Well, Ok.
I'm just surprised that a socialist gov would take time away from there cannabis long enough to consider that states may not always have the answer.
Aint I charming?

"I did not have sexual relations with that narcottic"
Lately, everything. Daschle's just way too far left for me, and I really can't see the Democrats gaining any high office for a long time. We will lose the Senate majority, we won't be US pres until 2008 maybe...and the conservatives are playing everything correctly. i still can't see supporting you guys on abortion and stem cell research, though.

M5Power, I think that you need to clarify what you mean by playing everything correctly. Is that in the sense that the decisions are more agreeable to you or that the political strategy is more impressive. And I do not think that a defeatist attitude should judge your affilliation. I think you should consider sticking with your party unless you truly are having a change in philosophy.
Well - the 'Under God' thing is something I completely agree with the conservatives on (it should be allowed).
'Defeatist' isn't the word, but I haven't been impressed by a Democrat since Bill Clinton (who, though he had his share of scandals is is a better president than W). I am somewhat impressed by Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, who's a Democrat, and I'd love it if he ran for President.
I'm still open to any 'change in philosophy.' I will never change my view on abortion or stem cell research, but I've always been against Social Security, and the politicians and the media help shape any other views I get - but it's the Republicans making it sound more fair. (Have I already mentioned I hate Tom Daschle? That oughta say it all, since he's the highest-ranking Democrat right now).

Probably greater than 90% of US conservatives are not socialists.
