I’ve been trying to tell you that it’s time to get out in front of this issue.
And now … it’s too late.
Some pollsters and party officials say Democratic candidates in California are benefiting from a surge in enthusiasm among young voters eager to back Proposition 19, which would legalize marijuana in certain quantities and permit local governments to regulate and tax it.
Party strategists and marijuana-legalization advocates are discussing whether to push for similar ballot questions in 2012 in Colorado and Nevada—both expected to be crucial to President Barack Obama’s re-election—and Washington state, which will have races for governor and seats in both houses of Congress.
Its not just that, of course – Democrats are also hoping marijuana legalization will provide the revenues to keep Big Government going a bit longer. Boil it down, and the Democrats’ hope is that if they can legalize the process whereby people ruin their lives, they’ll reap electoral benefit. That does really say is all about the rank immorality of the Democrat party these days – and keep in mind that I favor legalization of marijuana…I just don’t have any desire to have the GOP benefit from such a thing…
