Why I will vote and I will vote ANYTHING BUT REPUBLICAN - followed by ANYTHING BUT CONSERVATIVE - followed by...Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 10/29/2010 - 15:51.
These poll results, just released today, explain why I will vote and I will vote ANYTHING BUT REPUBLICAN - followed by ANYTHING BUT CONSERVATIVE - followed by ANYTHING BUT 65+ OLD FART... those groups of people are found by most recent Gallop polling to be most likely to be flat-Earther anti-science tools of industry and are not welcome as leaders of my society. Those I will seek out to vote for will be, in the following order, LIBERALS, THOSE 18-49, from the WEST, DEMOCRATIC and INDEPENDENT, as they poll as most real about public health, liberty, economics and freedom... which is what the issue of legalization of marijuana and hemp is all about. How I shall ultimately cast my most important ballot is with my feet, choosing to move where I find people most like myself, being liberal, Independent, young (at heart) and West... until Ohio shakes its old-fart conservative Flat Earther failure and gets real. In Northeast Ohio, we have poor choices for office in most races - I blame the Ohio and regional Democratic parties for that - a conservative Southern 69 year old fart flat Earther for Governor, conservative old farts for Senate and on down the line - pathetic. But better to vote for them than risk placing society in the hands of conservative Republican Southern old fart flat Earthers or their ilk. Next election, the Democratic Party must offer voters younger, smarter, more liberal candidates who will better represent the ideals of real Americans and offer a better future for this great nation, beyond the hater, ignorant, industrial failure of our past and present - who will bring out the future leaders of America and the world to vote, and believe in change again. For now, intelligent people must vote and vote Democratic or Independent (and Green), however poor our choices may be. That may be how garbage like McFaul, Russo, DimAura, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., got in office here, but the alternatives are even more unacceptable, being the further loss of freedom and sanity for the suffering people of the nation and the world we ruin.
Arguments for and against legalizing marijuana -- for personal or medical use -- are likely to continue for years to come. Even if Proposition 19 wins in California on Nov. 2, as state law it will still come up against federal law, which bans the growth and sale of marijuana. Support for making the drug legal in general, however, is growing among Americans. The public is almost evenly split this year, with 46% in favor and 50% opposed. If the trend of the past decade continues at a similar pace, majority support could be a reality within the next few years. Survey Methods
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Oct. 7-10, 2010, with a random sample of 1,025 adults, aged 18 and older, living in the continental U.S., selected using random-digit-dial sampling. Each question reported here was asked of a half-sample of approximately 500 national adults. For results based on these total samples of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±5 percentage points. Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones (for respondents with a landline telephone) and cellular phones (for respondents who are cell phone-only). Each sample includes a minimum quota of 150 cell phone-only respondents and 850 landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas among landline respondents for gender within region. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday. Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, education, region, and phone lines. Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2009 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in continental U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

70%+ favor making marijuana legally available to prescribe
Note, these poll results above are to the question: 19. Do you think the use of marijuana should be made legal, or not?- in other words, full, complete legalization like alcohol. Responses are within the 95% confidence margin of error (4%) where more than 50% of all American adults may already vote in favor of total legalization...
Regarding Medical Marijuana nation-wide:
Disrupt IT
we will be one of the last states to legalize medical marijuana
Norm,
All of your great ideas get flushed away in this city/state. We are dealing with incompetents.
Up in smoke-and not marijuana smoke
I think realNEO can make it happen in Ohio in 2011
I think realNEO can make it happen in Ohio in 2011 - would have happened in 2010 if our leaders weren't such a bunch of sell-out, ignorant, low-class cowards.
Now the cowards can be scared of not legalizing cannabis, and realNEO, all the way up to 2012.
Disrupt IT
stimulate the economy - legalize marijuana
create jobs while assisting those with medical problems.
a no brainer. Hopefully we can get rid of the incompetents in this election and get some "Hope and Change."
I am rapidly losing faith for any real change in this area.
They squandered the "stimulus" era
They squandered the "stimulus" era - our leaders have had access to so much money the past few years and we have nothing to show for it - and the money shall now dry up and the screws will tighten on government and industry here - it will get ugly, and everyone will need to get high just to keep from offing themselves and each other.
But wait... the towpath trail is nearly complete... just $50 million more and the suburban bikers can reach the casino.... win big money with those high-rolling out of town x-ray salesmen.
A strategy only a blue haired 69 year old zonked southern Ohio coal miners son could love....
That will surely save Cleveland.
