I was visiting a Right Side blog looking for their take on Legalization in Colorado and Washington State. And I couldn’t find a word on the subject at the blog I checked. So I wrote the editor of he site a letter.
Not a word about the Legalization Votes
And what they mean for the future of the Republican Party.
Doom. Think FDR1932.
Not a word from NetRightDaily.com and it is 4 days since the election.
The Republicans are now branded as the “War On” Party. Vaginas – 51% of the population. Weed smokers (lifetime 50% of the population and a majority of the youth cohort). And zero effort to change the brand (of course in reality Ds are running a war on the economy – but for political purposes they claim to only be warring on 1%).
I’m Jewish. I patronize a tobacco store run by Mohammed (odd huh? – but I made him a friend over time) and Mohammed told me that the Republican stance on abortion turned him away. Funny that, eh? And BTW Mohammed sells a LOT of bongs. “For tobacco use only.”
How did the “small government” party morph into a big government “War On” Party? Did you ever think that the people you propose making a war on might work against you? That Richard Nixon is not your friend?

In that vein here is an interview with the guy behind the legalization effort in Colorado. Note what the discussion turns to at about 5:50 into the video. How legalization might affect voting patterns when it comes to the parties.
My take on all this? Both Parties are terminally stupid. But the left wins elections.

The Republicans were not running a war on women. This was done to the Republicans by Obama’s media.
At the same time the Republicans were trying to restrict abortion done for the sake of sex selection, which affects – kills – mostly girls (and further down the line, single men). There we had an actual “war on women” with a body count.

which is what exactly?
If we keep killing our children, we don’t have a civilization anyway.
It’s actually the one issue I’m willing to die over, just as I would have given my life to end slavery had I lived 150 years ago.

Zim et. al.,
The Republicans have made abortion central to their political identity. It is a vote loser.
And on top of that banning abortion will work no better than Drug Prohibition.
In addition – depending on how abortion is defined a number of contraceptive practices may be banned as well.
Why not handle the whole thing in the private sector?

Not only was our current Democrat governor against it but we were bombarded with anti-legalization radio ads jointly made by the two previous governors, Bill Ritter(D) and Bill Owens (R).
Anecdotally, most of my older neighbors in central Denver – all staunch Democrats – were against legalization. Considering the margin of victory, there must have been an awful lot of younger people of all political bents voting yes.
Capitalist,
Making war on the youth is a losing proposition. If you consider the war started in ’70 and affected all youth over the age of 10 at that time, that would be an age cohort of 20 to 50. Half the voters? I could believe that.
