One cannot say this and be a conservative
Once cannot say that and maintain any sense of principle or sense of honest character, period!

So one can be for legal pot and still be a conservative.
Ken,
If you had actually been paying attention to what Cruz stated on this issue, you would have known that Cruz IS NOT for pot, in fact, he stated he was against it, he also state that constitutionally speaking, it is within the rights of the states to legalize it.
If you are going to post something about someone else, please make sure it is an honest representation.

Facts like that won’t stop Ken from saying the same lie over and over.
It’s obvious why he keep doing it too.

"I see an America where criminal justice is applied equally and any law that disproportionately incarcerates people of color is repealed," Paul said." One cannot say this and be a conservative
Correct and I never said otherwise, but what's that got to do with what I wrote?
I say one can be for legalizing pot at the federal level, like Ted Cruz, and still be a conservative. Agreed?

TEN generations of Americans worked their asses off ... saved money ... built a nation ... all pretty much in a "no legal drugs" world.Exactly wrong - for most of those ten generations there were no laws against drugs.

Please take your "childish moonbeam" wishes to legalize pot to another country, and STOP trying to FUBAR the United States of America (where my grandchildren live). Pot criminalization is failing your grandchildren; teens have been reporting for years that they can get pot more easily than cigarettes or beer - which stands to reason, since only sellers of legal goods have incentive to 'card' buyers.

You should look in the mirror when you say that.

I’m merely addressing biology. Of course corrupt politicians use them to the damage of all.
To: Ken H; manc
Same question. Is Cruz for legalizing pot at the federal level, yes or no?
No.
And if you think otherwise, post the related link to the story that refutes that.

His creepy dad toured the talk shows in 1991 claiming that the use of A9 armored bulldozers and tanks with plow attachments to clear trench lines in Desert Storm constituted war crimes. He also had a written statement to that effect in the newsletter he mailed out back then.
Wrong Paul is a guy who will pander to the Code Pink crowd.
It’s not going to be forgotten.
Rand doesn’t appear to have dropped out too far from the bull.

No, liar by omission, by that logic those who are genuinely concerned about youth's access to drugs should support policies that minimize that access - which criminalization for adults fails to do.
