Palin to the left of the Obami on pot?

Why would this surprise anyone?  Palin is part of the "leave us alone" coalition which holds that what you do to yourself in your own home is your business.  The Obami run the "we own your ass" coalition which holds that all powers not expressly given to the Federal government are its to hand out as it sees fit to the states or the people.  A sort of Bizzaroworld constitution if you will.

JOE BIDEN: Pat Robertson is a squishy pothead-lover. “The more glaring concern for Biden and Obama is that come 2012, there could be several Republicans running for president who are more progressive on pot. Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, and Gary Johnson have all expressed support for drastically reforming marijuana laws. (Johnson and Paul are in favor of legalization, Palin said she supports a person’s right to use it in their home.) You also have establishment Republicans and Tea Party groups citing the 10th Amendment argument for repealing health care–the same argument most libertarians cite when calling for the repeal of the Controlled Substances Act and allowing states to legislate their own drug laws.”

Plus this: “In the unlikely event that someone primaries Obama from the left, I’ll bet money that person agrees more with Pat Robertson than with Joe Biden.”

Power elites hate liberty the way wicked witches hate water:  it dissolves them (or at least their power)
