3 years and 10 days by my count.

Certainly not a majority. The one in circulation now is not well funded, it will not succeed. I think it's unlikely to get on the ballot. Gavin Newsom will bring the full weight of the California democratic party behind his amendment. I think that is necessary for success. Richard Lee actually...

I always back legalization efforts no matter what. Prop 19 would have likely fucked me over if it had passed, but I supported it anyways. I will support this one too even though no details are available yet. Sometimes the biggest enemy of legalization are people in our community. Voting...

Maybe, but generally they run ballot initiatives like this only during presidential elections. More liberals vote during presidential elections than off year elections. I think running a legalization initiative during a mid term election is a bad idea. Losing these ballot initiatives makes it...

There was one for alcohol during prohibition too. Most people now buy their alcohol in stores though. Which should become easier for dealers and growers if we have legalization. "I smell marijuana" will no longer be probable cause to perform police searches so even dealing and black market...

It won't pad his pockets. It will pad his resume. Newsom is doing this because he knows legalization is inevitable and he's trying to take the credit for something that is going to happen soon enough anyways. Newsom is a future presidential prospect. He will run for governor soon. Guys like...

Well you can legally grow your own then if that's the case. Everyone should support legalization. Do it for our people in prison and the ones who will go to prison if we don't get it. Yes there will be taxes but it's a small price to pay for being a step closer to ending the drug war.

Thinking McCain is a liberal just shows how ridiculous you are. Keep up the good work. Your insanity is the reason liberalism will dominate for a generation.

Regulation isn't a dirty word. Lack of regulation just collapsed the economy and you're still pretending regulation is a dirty word. Keep up the good work. You're fooling no one, only marginalizing your own view point. No no. YOUR generation voted for a president who put two wars on a credit...

For all practical purposes, you're just another republican weather you choose to admit it or not.

Right. The older generation seems to have it all figured out. They outsourced all our jobs, ran up massive debts, started unnecessary wars, fought against equal rights for gey people, destroyed the environment, etc. Yeah, pardon me if I don't turn to that generation for wisdom.

I didn't propose any purity test. I'm simply saying that if you vote for republicans 100% of the time, then you're a republican. You may be a "conservative" republican, but you're still a republican. If you find that this happens to you 100% of the time, then you're a republican.

Agreed. Another reason why someone who votes republican 100% of the time but says "I'm not a republican, I'm a conservative" is just being completely ridiculous. I've heard of conservative democrats. I haven't heard of any post southern strategy liberal republicans. Maybe a few social...

There is no way he'd come out and say he was doing this if he didn't have a plan. It won't ruin his political career at all. Legalization is growing in popularity in all the polls. It's coming. He wants to take credit for it. Once legalization arrives and the world doesn't end, it it almost...

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom will head the American Civil Liberties Union's new panel studying marijuana legalization in California, with an eye toward drafting a measure for 2016's presidential-year ballot. "Enough's enough. I can't sit back and support the status quo any longer," Newsom said in a...

Gavin Newsom will be putting an initiative on the ballot for 2016 legalizing recreational use in California. With his support, this is guaranteed to pass. Recreational legalization is coming to Cali in 2016...

I know right? Lazy conservatives just like to leech off the hard working liberals in this country.

So contest something I've specifically said that you think is not a fact and I'll provide evidence. That's who it works. Unless you can do that all you're really saying is "boohoo, I'm a but hurt republican". Sorry, I don't play republican rebranding games. You can call yourself what ever you...

I'm fouled by the Tyranny of Documented Results, not the press. If you look at the RESULTS of FDR and the liberal era of prosperity that followed, then look at the RESULTS of Reagan and the conservative era of decline that followed, well then it's pretty obvious which worked out better. That...

I didn't say they did. However there were enough southern conservative democrats to make it veto proof. Check the vote and you'll see I'm right.
