Long-haired country crooner Willie Nelson and his Teapot Party have endorsed Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson.

Johnson, the first presidential candidate the group has endorsed, got the nod from the Teapoters because of his views on legalizing marijuana.

The former governor of New Mexico, who previously admitted to smoking pot for medicinal purposes, supported legalizing the drug when he was governor. Since he’s been out of office, he has continued to speak out for marijuana reform. Johnson said, “I advocate legalizing marijuana – control it, regulate, tax it” during the Republican debate on May 5 in South Carolina.

That's what we needed, leadership. Whaling Willie's gonna lead us all in smoking a joint.

But, I thought Whaling Willie was an Obama supporter?? What happened??

Huey Long, a populist, wanted to put a chicken in every pot in the 1930s. Now we have Gary Johnson, a populist, who wants to put pot in every chicken!

It can’t be any worse than what they’re smoking in Washington these days anyway...

[mangonc2]

What’s wrong with Ron Paul? He endorses legalizing pot (but he doesn’t want to tax it!).

I hate smelly hippies.

The old kind especially.

They smell like mothballs and pot smoke.

I have been poking smot for some 30+ years and my mind is as sharp as it has ever been.

Just keep your opinions to yourself and just sing, okay, hoss?

Frankly, it's hard to make an intellectually honest distinction between weed and alcohol, but in any event, talk about a peripheral issue. I can't believe given the magnitude of the fiscal issues at stake that this would be the basis for someone’s endorsement.

Considering that the Feds are borrowing 42 cents out of every dollar they are spending, American government needs to go on a severe diet. This looks like a good place to start.

Keep in mind that he has “admitted to smoking pot for medicinal purposes.”

So what’s his medical problem? Is he crazy as a bed bug?

[org.whodat]

Duh, Willie is a democrat, always has been.

No fool like an old fool.

Sadly, this old fool is a one issue voter.

He only cares about dope.

Loser
