Republicans: The party of divisiveness.
In other much more important US political news Washington voted to legalize pot possession and gay marriage.
I have one nagging concern about legalizing pot especially after listening to Geoff Courtnall on the radio several weeks ago. He is one of the head honchos at the Archie Courtnall mental health facility in Victoria and according to him a vast number of patients there are suffering from mental problems caused by pot. Albeit probably a small percentage of users, many have no tolerance for it and it just puts them right off the rails.
I don't think so, I believe it's caused by the inherent properties of marijuana. Any experts care to jump in? I just don't see how Geoff's political position has anything to do with it.
I have deliberately refrained from commenting much on all the threads about the U.S. election. Too much boneheadedness on both sides. Now after that great thumping speech by Obama early this morning (where's *that* guy been for four years?) I am manfully resisting the temptation to direct a few "neener neener neeners" at the boneheads on the right.
Don't forget to clairify that you mean The State of Washington (along with colorado) approved this and not the White House slang 'washington dc".............
First order of Business for Obama is to create 1 job.. Another Government appointee.. lol Secretary Of Business

Glad you're worried about 1000 years from now. Guess you're not thinking of the current crop of children.
It's the Bamster who'll have to move to the middle if he wants to get things done; just like Clinton had to.
from kate:
...the next four years are sure to bring blogging gold. Remember - he inherited this mess.
That is the snicker this morning... four more years to clean up the mess from the last four.
It was legalized, not made mandatory. Besides, it just gets the state troopers off your back, the feds will still enforce pot as an illegal narcotic.
What a boneheaded comment.
I don't think there would have been much difference whether cardboard cut-out A or cardboard cut-out B would have won. For you greenies, expect to get a major stabbing in the back over the pipeline now that the election is done.
I'm of the mind that BC just might make a move sooner than that, petros. We'll see. Could be a vote getter for CC.
If the Republicans continue to obstruct Obama, it will be at their political peril and I am quite sure the saner and more political savvy among them know that. A majority of American voters understood that Obama was not alone in his inability to 'fix' the economy.
A breakdown of the vote - who voted for whom, etc - clearly shows that the Republican party has a lot of work to do if they wish to expand their voter base.
Well aren't you just a little ball of sunshine.
Nothing is settled. The struggle will go on without end. What my side must realize is that the established political regime is in the hands of hostile tribes that mean to use them like livestock.
Oh it's divided all right. White men vs women and people of color.......which group do you think has the bigger numbers?
[QUOTE]The Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives. That means nothing changes. The House will block the Obama agenda.[/QUOTE]
See my previous post.
Hoping your president fails, dooms your country to four more years of economic stagnation. I can't believe that you would put your hatred for a man - your President at that - above the love of your country.
I am really surprised that the people thought Romney would win. Also some are saying
the votes need to be counted. You are right about that I think its a hell of a waste of
taxpayers dollars to count the last few votes that won't make a difference but then again
every vote should be counted.
I think the political right thought the American people would throw Obama out for his
actions. Actually they supported Obama because they understood he was cleaning up
the Bush Administration's mess that will take years to clean up. They understood cutting
red tape leads to greed the same as over regulation leads to a sluggish economy.

The majority is poorly educated.
Don't ask foolish rhetorical questions.
I hope Obama suffers political calamity. For people like me there is no longer a future in the context of the existing political order.
I thought we were friends.
The Republican House of Representatives will stymie Obama because the conservative base won't let them. Besides, the next election is two years away and Sequestration, Tax Increases, and the Debt Limit cliff happen at the end of this year.
The US is a political regime who's time has come and gone as a coherent philosophical idea.
Well aren't you just a little ball of sunshine.
I think Obama's election will increase the number of radicalized conservatives.
