I wonder about it. Have you ever noticed that what a politician does once elected is almost always what his opponent has been promising to do?
Bill Clinton wins, we get a balanced budget, Don't ask don't tell, paying down the national debt. mostly peaceful times, a rising stock market, NAFTA, and a few things I've forgotten.
You'd think the Republicans would've been happy with Bill, but all they do is bitch about him and Monica.

Bush Junior takes office and wow! The largest increase in federal spending ever, even larger than Reagan! Oh yeah, another small governmanet politicain ol' Reagan! Just who's selling this stuff to us, anyway? Jr. has three wars going, plus the ongoing War on Drugs, A great increase in the intrusiveness of the federal government and it's powers, hell just his attitude towards warrantless phone tapping is enough to scare me. And which Republican president signed into law the creation of the Department of Education? A federal bureaucracy that has yet to educate one child, but has seen its budget balloon to something huge I'm sure.

So maybe if McCain wins we'll have legal herion in three years? Nah, not a chance, but maybe Hemp and Pot can atleast come to their senses. Junior Bush sure meddled with Mexican politics when the previous president Vincent Fox suggested he might sign the bill legalizing small personal amounts of drugs. What a panic that must've been for the DEA and the Narco-Nazi.

Those Onion investigative reporters are amazing in what they can dig up! I was just commenting on that in a different tribe after someone there posted an article about the government's plans to help paranoid schizophreniacs.

Of the three front runners, I think I'd rather have Obama. He didn't go along with gas tax shell game and spoke against it.

Do you think he'd do anything about the War on Drugs? More prisons or maybe decriminalization? Or nothing, just let things continue as they are? Has he done anything on it, or been asked recently? He's from Illinois, right? A state that has recently criminalized salvia divinorum for some ridiculous reason. Oh yeah, I remember now. It helps politicians get re-elected if the look tough on drugs and crime, especially if it appears that they're also protecting children while doing so. This despite the fact that the War on Drugs has done more harm to more children and adults than all the drugs being fought in the war.
