@Baldimo,
Quote Baldimo:
Quote:
The DNC support for weed has nothing to do with Liberty, it has everything to do with taxation and the cash cow they see weed for. Our current Gov in CO, owns a brewery and was against the pot law when it passed, he couldn't have competition with his own product. In the end, he changed his mind only because of the money, not the liberty of letting adults do what they want, it was about the money.


So you admit that the Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, favored the pro-legalization amendment when it was on the ballot. And the DNC favored it simply because Democrats believe that busting otherwise law-abiding people for possession of marijuana is not something the government should be doing. Try checking the facts from 2012, when the vote was taken. When the time came to cast the vote, the Democrats came through for legalization. So did the Democratic governor. The Republicans voted against it.

Marijuana amendment leads in Colorado
September 4, 2012 | Tom Jensen

Raleigh, N.C.– Colorado’s constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana usage continues to lead by a 47/38 margin, exactly what we found in the state last month. The ballot language is a little confusing so we also asked a question just in general about whether people think marijuana should be legal and 49% say yes to 43% who dissent.

Democrats (58/24) and independents (54/34) support the amendment at pretty similar levels. Republicans oppose it by a 55/30 margin.

@cicerone imposter,
From wiki.org:
Quote:
Morgan Stanley estimated that Trump's tariffs on steel, aluminum, washing machines, and solar panels, as of March 2018, covered 4.1 percent of U.S. imports.[9] The tariffs measures were poorly received by the vast majority of economists; almost 80% of 104 economists surveyed by Reuters believed that imports on tariffs on steel and aluminum imports would be a net harm to the U.S. economy, with the rest believing that the tariffs would have little or no effect; none of the economists surveyed believed that the tariffs would benefit the U.S. economy.[10]

Forty-five U.S. trade associations are urging Trump not to impose tariffs on China, warning it would be "particularly harmful" to the U.S. economy and consumers.[11]

No, I said just the exact opposite. He was against the legalization and didn't think it was good for CO until the tax money started coming in.

Don't try and confuse the politicians lack of support on the Dems, for the people who actually voted for it. It was a nice to try and save your DNC politicians though.

The Blue Wave is Crashing in 2018

Quote:
The 1st and 2nd Amendments are considered outdated and to be terminated for the sole reason of making the citizens of this country feel helpless. Many times in the past such totalitarian government such as Nazi Germany, Cambodia under Pol Pot, and others have claimed to force the banning of guns for “the children’s Safety.” Even Stalin used that excuse before murdering millions of his own people. Free speech is a fundamental right, and the progressive socialists are attempting to take that right away from the American people in all facets of life including the internet and social media such as Facebook. All forms of speech from social media to academia to entertainment is to be used as the propaganda arms to the progressive socialists. And to coarsen our culture and to mainstream evil, they have decreed pornography as free speech, but Christian teachings are not protected, and that Christians must go against the sincerely held religious beliefs that Christians use as a daily reminder of the morality that God teaches. The progressive socialists have attempted to force their hedonist agenda on all facets of American culture in the attempt to make the plan they have as normal although contrary to the beliefs of a vast majority of the American people. And that the perverse teachings about sexuality must be mandated for young children even if it must be done without parents permission.


Who wants to vote for that? A lot of people here seem to embrace the destruction of our country. After reading this they still will?

Candice Owens rips Obama, Hillary for inciting racism

This young lady is going to change a lot of minds before the midterms. Apparently no dirt has been found to discredit her, and it is unlikely there will be. I won't count out intentional lies by her critics. After all it is how they roll.

@Baldimo,
Okay Baldimo, I erred and Democratic Gov Hickenlooper did oppose the referendum legalizing marijuana in 2012.. Of course, it's a moot point since it doesn't matter if the Governor or any political leader supports or opposes a referendum, if more ballots say yes instead of no it becomes law. And outside of Tom Tancredo, Republican ex-Congressman who was out of office at referendum time, I didn't see any list of Republican leaders who supported the referendum or Democrats who opposed it. So until such time as you provide such an exhaustive list, or some evidence that most Democrat officeholders opposed the referendum, I'm just going to assume that most Democratic leaders held the same position as most Democratic voters and supported the referendum legalizing marijuana.

But you are free to provide some evidence to the contrary. Face it, the only reason pot is legal in Colorado is that the Democrats persuaded the Independents to vote as overwhelmingly for the legalization referendum the Democrats did, so the anti-legalization Republicans couldn't stop the referendum's passage.

Quote Baldimo:

Democratic Governor Hickenlooper, Chief Executive of the State of Colorado, followed all divestment requirements and no longer owned the microbrewery when the referendum was up for a vote. This is in stark contrast to the Chief Executive of Washington, DC, who has not followed divestment requirements and regards the US government as just another division of his company to milk profits from.

Candace Owens: Obama to Blame for Decline in Race Relations in America

Yes she does.
She will explain how blacks have been manipulated and that Obama did nothing for them but use their color for political gain.
Quote:
Eight years later, the barrier that had been swept away was rebuilt and reinforced. Obama and the Democrats governed as if any criticism of his policies or platforms was racist. They used the race card at every turn, in every case.

This guy is a loon. What is clear is that, despite his claims, he does not speak for the "vast majority" of Americans as he claims, but for a small minority of extreme right wingers only. the majority of the people regard him as a troglodyte.

I don't discount the claims, I just personally find it political convenient that these women are coming out now after the Cohen raid.

His Ex-wife said:

Quote:
Mr. Schneiderman’s former wife said she was taken aback by the allegations being leveled against him.

“I’ve known Eric for nearly 35 years as a husband, father and friend,” said Jennifer Cunningham, his ex-wife and frequent political strategist. “These allegations are completely inconsistent with the man I know, who has always been someone of the highest character, outstanding values and a loving father.”

Tell that to the people of CA who have twice had the will of the people overturned by sitting politicians. It's also relevant to the point that he only supported it after he saw the money from taxes, which was my original point. Politicians love the money.

An exhaustive list? I'll meet that standard when you do. See I actually live in CO and voted in every election since 2000. I know what took place, I was here. I even voted for Prop 20 in 2000 to make medical pot a thing here.

Quote:
Face it, the only reason pot is legal in Colorado is that the Democrats persuaded the Independents to vote as overwhelmingly for the legalization referendum the Democrats did, so the anti-legalization Republicans couldn't stop the referendum's passage.

The left in CO, did no such thing. Independents are independent by nature and I can tell you, the DNC didn't "convince" anyone to vote for anything. If anything, they have a habit of only influencing certain parts of CO, Denver, Boulder and Loveland/Ft. Collins.

Quote:

You are correct on that point, he sold his interests in 2007. I do stand corrected on that but it wasn't due to politics, his claim, not mine.

There are no requirements for such divestment for the President or a Governor of a State. It is usually done for optics only, that's why Hick placed his into a blind trust... I'll agree that Trump should have done the same thing, but it isn't a requirement.

Why Kanye West Terrifies the Democrat Party


Quote:
If Democrats don’t get at least 85% of the black vote, they will never win national office again.

Let me say that again: If black people decide they don’t have to be Democrats, the Democratic Party simply ceases to exist.

That’s why enormous pressure was put on Chance the Rapper to recant his thought crime, and he did. Even more pressure was put on Kanye to take back his pro-Trump tweets, which to his ever-lasting credit is something Kanye has steadfastly refused to do, and that includes a death threat…

That means that Kanye has to renounce his conservative thought crimes, he just has to.
