I'm a libertarian and think it should be legalized. Tired of the government telling me and others what I can and can't do in the privacy of my own house. REpublicans are anti-drug so he was merely towing the party line.Originally posted by: Vic
I would agree with you, but during his term as governor of Texas, Bush introduced and signed legislation that mandated strict mandatory minimum sentencing for first-time drug and alcohol offenders, the overwhelming majority of whom are usually "young and dumb" as well.Originally posted by: Nitemare
And his wife killed someone....and?
This was when they were both young and dumb.
That hypocrisy may be lost on you (among many others), but not on me.
However, my point was that GW expects us to forgive him for the foolishness of his youth, while signing legislation designed specifically to severely punish others for theirs. What I cannot forgive there is his hypocrisy.
