You’re “inference,” is just that an inference. I could just as easily infer that she is not happy with the RESULTS that the dollars spent on the drug wars have gotten, and that she would like to restructure the drug laws to get better results, WITHOUT legalization. She did not CLEARLY say that she was for legalization.
She is the only candidate that gets the role of government. If you watched those debates and come to the conclusion that you want to vote for Perry or KBH over Medina then I guess I am to the right of you because I see her as the clear choice.
Bringing in the casinos would be awesome!!! That way I don’t have to drive to Louisiana and more business comes to Texas!
This is an awesome video of her presser after the 1st debate.
Call me a nutjob, but I do think that Ron Paul makes a very good argument FOR legalization. After all, prohibition of drugs is government suppression of a person’s freedom. We also have laws that prohibit murder, and everyone agrees that their are justifiable reasons for doing so, but you know what, it’s handled by the states. Why shouldn’t drug laws be handled by the state?
Paul says that alcohol and nicotine are just as much a drug as marijuana and I agree. Should be prohibit alcohol and nicotine? Many people will counter that people should be free to drink or smoke a cigarette, but that they shouldn’t be allowed by the state to smoke marijuana because marijuana is a “gateway” drug. Well fine, but let’s have a discussion at the state level before we spend $100s of billions of dollars on the drug war.
And who is benefitting the most from our failed drug wars? You guessed it, the drug cartels. So really, the drug war is a “gateway” to a breakdown of the border. I’m just saying that we SHOULD discuss the drug war as Medina has said.

Call me a cynic, but politicians seldom say anything “CLEARLY”. It is sort of like a doctor learning to scribble a prescripion. Ms. Medina is new to the game and not so scribbly as KBH or Perry. You took her comments one way..I took them another.
I don’t see her as the clear choice at this moment. Like I said..I want more info on her. I’m not looking for a “Scott Brown Moment”. Perry is not Ted. Just because Ms. Medina is new and unknown does not necessarily make her my choice.
Thanks for the link and have a great evening (or morning)!
(Just for the record, I would love the revenue and convenience of casinos in Texas...but I’m not gonna hold my breath.)
