I was wondering when Democrats would finally discover this extremely popular position. Apparently that time is now.
actually repubs have to much of a financial interest in it!! Behind closed doors they all use the stuff!! Repubs will lose too much money if it passes....It's going nowhere, repubs will never pass it.
more "new ideas" that the libertarian party has been fighting for for years and years. just like ending qualified immunity, asset forfeiture, among other things.
maybe it will at least get he senate to pass the states bill, Gardner and Warren are the sponsors.
Have libertarians successfully controlled either chamber of Congress and effect change to this extent?
I think you and I agree that MJ should be off the controlled substances list. It should most certainly never been on as a schedule 1 substance.
Removing it is a win for all Americans, although I doubt many won't see more progress as a win.
let us into the debates and remove the regulations that the D and R parties have put up to block us from ballot access and then we can talk about who controls everything.
yes we agree on ending the drug war.
you are being discriminated against by either party! Your agenda is so un popular nobody except somebody who is looney will totally support a Libertarian ....sorry!!let us into the debates and remove the regulations that the D and R parties have put up to block us from ballot access and then we can talk about who controls everything. -- what regulations? None......
yes we agree on ending the drug war.

Why?? The percentage of Libertarians is miniscule........let us into the debates and remove the regulations that the D and R parties have put up to block us from ballot access and then we can talk about who controls everything.
yes we agree on ending the drug war.
No!! But the Libertarians offer nothing! If they did the party would be growing instead of just stagnating!so you are totally happy with what we have going on now. got it.
you keep electing the old white guys. i'll vote for a highly educated woman.
You say we?? who is we? I am sorry that is what is wrong with your party! You make claims as if the libertarians are on the forefront of all these issues when if that was the case quite a few people would know about these forefront issues!yet we keep seeing things the libertarians have been fighting for for years become part of the platforms of other parties... the party is growing. in the last 10 years the # of people registered as libertarians has increased 92%. R is down 5% and D is down 8% independent is up 19%
i cant show you people who can get the # of votes needed to win because you wont allow them in the polls that determine the support % to get into the debates. how can you poll at 15% when you are not in the poll? I can show you people who are patriots and have great ideas, some of which you have coopted into major party platforms. I can show you highly educated and diverse candidates as well.
so you are not happy about it, and you refuse to do anything to change it and antagonize anyone who does want to change it. what a conflicted place your brain must be.
also guess who owns all those prisons that are being filled with MJ users......It's going nowhere, repubs will never pass it.

I am sorry, the truth is there are not enough libertarians to make a difference and until looney toon Libertarians like Rand Paul and a few others are weeded out, your party will fo nowhere!
Truth is the truth! Most people who claim to be Libertarians are silent or not involved in the party! But id you feel thst being a Libertarian is cool well be cool!!quite a few people know libertarians have been campaigning for decriminalization for decades. i'm not sure how you don't know that. it must be quite a bubble. i'm not sure advice should be taken from someone who does not know about policies like asset forfeiture and qualified immunity. my stats are good, you can look them up.
royal we.
The TRUTH! i say its the truth, so it must be! sounds a lot like an IMHO to me, but i don't think H would be a good descriptor for your opinions.
That was purly a political stunt! He knew nothing would come of it! Your so confident that Libertarians are the good guys.........that you actually have to take whatever you find and try to make the shit smell like a rose...oh yea... you mentioned Rand Paul...
what a loon! fighting for justice reform, the end of no knock warrants ( way before it was cool) and has been a champion of justice reform in both houses.
also:
the democratic party has sued 3 Texas green party candidates and the courts have removed them from the ballots.
Republicans have sued to remove 41 Texas libertarian candidates, but lost the suit.
all on the last day to file.
in AR, the Gov. signed a bill in direct violation of prior court rulings that increased the # of signatures need to get on the ballot for minor parties ( R and D have no such requirement) from 10000 to 3% of the # of total votes in the past gubernatorial election, the same threshold that was struck down in an early court ruling.
just a smattering of what you think does not exist.
