Why not?
That's just a list of people who filed so far. RP wouldn't be on there. Can't be in 2 places at once.
the LP wont take him as second fiddle.
he will have to run independent like '08.
LP ran Barr/Root(i woulda preferred Root/Barr)

Disco, do you think that the states would not legalize?
I'm not certain on the history, but how did alcohol prohibition end? Was it in the same manner as Paul is proposing, federal and then states followed suit, or was it declared legal in one shot from federal level to state?
so federal legalization means an constitutional amendment affirming no state shall in any way regulate marijuana?
because when Dr. Paul says "i would like to see the federal government legalize it and allow the states to regulate it like alcohol" that is somehow inadequate for you?
CSA (along with it's evil spawn, DEA) is an act of congress. The fact that Nixon played a leadership role pales to the fact that CSA became congressional act.as for the executive executing many agencies/bureaus have been created and destroyed by the executive(including but not limited to the DEA) it's part of what the executive does.
Maybe it's because you bank on less than accurate interpretation.you really are trying hard to paint the only candidate for either party that supports legalization as some sort of closet drug warrior.
i just can't figure out why?
... He's saying his fed wouldn't tell you no but his fed wouldn't tell you yes. He says he'd leave matters to the states and it would depend on which state you reside.
Nowhere could you possibly establish, much less conclude my comments have anything to do with Bush, Obama or Anslinger.you wont ever convince anyone the current incarnation of bush is somehow on our side when it comes to MJ or MMJ so why try to paint our only supporter in the race as an anslinger?
not so much what you would do as what you would want done by your representative..I don't get why you're making this about me or what I'd do. This is about Ron Paul. My initial comment regards Paul's rhetoric.
you have been proven wrong on this but you go back to the well..CSA (along with it's evil spawn, DEA) is an act of congress. The fact that Nixon played a leadership role pales to the fact that CSA became congressional act.
http://www.justice.gov/dea/history.htmhe Drug Enforcement Administration was created by President Richard Nixon through an Executive Order in July 1973 in order to establish a single unified command to combat "an all-out global war on the drug menace." At its outset, DEA had 1,470 Special Agents and a budget of less than $75 million. Today, the DEA has nearly 5,000 Special Agents and a budget of $2.02 billion.
never said they could sportThat doesn't say Paul can't lead Congress into repealing CSA. But I say he won't. Primarily because a Paul presidency doesn't appear to be in the cards. Partly because I don't subscribe to your interpretation that one man can repeal CSA.
the fact his fed wouldn't tell states what to do becomes symbolic where states and or counties say no.
not so much what you would do as what you would want done by your representative..
you see that is how the country works we have representatives.
I'm glad you have a favorite.i believe that Dr. Paul is the candidate that represents most closely my stance on marijuana.
The concept isn't as complex as you're attempting.of course Dr. Paul as president cant tell states what to do.
nor could any other president.
your comment suggests duplicity on Dr. Pauls part when he says he would legalize at the federal level.
there is no duplicity.
Sometimes I imagine you steering a bike from the sidecar.you have been proven wrong on this but you go back to the well..
here is a refresher from the DEA's website.
argue with them on how it was created..

so ill ask again (and you won't answer)
what would you have your representative (in the exec. branch)do to forward legalization?
The people are the problem. People are flawed, and with the value system in America. The problems are only further exacerbated.
This culture encourages excess and greed, with no regard for other variables. Such as the environment or the individual.
People are not assets to be exploited, nor is nature. Until our attitudes change the world is due to fail. People have so much in this country and appreciate so little. We don't care for each other, let alone other species.
Technology cannot solve everything. It's nice to blame the politicians, bankers, military, etc....but we all need to accept responsibility and change ourselves.
What's the saying. "Be the change you wish to see"
Ultra-Liberal hypocrites are ruining this country from the comfort of gated communities.
Nature never intended for the weak and stupid to survive, yet they thrive in our society. They breed and destroy like root aphids with cash rewards for doing so. Most hard working people that have some self pride and dont want a handout, struggle to survive. All while the lazy fucks lay around, make babies and watch TV shows glorifying the fact that you can sue anyone for anything.
You want to make a million dollars in America? Make some ridiculous item to sell to all the stupid fucks. Remember that looking "cool" is #1 on their list of priorities. They will cough up their entire welfare check for the latest fad. The childrens can eat next month, right?
My suggestion- "Grillz" for dogs
Or an all night taxi service that accepts EBT and crack at 2x the price
Anytime you like humans with animals, you say more about yourself.
The idea you can put a price tag on what others want misses the point that all economic indicators show opportunity slipping away from the working poor and middle class.
Humans are mammals. Mammals are animals.
You said it, not me.Yeah? Well thats great, but I have no idea what your talking about.
I know - equals some humans are animals.
And the rest are what, fish?
You're just a layoff or health crisis away from experiencing what others have for a long time. And I certainly hope that you and yours never have to experience hardship from no fault of your own.
I made no reference to those experiencing layoffs or health crisis. Im talking about the growing majority who have made created a "culture" of laziness and entitlement.
I have worked hard to create my own destiny. I take care of me and mine, and I refuse to be a burden on others. Unlike many in this country, I have some pride. And the day I depend on a governmental agency to get by is the day I go bungee jumping without the bungee.
If you are offended by that in any way, feel free to click the NO button in the lower right hand corner.
@ F. Dupp
It's obvious that you feel pretty sure about what is causing our issues.
To me however, it's just another example of the selfishness and lack of care for others that is causing this world to fall apart, especially in America. People have been acting like it's everyone for themselves, and it's the end of the world. It feels like people are just running through the world looting.
There are many forms of social welfare, besides EBT. Education for one. What about corporate welfare? Companies that have profiteered from the last decade plus of the most recent wars, security state expansion, and defense related spending. Bankers that extracted vast amounts of wealth from the economy and kept it idle in their accounts.
I'm trying to be happy, and live the life I want to see. Best of luck to all of you.
