Decrying the fraud and misrepresentation which is standard operating procedure for Libertarians.
Nope, yet another misrepresentation, big surprise. I just grow sick of Libertarian lies.
But they have another way....a better way....a theoretical way.
Don't overlook all the twisted conservative panties because of expanded freedoms.
So which is it - Are Libertarians so insignificant that it's a wasted vote to support any of their candidates or are they so powerful that they can lie about projected tax revenue from pot and get it legalized?
Are Libertarians really the only ones in favor of legalizing marijuana?
I hear this a lot from the officers I know. My question is: What do you think those making money from the illegal trade will do if/when the pot revenue stream dries? Will they throw there hands up and quit? Maybe get a job? Push something harder? I agree that pot is harmless, but I don't think those in the trade are.With a few exceptions, everyone who works in my office identifies as Republican or primarily conservative. Many of them, even crusty old white guy Republicans, believe that the "legalize and tax" approach to marijuana is the right way to go. These are cops, all with at least a decade of law enforcement experience, who believe the harm of marijuana isn't worth the efforts and cash we put in to combating it and that attempts to enforce it has done little to stem its use.
Part of the sales package that they pushed was the enhanced revenue which would benefit the productive class.
Now they are running away from it. Just like all politicians it seems, no different.

Again, which is it? Libertarians wear wookie suits and are totally irrelevant which is why no one should vote for them or do they wield so much power that the voters in Colorado only voted for marijuana legalization because of the promise of additional tax revenue for the state government sold to them by Libertarians?
So criminals will turn to other crimes so we must keep this thing a crime?
The excise police still think its a crime. If its a harmless, victimless crime, doesn't it keep the streets safer to keep it as such?
I actually don't know what you are arguing here.
Do you have an example of a libertarian who participated in or condones any dishonesty in getting that bill passed?
Not just one who supported the bill, but one who was aware of any dishonesty and still supported it or participated in it?
