Abe lincoln… blame abe lincoln!!

had he let the south (today’s bible-nut-jobs) go about their way of life, none of us had to endure this crap and the south would have by now been a place no better than mexico… I would have loved that shit, these religious freaks are not americans, they are better off being Saudi Arabians:”

ummm….sounds like you got back on the sauce. Drop the alcohol and take a hit or two. Kicking at someone because of an accident of birth isn’t helping the cause. The fact this is happening in a northern state doesn’t mean that the south is responsible. The situation looks to be self-contained. Pawley is pandering to his own law enforcement and religious constitutes not southerners. Geez, let the civil war go! It’s a new day and a new battle. Southerners are not the enemy.

We have a long time to go if it ever gets back there again. Politicians are all the same, each doing it a little differently. Get more outside of the 2-party system in we can see more postive changes.. And get rid of our electoral college(most unfair voting system) in the world abolish it!!!lol freedom of speech I still have..I think..hehe

Dear Governer Pawlenty,
In Ref. to Medical Marijuana use bill. I would like to comment and really trying to understand after reading about this bill and your response to I found rather disturbing. . And who would want federal oversight on a something like that anyway, unless it would be taxed and legalized.. that’s a whole other story. Did you do research on this with the other states where it is legal, if so I wish you would have included those findings in your response ,unless you did and I missed it somewhere. It may have helped me and I think others understand more for the veto on this bill. IPersonally I’d rather see someone smoke pot than use alcohol do kill the pain. If looked up you will find; Alcohol is the #1 most dangerous drug there is . Even over tobacco.

Just for the record I didnt vote for Pawlenty as I havent lived in Minnesota for 15 years, thank god.

The U.S. Government has US Patent 6630507 – Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants

Look it up. Educate yourself and don’t be a closed minded

And to your comment:

“…stop asking States to make a deal with the devil and endanger the state treasury from dissatisied users and tort lawyers who’ll sue for violation of a federal crime and lack of regulation because the FDA did not approve it.”

Our current Supreme Court has declined to accept a hearing on Medical Marijuana from San Diego Count, CA. This means exactly what your dumbass thought would happen, but happily to say you’re wrong. That is it now practically near impossible to sue because of Medical Marijuana bills passed in state, much less sue for legalization bills passing in state houses. That is THE TURNING point for marijuana. Sorry to all you misinformed prohibitionists.

And I don’t even smoke marijuana!

The bill was terrible in the first place! That Emmer guy, what an ignorant pile. Your governor no better.

The bill didn’t even allow patients undergoing chemotherapy, because their treatment wasn’t severe enough.

Hope he never has to deal with cancer and the drugs to counter-react the treatments! Then he might have true sympathy.

Right now, he is just a police-state minded politician.
