Ashcroft biggest douchebag ever?

I take it you've just seen AKA Tommy Chong?

He made a real good point when he commented about people asking him what it was like to be in Prison. He said "Oh you'll find out!"

This is a great documentary and the best part is that it has done more harm to the politicans (in particular their party) that persecuted him then they did to Tommy Chong. It sure did open a lot of Peoples eyes.

Pay backs are a bitch, huh?

Go Tommy!

yeah I just watched it for the second time.
Makes me sick to my stomach that I was a republican while this was going on.
 
I am so glad I was never a republican.

There was a time in history I would have been but in my adult lifetime they have done nothing but harm to this country.

That's just simply not true. Even some of the most vilified Republicans have done some very good things. Nixon for example. Oh sure, on the balance Nixon was a scumbag but he did some things that were very beneficial for this nation.

Same can be said for Ronald Reagan. If I had to do it all over again, with 20/20 hindsight and knowing that Reagan made a George W Bush possible, I would still have voted for him as Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale represented the social welfare state liberals whom I strongly disagree with and Reagan, in my mind, was a superior option to either. Though in 20/20 hindsight, that may not be saying much.

And if the Obama goes off the liberal deep end and goes as far to the extreme left as W did to the far right....then it's probably a safe bet that both Topper and I will switch back to being Republicans (assuming they would move back towards the center). So far I have not seen evidence of that happening. In fact, preliminary indications are that the Democrats are co-opting the center and Republicans are shifting even farther to the right. A suicidal strategy by Republicans but hey...it's their party and they can cry if they want too.
 
I'll never switch back, I grew up in the seventies smoking more pot in high school than anything else except chasing girls.
I was astonishingly uniformed on issues other than taxes when I first became a republican.

Yea same with me too except when I first became a Republican I lived in an area where abortion and gun control were huge issues for Republicans for which I was not really in the mainstream. But that was a rural catholic region where the people are pretty clueless about urban issues.

I pretty much have to agree with you. As long as monied plutocrats and authoritarians who just don't quite comprehend what freedom means run the Republican party (and I don't see that changing in my life time), then I'll never go back to being a registered Republican.

Well....gotta be careful as I can eat those words. I didn't predict or would have believed in 1980 that the Republicans would or could go as far to the right as they did. It's entirely possible that Democrats could go off the ideological deep end too. Then what you gonna do? Being an Independent or a Libertarian is the political equivalent of being a eunuch in the USA.
 
top and mott are the sorts of intelligent thoughtful former republicans that make me proud to be a democrat. Thanks, you two!
