This is the same guy that asked Ron Paul how he would treat medical marijuana patients and referred to his encounter with Romney in this video.

I upvoted to show what a typical political ass he is.

I'll be happy to push this one over to the front page.

scum. how can you be that politiciany?

this is least of all the reasons that Mitt Romney is a jackass unfit to be president of anything.

It's disgusting. Arresting people for smoking marijuana.

It doesn't get much lower or stupider than that.

Mormons hate sick people.

Sick people hate Mormons.

Good.

Mitt Romney will drop out, as he should, and then he'll tell his wife to be subservient and engage in bestiality with him.

isn't ignorance fun? lets have more fun.

this video doesn't have anything to do with Romney being a Mormon and has everything to do with him being a political douche.

I have a feeling there are a lot of pot heads here on the sift. But I also think there are some people that benefit from medical Mary Jane. Romney handled the situation very well, but could have said there are some extreme cases where pot can help.

And to Vairetube, I hope you don't really believe in what you just said. I doubt Romney will drop out, after all, the last time i checked he was one of the most favored conservative candidates.

Edit: Ron Paul did have the right answer though, some people do need it. (in the above mentioned video)

It's not left to chance. Marijauna is an artificial drug made in a lab for profit and helps nothing and destroys your chance at heaven.

To deduce that someone is intelligent or otherwise by merely looking at them is absurd. The phrase "looking sharp" is cringe-worthy.

In Romney's defense (never thought i would say that) I think this video proves little and is just calculated political garbage. Was he short with him, yes though in a hurry I guess its law that a handicap person deserves more time. Was it tactless sure but the question "Will you arrest me?"...seriously you're asking a possible (sorry i just snickered) president of the united states if he is going to arrest you as you sit in a wheelchair and your friend Mr. Camera guy demands an answer. I think he had guts to look that poor suffering guy in the face and say "I dont believe in medical marijuana". I dont agree with him but it showed he has a principle but everyone wants to jump on it just because they disagree with him about how heartless he is. In the end Mitt is doomed, i sure as hell wouldnt vote for him, but this video is a cheap shot that doesnt sway my opinion of him at all.

"I am completely against legalizing it for everyone."

Yeah, well then FUCK YOU buddy. Roll your ass off a long pier for all I care ya fucking HYPOCRITE!

I think that bud is pretty good.
that aside, mr. romney, after being stopped on his way out, did give the sick dude a fair amount of time, answered his question, and politely continued his journey.

I smoked pot twice and disliked it enough that I never made it a habit. Still, I think its insane that anybody should ban its medical use.

I don't believe marijuana is this miracle plant that some claim it to be, but its retarded how demonised it is. Its a drug... big fucking deal. We take drugs ALLLLLL the fucking time. Somehow we put up with antisocial alcohol that is more damaging to our short and long term health, and yet smoking this plant sends you straight to hell. I drugged up twice today too. On caffeine. And lets not forget morphine, that wonderful painkiller that oh, just by the way, is an opiate. Where was the crusade against that? NO MORPHINE FOR OUR TROOPS. ITS A GATEWAY TO CANNABIS.

This is the least of my worries about R-money (@bareboards2, look what you made do!).

Yeah, he's a dick, but let's face it, Obama isn't lining up to endorse medical marijuana either.

Aw. Sorry.

Mitt lost a great opportunity with his answer.

Sad that in this day of age that this is a crime. Pot hurts no one.

Should there be some limits - sure.

You should be able to grow your own - in reasonable quantities. If you have minors the keep you grow or stash under lock and key.

Just to keep it the same as alcohol you should be over 21 to consume.

Fines should be minimal if needed.

To me, this isn't about Romney's stance on the issue of marijuana, it's about the utter lack of empathy. Unfortunately he's practiced enough to know that he needs to run away from a situation like this, for fear that it may expose his heartlessness.

Real people don't react this way to situations like this.

And NOW, with the current situation in play and we now know how Mitt feels for a vast swath of America. He most likely ALSO hated this person in a wheelchair for being disabled too.

Really there isn't a way to defend him unless you have truly given up your intelligence and given fully into opinion and ignorance, because it makes your stomach more "fuzzy".

Too many people now in America need to wake up to the reality of what this world REALLY IS! There isn't a unicorn. There isn't a mystical force stopping rape pregnancies. There isn't a magical non-person free-market that just regulates itself into pure equality and use for all. There is no Gods, which leaves you with a SERIOUS question NO MATTER WHAT FAITH you belong to, is there a God at all? The two-party setup is a mere cultural and sociological play of what is essentially a difference in people's fundamental psychology. Though we like to pretend conservative or liberal values are MORE than they really are, they are illusions created by our minds--as fake as any religion other than YOURS... That last word, really, really should mean something to somebody that doesn't quite get psychology and the absolute BLANKET and hallucinatory world it can proceed to give to our brains that is just as real as reality--so if you understand psychology is a POTENT little thing that runs our lives...

Mitt is just as lost as everyone else. Not only does he do what his idiotic psychology tells him to do, completely being an ass. But, he is fully unaware that he is FULLY inside the grip of ignorance and his own self-created ego trip. That is why it is so utterly hard to reach any of these people and talk to them about a TRUE compromise or negotiation. They just say the words and nod their heads, but you never truly got through to a person that understands themselves OR more importantly reality, even to the smallest extent.

This is why education is so vitally important, because we MUST give our kids the tools necessary to be able to make the final leap in self-consciousness that for some reason so many seem to never get there and get sidelined in the various vices of life--or more precisely the mind and your psyche.

Some people are just a record, playing in a loop. The rest are playlists, with thousands, or perhaps hundreds of songs. BUT, the people that UNDERSTAND are the people that can design the program that makes the playlists and moreover they make the music that those with the playlists or the record listen to. THAT is the difference.

They are the ones beckoning to you to LEARN, not to CHANGE, but to LEARN! Change will come when you see like they do...

Mitt had no reason to be like that. Something tells me if Mitt truly ever talked a mental health professional he would be diagnosed with something... Just my guess (like narcissistic personality disorder--but, I'd have to see even more of Mitt to be certain).
