Gays! Guns! Abortion! Look over here at these issues! Please ignore the fact that republicans and democrats are really the same party.

They argue about the hot button issues to get our votes and legislate almost exclusively for the ppl donating the money.

The second they become legal, all drug production and distribution will be taken over by large corporations. What does that mean for the local crack dealer? There goes his entire business.

legalised drugs would be less profitable, they wont be super packing at all.

Forty-four thumbs up?

But he's trying to get money out of politics, I thought.
