LOS ANGELES, Jan 30 (TheWrap.com) - Snoop Dogg, throwing his weight behind Ron Paul? Politics really does make strange bedfellows -- or at least smoking buddies.
The rapper and marijuana enthusiast appeared to grant his endorsement to GOP candidate Paul on his Facebook page late Monday, posting a picture of Paul with the headline "Smoke Weed Everyday." Snoop Dogg -- born Calvin Broadus -- included the message "Because I said so" with his post.
Broadus -- whose most recent marijuana-related arrest occurred earlier this month, at the Texas border town of Sierra Blanca -- is presumably drawn to Paul due to the libertarian-leaning candidate's stance on drugs. Paul, an advocate of smaller federal government, was a co-sponsor of the States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act, and supports the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008.

Go figure.
Dude wants to be legit!
I respect him more voting for Paul than for O.
Paul probably takes more votes away from the DEMS than from the GOP...
True dat....or something.
Birds of a feather.
Snoop seems to be a single issue voter........
Paul is the only one standing up for our founding constitutional principles while all the other so-called conservatives cry, bring on more more laws, let me legislate morality for for you, whine, whine, whine! I need to enact more laws!!!
Do not we have more than enough laws already? Enough with the nonsense. It's time to get back to “COMMON SENSE”!
De issue be Freedom, Dawg!
Well, that and the weed.
(see tagline)
You, Snoop Dog and Ron Paul see eye-to-eye on the issues of the day.
Good to know.
IBTZ.
It’s a big scam — the rats are telling other rats to register as Republicans and vote for Ron Paul in the Republican primary.
Virtually no one who votes ron paul in the primary is going to vote repubican in the general.
Snoop has a history as one of the more scatological/violent rappers, and that’s not mentioned here. Maybe the ganja has calmed him down a bit in recent days. That would be enough for me to want to see it added back to the pharmacopoeia. Hey better he be in a pot haze and mellow, man, than to be in a vile and vicious rage all the time.
Anyone who believes that Snoopy Shizzle Shiznit, Bill Maher, Oliver Stone or any other celebrity leftist tool will be voting for anyone other than Barry Soetoro is a world-class fool.
Depends on what your definition of “eye to eye” means and my guess is that my definition is “NOT” the same as yours. Just as Clinton had his own definition of what “is” “IS”, conservatives who think morality can be legislated via federal laws have their own meaning of what “eye to eye” means.
Can you name one law that is not based on some moral judgment?
And I should care about what Snoop Dogg thinks because...?
I never said I was against laws, I said I am against the federal govt legislating in this area as according to the federal constitution, this area is specifically designated to the states where the state constitutions vary on the level of morality in which the people of the states granted to state legislatures. YHVH’s moral instructions (Torah) were not instituted for govt of men, but rather societies of YHVH where morality is taught in the home 1st through the teaching of Moses because homes without Moses know nothing of moral instruction. Oh, Wait! That is the teaching of modern Christendom, that Moses was done away with. And sheeple wonder why the govt is so big... They haven't figured out yet who is really in charge. [Dt 28]
My guess is you haven't spent much time actually studying the US constitution and the limits of the federal govt therein have you?
A clever and classic retort — however does one really think that government needs to be involved in orchestrating every possible moral judgment of mankind?
