I stand corrected. Maryland contains people that are not ignorant f***ing dumbasses. Too bad the other 49 states do.

Maine just did too!

And please, don't put words in my mouth.

 

Before the election, Silver is exactly the same thing he was after the election, someone that doesn't manipulate numbers just to make his 'side' the winner. He's more interested in reality than fiction.

 

Again.

 

Comparing him to the likes of Rove, Morris, et al...yes, he's a genius. And again, that's like comparing your baseball skills to a 6 year old with down syndrome. It doesn't make you smarter/faster/better...it just makes you not handicapped. :P

Not necessarily your mouth, but others.

Maine.

 

Maine is like a different country. ;)

I don't know why...I guess people want to convince themselves of some alternate reality. I just don't understand why.

 

The ONLY way Romney stood a chance -- and I said this early on -- was if the economy suddenly crumbled, unemployment skyrocketed, and gas hit 5$+ a gallon immediately before the election.

 

Neither happened.

 

IMO, you don't need to be a genius pollster to predict Obama wins considering the circumstances.

Isn't this all just for grins, though?

 

Until *Federal* law, which supersedes state law, says it's legal...it's not.

 

Or am I mistaken?

I assume youre right since federal obviously trumps state law. But in regards to Colorado, a local police force would not be able to do anything about you smoking your joint on your front porch, if its the DEA though........

This is how you get the federal law repealed. One by one the states legalize it.

I actually don't know...I wonder if anyone here could shed some light on this.

 

Personally, I think ALL drugs should be completely legalized. Enough of this black market s*** that kills more people than the drugs do.

well that's a poor idea.

it will be interesting to see the final popular vote

Well, anyway, I have to go eat some frozen yoghurt and go to sleep shortly thereafter.

 

Three cheers for Obama, the President of the United States. Whether you stood with him or against him...stand by him now. He's my your our President. Respect that.

 

To everyone who believes their guy won, congratulations. To everyone who thinks their guy was cheated, grow up and respect the office.

 

Goodnight!

IIRC, Portugal did something like this, and it actually helped them somewhat.

I don't have time to argue with you about it now...but I disagree. Legalize all of it, control all of it. Versus what we have now...no control at all. :P

I see Obama winning electoral college and Romney winning popular vote and 50% pissed off no matter what!

I am hesitant to do that...and while I don't think weed is a "gateway drug," I have to think that legalizing it might placate folks enough to not seek illegal drugs in as high of numbers

Wish more people had this attitude. Some of the stuff on FB and Twitter is nauseating. Even some from relatives of mine who I am now ashamed to be related to. Not because of their affiliation but their attitude and remarks.

I wish I wasn't ready to sleep, because this is a discussion I'd love to have with some of you.

 

We should all earmark this for tomorrow, or a future discussion.

if they legalized marijuana in Chicago and found a way to sell it through places like Walgreens and CVS, the unemployment numbers would skyrocket with all the out-of-job drug dealers. #theytookourjobs

Isn't legalizing all drugs something Johnson wants o do in New Mexico? Hard to predict how things would go.

 

I don't smoke weed but I'd vote to legalize it.

But theyd need more store clerks at Walgreens.

 

Lets do this Illinois 2014,

Legalizing marijuana wouldn't put drug dealers out of work. It would put small time drug dealers out of business. I don't care about marijuana, but some of the drugs namely heroin and other drugs that act as a perfect pharmalogical lock for our neuro receptors are a bad idea to legalize. Certain chemicals are extremely addictive because they are engineered perfectly.

Now that this godforsaken election is over, I fully expect all the loudmouths who claimed they would move out of the country if their guy wasn't elected to pack their bags and leave. Or, you know, they can nut up and shut up and just deal with this "abomination" (Obama Nation), as they'd probably call it. Barack Obama is our president again, and you are an American. Support him or get out.
