But I completely understand what he's talking about...

Type out "crawfish" on any phone or computer with spell check and it turns to "crayfish" calling them crayfish is much more common that crawfish.


Like Mirlitons being Chayote squash everywhere else.

I had to read that three times. If that poster is really mad that people don't stop at blinking yellow lights then he needs to give up his license.

Embarrasing was the word I was referring to. He is argumentative and typical. I am for decriminalizing more than legalization and I don't always vote for the people that agree with me on this one issue. I find it more funny that the left wants state sovereignty from the fed on weed but would vote time and time again for ACA and other BS regulation.

Unfortunately this. The only differences are pretty much stances on trivial social issues.

I'm a big Rand fan, but he'll likely never get the support needed. The rest of the republican field seems to just be running on the "I'm not Obama" platform without bringing much else to the table.

Yep.

Crayfish is a lot more common. The guy was obviously joking by pretending to want laws in Louisiana for things he knows nothing about, much like Fleming wants laws in Colorado he knows nothing about.

Fleming 0, Colorado 1


ETA:

I can't watch video at work, did Fleming really say people OD from pot? This world is so stupid its mind blowing. Stupidity alone is bad, but stupid and stubborn is what we have with these old school republicans.

Rand vs Sanders would be the only election where people actually got to pick a politician that actually believes what they say. But neither would make the primary.

Trivial to whom?

I bet there are people that would die for their causes around gay marriage, abortion, and marijuana legalization on both sides.

Referring to children having access to weed baked good and candies and having to go to the hospital for treatment. Again, I don't agree with him on this subject but if there is a congressman that has any idea about the medical hazards of using drugs/addiction, Fleming has a background in his medical history on the subject.

AHHHHHH I hate people.


Thing is, I'm very fiscally conservative and Republican in that sense. However, the Republican social policy is stuck in 1950. Its embarrassing. Who cares if gay people want to marry? They aren't forcing your church to marry them. This won't affect you at all.

Marijuana legalization is supported by the majority of this country now. It has proven to not be lethal, addictive, or a catalyst for crime. It generates tax revenue and helps limit drug arrests for our over crowded prisons.

Wake up repubs. Wake up.

Whatever credibility he had is now gone after this argument. I know some dumb fricking doctors FYI.

To be fair, and as a Dem. I think most Repubs think along the lines of Reagan and Bush Sr. The thing is now, they fee they have to cater to their conservative wing as the only way to soundly win, the same can be said for the dems and the liberal wing (though less so IMO). I think most Republicans aren't as hot on the issues, but the issues are used to excite and cause the conservatives to make noise.
It's a crying shame that so many choose politicians based on trivial matters and not the meat and potatoes of the issues.

Dumb may not be the right word for a doctor who came from nothing, got his bacholers and MD and owns over 30 subways and several UPS stores. I have met and talked to him over 10 times and he is pretty smart guy. You may not agree with him (I don't either on this subject) but he speaks his mind and will vote conservative more than most repubs in the house.

This is actually true. CO hospitals have had to stock up on Oreos and Adult Swim videos to deal with the epidemic.
