    Luke (I can't imagine Dave having anything to do with this post), he already HAS the stoner vote.

    Stoners aren't motivated enough to vote

    I'm sure this is an attempt to get younger people involved in the campaign instead of the stoner vote. Going after the stoner vote would be futile since getting off the couch to mail in a ballot would be too much work for many of them.

    A legalization measure is on that ballot also. Hence the "stoner" vote.

    He doesn't have the "stoner" vote- His ramping up the attacks by the jackbooted thugs at the DEA on dispensaries in various states is only one of the many reasons I won't vote for Obama, but then again I won't vote for Romney- Gary Johnson is the only hope to shake up the stranglehold and mess the two "major" parties have made of this country.

    "Stoners" would be hard pressed to vote for Obama

    @It's Me! Ha ha! A vote for Johnson is a vote for Johnson. A vote for Romney is a vote for Romney. A vote for Obama is a vote for Obama. Nothing more, nothing less. I find it hard to believe that anyone seriously interested in legalizing cannabis would vote for Obama in light of his recent crackdowns. Johnson is the only candidate advocating legalizing marijuana but it's tough getting media exposure if you're not a D or an R.

    Imagine that. You say that Mittens and Barry are the only ones running? WRONG...Gary Johnson is on the ballot in all 50 states, or as Barry would say "All 56 states". Keep trying to carry the Republicans water and spouting off nonsense talking points like messiah and longway for the Democrats. Mittens and Barry should team up for the Super Duo of the Totalitarian Fascist Dream Team since they see eye to eye on pretty much everything of substance and are owned by the same Masters.

    Except that those "two" "real" parties are in fact the SAME party, just two factions within the same party. Kinda like 2 butt cheeks of the same a3shole 5hitting all over the American People and our Constitutional Rights. To think that there is really a difference between Republicans or Democrats or that they care one bit about us is a fallacy. The truth is all they care about is garnering power, keeping power, stuffing their pockets full of bribe money and continuing the Fascist Totalitarian Police State that keeps them in power and us slaves to their Corporate Masters.

    So sick of hearing that. If you really look at it, the Republican PTB screwed the pooch by forcing Obama Part Deuce on us in Mittens Romney. A vote for Gary Johnson is just that, A VOTE FOR GARY JOHNSON. A vote for Mittens is pretty much a vote for Obama, because face it, they are the SAME. Owned by the same Banks and Corporations, same FASCIST policies...NO DIFFERENCE. "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost."--John Quincy Adams. A "vote for the lesser of two evils", which is supposedly Mittens Romney, is STILL a vote for EVIL. Face it, Republican Leadership really messed up forcing Mittens on us, there is no real difference between Barry and Mittens on any policies of substance.

    I guarantee that you will be a LOT sicker if Obama has 4 more years.

    You need to open up your eyes and realize there is a difference in the parties. Or what we are seeing today will continue and America as I know it will cease to exist and we will all be nothing more than a bunch of little ch's running around and praising the Dear Leader every day!

    or as Barry would say "All 56 states".

    Or 57.

    Sorry, 57 states. My bad. But like I said before, NO difference between Mittens or Barry. The only difference is how long the complete and total destruction of America will take, probably leading to civil war II. Under Barry, it will probably be pretty quick, say within 1-2 years from what I can tell, while it will just be a little more drawn out with Mittens in there, maybe 2-4 years. Same outcome either way, destroyed economy with their Fascist policies, our Constitution even more ripped up, our Rights taken more than now and the Police State at a level previously unthinkable. So why wait for the inevitable that will happen with Mittens? Might as well just get it over with under Obama a bit faster. I'll vote my conscience every time, Gary Johnson because he is the polar opposite of Barry/Mittens--The Fascist's Wet Dream. A vote for Mittens is a vote for Barry, just like a vote for Obama was the same as a vote for Bush. In case all the TOOLS out there haven't noticed, Obama has continued pretty much all of Bush's failed policies and Constitution bashing. I voted for Jaime Herrera last time, a supposed Tea Party candidate, but she is now a confirmed Fascist and Totalitarian (Like most of the "Tea Party" now that the Republican's co-opted that movement) so NO way she will get my vote again. I would rather vote for a Democrat, at least I know that they are scummy for the most part. She just lied to her constituents to get in power and stuff her pockets full of money. You will all be sadly sickened by Flip Flop Former Liberal Democrat Mittens when you see that he is EXACTLY the same as Barry. Do America a favor, vote for somebody with integrity, Gary Johnson, who vetoed like 200 out of 420 nonsense bills as Governor of New Mexico that the legislator sent him. How can you not like that? Our government was purposely set up to have gridlock so that scumbag politicians couldn't infringe on our Rights and STEAL our FREEDOMS. Oh, the good ol days.

    September 4, 2012 2:14 pm
    maplefish...That is a GREAT question. Not to mention the I think 2.6 Billion hollow points and other various makes/calibers that other government alphabetic agencies have purchased. Nice to see some other people keeping up with what the government is doing and not completely involved in the false Left vs. Right paradigm. Oh, don't forget about all the Armored Pillboxes and other stuff for road blocks Homeland Security and TSA are purchasing. Wonder why they need all that stuff? It certainly ISN'T to secure the border, they couldn't care less about that. So it must be for all those big scary "Right Wing Terrorists" and the boogey-man Al Qaeda that is hiding under all our kitchen tables.

    Hollow points.
    September 4, 2012 3:24 pm
    They are saying that it's to protect their officers in the field, and "most the ammunition will go to target practice." Then why Hollow points? I target practice on a near daily basis... I use FMJ most the time. And the Hollow points i do carry are for personal protection. I wouldn't ever think about using expensive hollow points for target practice. (probably Hornaday's too)

    I think what haha is trying to tell you...is that if you vote for Johnson it wont technically count because the majority of votes will go either to Barry balless or Mittens...Hence that is why if you don't vote for Romney you are voting for Barry even if you voted for Johnson...This is actually a very simple concept...aka Johnson doesn't have a chance so don't waste it on him if you really want Barry out of office.

    I know what Ha Ha the so called "Republican Conservative" is saying, I just refuse to vote for the "lesser of two evils" as I said before. Also like I said before, a vote for Mittens is the SAME as a vote for Barry as they are EXACTLY the same, owned by the same Masters and will make ALL the same policy as each other, just like Obama did with Bush.
