Just as the Democrats are too stupid to see that anti-gun laws are tactically bad for them and good for us. ALL we need to do is get the whole ‘schedule ‘ thing dispensed with- which we should be doing as constitution loving conservatives anyway - to take an issue away from the Democrats. Especially with so many dispensaries, when we can concentrate the publicity on all the stupid taxes the Dems are imposing we might gain ground. More than one former hippie has changed to Republican as soon as they open their own business :-)

“More than one former hippie has changed to Republican as soon as they open their own business.”


Back in the mid-’80s, after he had been defeated in the 1980 Reagan landslide, went home to open a bed & breakfast, and then had the thing go belly up, George McGovern gave an interview to Playboy Magazine. To his credit, he stated that if when he was in Congress he knew what he knew after his business experience, he would have voted much differently on economic matters. While I despised his politics, I did and still do give him credit for being honest (and also for his service in WW2 - he volunteered and piloted 35 missions over Europe in a B-24).

Yeah, sometimes even the dumbest people learn when reality slaps a dead fish across their face.
