Ye Olde US Midterm Elections Thread (With Extra Vitimins)

I'm more going off the ballot results anyway. I mean come on. How can anybody vote no on legalizing medical marijuana?

QUESTION : Do I want people driving while smoking blunts?

ANSWER : No.

[Farnhamia]

And "Tan the Man" Boehner is good for the GOP image? Please.

In all honesty, I don't know many Republicans who have a good image outside of their district/state. I would like it if Frelinghuyson became speaker of the house, but politics makes it impossible since he broke the GOP Code and actually voted for the healthcare bill.

Frelinghuysen? How the hell old is he? I mean, didn't he run with Henry Clay in '44 (1844, that is)? "Hey, hey, the country's risin' for Henry Clay and Frelinghuysen!" I was living in Europe at the time but we heard about that campaign slogan.

To be fair, Arizona elected McCain, not because he's Republican, but because he's McCain. He's got a bit of a cult going in that state.

He wasn't too bad before the election, either. Something about 2008 flipped his, and everybody elses, crazy switch.

I think McCain took a lot of bad advice during the election about what would attract voters. What politicians say when they're campaigning has very little connection to what they actually believe, and I don't think McCain really believed more than about 40% of the bullshit that came out of his mouth during the 2008 campaign. He's not really crazy, just fake.

The only person I saw saying the wrong thing at the wrong time is his vice presidential candidate.

I went to the middle school named after his dad(?) and has been running my district like a train. In all honesty he knows it too well since he refused to answer questions at the debate in our district. However, knowing that he wouldn't get campaign funds he still went and was bipartisan. Though I'm 99% sure it was because he knew he wouldn't need the funding. xD

After putting in well over 200 hours of volunteer hours participating in the very bottom grassroots of this election, I am happy and justifiably proud to have done my civic and moral duty. The chips will fall where they may, but let none dare say otherwise no matter the result.

No way to OFFICIALLY measure how you're under the effects of medical marijuana.

Blood tests? (though it stays in your system for weeks)

Plus if you just COMPLETELY outlaw it yo can get those who are high. You can tell when a person's high without blood tests. Hell, maybe all this would cause a mass boost in inventions trying to get a fast message.

Fate of the California Props:

Prop 19: Legalization of the recreational use of marijuana. Would have banned employers, including the military, from firing or disciplining employees who used marijuana. Defeated.
Prop 20: Congressional districts drawn by a non partisan commission: approved
Prop 21: free entry into all state parks if you pay a new $18 vehicle fee each year. approved. (This is a good deal. For $18 a year you get access to all of the state's parks for the entire year instead of paying $50 each day you go.)
Prop 22: Ban the state from taking from schools and cities to pay for the legislature's rubber checks. approved.
Prop 23: Suspend California's Climate Change law until the economy improves. Defeated
Prop 24: Repeal tax breaks for small business owners who employ minorities: Defeated
Prop 25: Require only 51% to pass a state budget: approved
Prop 26: requires 2/3 voter approval for all local taxes and fees: approved
Prop 27: eliminate the non partisan redistricting commission: defeated

According to these votes, you can see how liberal and communistic the people of California are and just what type of government it is that Californians want to force on the rest of America.

No way to OFFICIALLY measure how you're under the effects of medical marijuana.

Blood tests? (though it stays in your system for weeks)

So no way to tell if you've had a blunt while driving or just a few hours before.

Plus, imagine how bad it would be if you got pulled over for a suspected DUI for Marijuana, and had to get your blood processed. How long would that take? Would they keep you in jail? If so, how long?

Plus if you just COMPLETELY outlaw it yo can get those who are high. You can tell when a person's high without blood tests. Hell, maybe all this would cause a mass boost in inventions trying to get a fast message.

Fast messages are rather inaccurate, and to be honest, I don't understand, as a California resident, why folks just don't stick to medical marijuana. I mean, FFS, you can go to your doctor and say that you're having "back pains" and he'd give it to you in a heartbeat.

Psssssssst. You can't drive with a drink.........

Sure. Some places the cops test drivers at random using a saliva test.
Just like breath tests for alcohol, if you fail the roadside test you can opt for a blood test (always do that, btw, you might sober up or straighten up in the meantime).

No one is trying to force anything on america, but america spending more than it can ever afford to pay.

Very much so. A Republican I respect.

I might be tempted to vote for such a person, if in doing so I were not giving tacit approval to the Republican Party. No matter how honorable the person, the modern GOP is not so and I cannot give them the least approval.

[Wiztopia]

I'm more going off the ballot results anyway. I mean come on. How can anybody vote no on legalizing medical marijuana?

It's not medicinal, it's recreational. And look again at the consequence, they'd get A LOT of funding stripped. This matter needs to be solved in D.C., else it will never change.

You obviously haven't checked the ballot at all. Both Arizona and South Dakota voted against legalizing medical marijuana. Also California wouldn't lose any funding from legalizing it. Especially considering how much they could make if they taxed it.

Just like breath tests for alcohol, if you fail the roadside test you can opt for a blood test (always do that, btw, you might sober up or straighten up in the meantime).

While waiting for the blood test, ask to see the license phlebotomist, then demand a doctor observe the procedure and request a copy of his credentials as well. Normally gets you another hour to sober up.

Are you trying to win the WTF moment award?

[Germonica]

I'm from Nevada, and I am pissed, my fellow Nevadans are mentally retarded. We have the highest unemployment rate and highest foreclosure rate, yet they re-elect him!

Which was Reid's fault, how?

Not to mention we have kept Angle out of office for two election cycles now and I'm not about to change that.

It's Reid's fault because he hasn't done shat to help us! The Bloody Wanker!

Hay, guys I would be contesting next year for election in nigeria. This you chance to test me on my policy toward the west, especially America.

Exactly. So we'd have a system incapable of tracking marijuana abuse. Ergo, increased level of DUIs, ergo, I wouldn't feel all that safe on the roads anymore.

[East Lithuania]

So no way to tell if you've had a blunt while driving or just a few hours before.

Plus, imagine how bad it would be if you got pulled over for a suspected DUI for Marijuana, and had to get your blood processed. How long would that take? Would they keep you in jail? If so, how long?

While driving, you could smell marijuana from inside the car if you've used it inside. And we already have those practices now. (In New Jersey, you HAVE to submit to a breathalyzer and police can hold you until drug dogs are called or you go with them to get tested).

Fast messages are rather inaccurate, and to be honest, I don't understand, as a California resident, why folks just don't stick to medical marijuana. I mean, FFS, you can go to your doctor and say that you're having "back pains" and he'd give it to you in a heartbeat.

Yeah but that is a lot of work and puts doctors at risk of losing their practice. FFS, why not just set heavy fines for weed used outside the house or a hooka-barish business and leave people be?

Uhhh... weed stays in your system for up to 3 weeks... an hour won't help.
