Yea kid...I'd toss your suffering ass in jail, probably quicker than I'd dismiss you in public.

    romney, what a prick. he just blew that guy off. totally ignored him. didn't he realize that there was a camera there? he totally came off as an ass. i guess he lost at least one vote there.

    I am all for medical buds but what do you expect this rommey to say?

    he is firmly against making a illegal narcotic, legal. the answer is yes, he will get arrested for having weed. its an illegal drug.

    i dont know, i kinda feel like we should expect him to be able to offer rational grounds for his stance, plsu evidence to support those grounds?

    I agree. I want the shit legal. If we pump morphine and countless other types of drugs, there is no reason why we cant use weed for medical purposes. I have never understood why.

    but he, surprisingly, isnt the only one against it. im sure he would have offered evidence to back up his position had he been asked in a formal way.

    what if the kid said crack?

    I didn't expect him to be rude. He would have been perfectly alright if he'd stated his party policy on the issue and continued to engage in conversation with the guy. That's not what he did. The guy in the wheelchair stated his preference for legalizing marijuanah, but that his biggest interest was in medical marijuanah and he did ask what Rommey or whatever his name is thought about the fact that the guy was in pain and that conventional medications weren't working, and that he'd had advice from several doctors that mj would help him.

    Anyway, law being what it is and all, and in my opinion wrong, but that's beside the point, how hard would it have been for Rommey to give the bloke the time of day. He had legitimate questions and obviously he's a voter. If Rommey thinks that people with illness and disability and their families aren't watching and planning how they will vote he's a fool.
    NOPE!!!

    then romney should be able to come up with a lot of reasons against crack. he can't with pot, which is why the dude got snubbed.

    i'm aware he's not the only one. i'd like to see them all hounded about it.

    What a Douchebag.

    I've never liked Romney, especially when I lived in SLC during the 02' olympics. That guy was always a prick.

    Although I'm down with keeping the Mary Jane illegal. Only because I don't want the Gov. to tax the shit out of it. Pot has been the same price for 20 years. What else has been the same price for the last 20 years? :)

    gosh he's so rich, why put himself into the breach. it's a power trip.

    What about Hilary's stance? Did she inhale or was she off reading a lawbook and wondering which beauty queen Buba was charming the tafetta out of that night?

    Yeah, Romney is a prick!

    I work in cancer research and I can't begin to tell you how many of our patients would benefit from medical marijuana. Seeing them suffer through horrible chemo regimens, losing weight, constant nausea and vomiting, pain killers not working and causing more problems then benefit, anti-emetics not working, the list goes on and on...

    It truly makes me sick! Between the pharmaceutical companies having politician's balls in a vice and religious ideologies tainting law makers I hold this political issue to a pretty high level when selecting a candidate.

    Fuck you Romney!

    we live in the world where politicians are to busy promiting their asses to as wider range of audience as possible. of course it ain't right what he did, and drugs should be available as a medicine.

    but honestly people, what do you want this politician to do, stand there and listen to this guy ask him same question over and over again with slight variations each time.

    i'm not on a politician's side, but he is not going to waste his time arguing about policy he's set.

    so I guess you feel that way about most or all of the candidates. I have yet to find one who supports medical buds.

    Who's Buba?

    I'm sure Hillary is against legalization. She's a hair to the left of centrist. I think until the baby boomers are the senior citizens we won't see any chance of weed being legalized for recreational purposes. And if not fuck them for being hippocrates!

    Well Romney is a Mormon and Mormons don't believe in ingesting any mind altering substances - not even caffeine or nicotine. So did you really think that Romney was going to be pro-medical marijuana?
