Giving lip service to stuff is fine. But when it comes to ACTION...neither party does what they promise on social issues.
The COURTS do.
Hell, the ONLY reason that any of the states are legalizing pot is just so THEY can make money by taxing it. They didn't do it because people should be free...
The only time that politicians on either side do something that has to do with a "social" issue is when they are dragged kicking and screaming into it, OR if it means the govt. can tax something and get bigger.  |
This is why I find it so amusing when the tea party types insist on labeling Obama as a tree hugging socialist. The man is a right leaning centrist who's positions are clearly to the right of both Clintons and those of most of his Democratic constituents.
