who did not vote for Obama voted for legalization. Since the neither the DNC nor the President has actually stood up for legalization both remain in step with GOP policy.
It's only the calcified 'faith community' and other saps in both Parties that support the status quo. The rest see money and medicine and industry and think the old skool cats are idiots, some Republican some Democrats, but idiots all.
If one Party came out for legalization, they'd win tons of support. Hope it is our Party that does so.
