Thoughts ?He's more socially conservative than you think but his fiscal conservatism is real not phony and he is a very good speaker. He'd be a legit candidate I think. He HATES poker though! Link to post Share on other sites

Roll the Bones 74 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Congratulations, House Republicans. Hopefully you all learned something from the Bush Years and the 2008 election and are now able and ready to stick to your principles and govern well. The country needs capable governing now more than ever.Just when it looked like CA was going to actually become worth my time and interest, it drops the ball hard. You do realize I am not in Congress, right? Also, it's Cane. Is that so hard?It was just a midterm. And it guaranteed you won't see cap and trade before 2014. That's how these things work, see 1995.Also, I look forward to seeing Prop 19 pass next time around. It is inevitable. Got to admit, when I saw that this morning I was pretty depressed, but quickly developed the same attitude as you. It's just so idiotic it makes me ill. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not, the biggest problem you guys who want pot legal is the other guys who want pot legal are always breaking laws and stuff. We have 3 'legal' medical pot dispensaries in PS. And we have 2 not legal. As the neighborhoods feel the effects of people who 'need' pot for their 'problems' they will grow less willing to entertain the idea of making it legal.You guys are your own worse marketing ploy.

Balloon guy 158 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Governor Jerry Brown.Maybe I'll develop glaucoma....And Boxer again?????And Reid????Personally, I am not very encouraged by this election.At least President Obama will be forced to re-evaluate his goals, shelving some of the dumber ones, and focusing instead on protecting the idiotic ones he's already passed.Should keep them mostly ineffectual.Which is my goal for all government offices...mostly ineffectual.

It has nothing to do with scare advertising or misguided thinking. If it ever does pas, I will be voting for them to raise the taxes on it as much as possible every time. Let you guys feel real pain on taxes for what you want to smoke. Link to post Share on other sites

As the neighborhoods feel the effects of people who 'need' pot for their 'problems' they will grow less willing to entertain the idea of making it legal.You guys are your own worse marketing ploy.Seriously, anyone who wants to smoke in California can anyway, this was a vote on making it official which scared some folks. Not a huge deal.Obama will have no choice but to move to the center, akoff. Seriously, I keep telling you, these are ALL the same things said about Clinton in 1994. Politicians are about self-preservation first and foremost and the country just took away Obama's credit card.Since, I have been defending the left a lot lately I will criticize them for a minute. Health care was so dumb. That is what this election was all about. If the economy is bad and you come in and make sweeping health care reform your priority, don't be surprised when the country turns on you. That's twice now, Democrats. Learn your goddamn lesson.I agree with you BG that as well as the GOP did they should have done much better.....and they let some people like Boxer and Reid off the hook as Dennis Green would say.Legalizing drugs will not be good for society, that's what most people believe. It has nothing to do with scare advertising or misguided thinking. If it ever does pas, I will be voting for them to raise the taxes on it as much as possible every time. Let you guys feel real pain on taxes for what you want to smoke.They should tax the shit out of it just like booze and cigarettes. I'm not sure we are arguing that legalizing pot is "good". It's just the lesser of two evils like with alcohol. Prohibition does NOT work when everyone likes something and everyone likes teh pot. Link to post Share on other sites

Legalizing pot would have saved us hundreds of millions in the war on drugs, reduced the illegal immigration problem, helped clear out jails of non-violent offenders and saved 25,000 Mexican lives a year, not counting those killed over drugs here, but whatever.
