Libertarian Republican John Dennis: "I Support Prop 19" (Full Legalization Of Weed)

TurdTenderloin · 10-07-2010, 01:32 PM

From the San Francisco Journal:

Not so for John Dennis. The San Francisco Republican - a frequent attendee of Tea Party events who is waging a perhaps quixotic war to unseat most-powerful San Franciscan Nancy Pelosi, to whom he has referred as a "wicked witch" - made a campaign stop Sunday at the Cow Palace, where the International Cannabis and Hemp Expo was in full swing. His campaign even altered its signage for the marijuana-appropriate occasion: instead of red, white and blue, the name John Dennis was featured next to Rastafarian red, gold and green. Instead of a star, there's a pot leaf.

The new signage caught Dennis slightly off guard: "Volunteers in my campaign came up with the idea," he said. "I didn't even know they had made the posters [until the weekend], but I think it's definitely appropriate for the venue."

Dennis spent "about an hour" at the event on Sunday. While not every attendee was a San Francisco voter, Dennis says he was met with nothing but kindness and support.

"People were very mellow," he said. "They were pleased we were picking up on this issue."

While he says he neither partakes nor promotes use of the miracle plant - "I'm not telling people to go out and smoke pot, but if you do, it's your choice and your responsibility" - the Pacific Heights resident has made his support of marijuana semi-legalization measure Proposition 19 no secret. He's attended Americans for Safe Access meetings, and endorsed Proposition 19 as early as July.

However, Sunday's stop was a definite step towards embracing the medical cannabis community, a voting bloc few would associate with the Tea Party movement. But for Dennis, it makes perfect sense.

"In 23 years in the House, what has Nancy Pelosi done for that crowd?" Dennis asked.

"80 percent of San Francisco voters say they think marijuana should be legal. She's out of step [with her constituency]."

See Gomt, what's your precious skeletal faced nacy pelosi ever done for anyone on the left?

TurdTenderloin · 10-07-2010, 01:44 PM

LOL "skeletal faced"

Yet there are uneducated people here like Sheikh who say the Tea Parties are "christian, anti-islam, neocons".

It's just shameful that an excellent Liberty-oriented Tea Party candidate is in SHEIKH'S OWN STATE and he doesn't even know that John Dennis is a pro-legalization, pro-gay rights, pro-liberty candidate.

And GOMT? Every Tea Party candidate is a "religious right conservative" Huh? It's just shameful to be that uninformed...

TurdTenderloin · 10-07-2010, 01:54 PM

SHEIKH

The Tea Party candidate in your own STATE is a pro-liberty, pro-legalization, pro-gay rights, pro-religious liberty (that includes Muslims) Republican!

You fucking uninformed moron! LOOK AT YOUR OWN STATE'S RACES.

TurdTenderloin · 10-07-2010, 01:56 PM

Miles, what do you think about this?

TurdTenderloin · 10-07-2010, 02:14 PM

Sheikh,

Do you know that the Tea Party candidate for Congress IN YOUR OWN FUCKING STATE is an anti-war, pro-legalization candidate?

You need to study a little bit before you post your stupid shit. LOOK AT YOUR OWN FUCKING STATE'S RACES. CHECK OUT JOHN DENNIS, AND YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU DISAGREE WITH HIM ON THE ISSUES.

I'll be waiting for your response....

BUMP

I want this answered by Sheikh and GOMT

California is a liberal state and has had very liberal marijuana laws for awhile. This isn't some new Libertarian/Tea Party thing, the guy is from SF the liberal heartland where his constituents all would prefer full legalization of marijuana. SF has also been historically anti-war, for decades.

The Tea Party is a racist neocon organization, and it's member base are just ignorant uneducated people who don't know anything and are dragooned by sound bites and slogans they don't understand

Turd is what I would call easily suggestible.

I think it's partly genetic, and partly by upbringing.

I think he had a breakdown.

TurdTenderloin · 10-07-2010, 03:32 PM

Sheikh is someone I call demonstrably uninformed (as per this thread and others). Its not genetic, its just laziness.

Bjjjj is someone who I would call dumber than shit balls on a sidewalk. Im undetermined if it is Scottish inbreeding or something else. Sorry Bjjjj...

I don't need to watch the video to know I'd vote for John Dennis.

I wold LITERALLY vote for Adolf Hitler or Satan before voting to re-elect Pelosi.

For 2 very easily digestible reasons.

1. We don't KNOW what Hitler or Satan would do....we DO know what Nancy Pelosi would do..the same as she's done before and Hitler or Satan couldn't do much worse.

and

2. Nancy Pelosi's district is worth 1 vote out of 435 in congress...HOWEVER with HER sitting in it she CONTROLS THE FEDERAL AGENDA...no matter WHO gets elected, if it's not Nancy Pelosi...that power is BROKEN. They will not inherant the Speaker of the House Position.

Turd, you do know Rand Paul is a closet Zionist and Zionist panderer ?

You do comprehend that by "special relationship", he means billions in aid and turning a blind eye to Israeli aggression and war crimes.

You do know that Rand has admitted to not being a Libertarian, and simply try to use the label to garner votes. He is an idealogical chameleon , phony politician.

Does Rand have anything to say about settlements ? Nope.

Rand says absolutely NOTHING about the Palestinians, does not even acknowledge them AT ALL in his "position paper". It is as if they don't exist. Classical GOP/Neocon stance.

Rand is a Zionist supporter - and an ignoramus like George W.Bush.
