My THREE QUESTION test for Chuck Baldwin.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

I'm not asking anyone to convince me to vote for Baldwin.

I want Baldwin to answer these questions.

Yeah! Why is Baldwin ignoring your questions? What an asshole!

"I, as a responsible adult human being, will never concede the power to anyone to regulate my choice of what I put into my body, or where I go with my mind. From the skin inwards is my jurisdiction, is it not? I choose what may or may not cross that border. Here I am the Customs Agent. I am the Coast guard. I am the sole legal and spiritual government of this territory, and only the laws I choose to enact within myself are applicable", Dr. Alexander Shulgin

I've never heard anyone say it better.

/Been planning on voting Baldwin for about a week. Glad to see I'm not alone.

Hello Everyone,

It looks like there are some people on this thread attacking me because I'm unwilling to vote for Chuck Baldwin if he does not support our right to live our lives how we see fit. Apparently, there are a lot of people on here that think as long as he opposes the IRS, the War in Iraq, the Patriot Act, and the War on Terror that it does not matter if he supports drug legalization and personal freedom or not.

The fact is that any candidate that does not support personal freedom AND fiscal conservatism AND peace does not deserve our vote.

I don't care if my vote tomorrow could bring the war in Iraq to an end. I will not vote for a candidate that does not support personal freedom on all issues.

If you vote for evil you are supporting evil and you are a part of evil.

So if Chuck Baldwin became President and followed the Constitution, he would have to repeal the federal drug laws as those issues are delegated to the individual states. However, he could not force legalization of drugs in each state, that would be unconstitutional. If all the states enacted laws prohibiting drugs or prostitution, it would be up to the local legislatures to challenge them individually.

What if my state decided to seize my property for no good reason? Should the Federal Government step in? Is there any difference?

Look, I have old friends that are all messed up on heroin or crack.

When I was younger I used to smoke weed. I even tried smoking crack a few times in my early experimental years.

What kind of person would it make me if I voted for a candidate that would want to INCARCERATE my friends who I care deeply about? Why would I vote for a person who would have put me in jail 5 years ago? Why would I do anything at all to make my friends suffer more then they already are?

What kind of person would that make me? How could I sleep at night?

I would never in my lifetime support a drug warrior. Being a drug warrior is just as bad as being a foreign interventionist, a socialist, or a fascist - if not worse. There is no compromise on this issue, and I hope my brothers and sisters in liberty agree.

I totally agree.

If he supports Ron's co-sponsored marijuana bill that's good enough for me. Most people are pretty knowledgeable about the REAL effects of marijuana, not so much the other stuff. One step at a time.

No, one step at a time is not enough when it comes to freedom.

If he does not support the legalization of all drugs he does not support our vote.

 

[Menthol Patch]

That must be so, because he has completely failed to even attempt to address what I posted on page four.

Oh well, I won't bother unblocking his posts anymore.

I have addressed those issues.

I will not support any candidate that does not support ALL of our freedoms.

Does not deserve "your" vote. Don't speak for me. If you didn't repeatedy bump your own post to the top of the page trying to get Chuck Baldwin to answer you people might not come on and attack you. You are being flat out rude and obnoxious keeping your own post at the top of the new posts page pushing all others down. If people want to debate you on your questions to Baldwin you are getting mad.
Baldwin is not going to come on here just to answer your questions especially when your mind is made up to hate him already.

No, I'm stating the truth.

I don't hate him at this point. I honestly want to know if he is willing to answer yes on those three questions. I hope this thread will make other people want to ask him those three questions.

Actually, I agree with a tremendous amount of what he has to say! Also, I'm a Christian so I like the fact he believes in Jesus Christ. However, I cannot vote for any candidate unless I know they are not only a true fiscal conservative but also totally support personal liberty.

I sincerely want to cast my vote for him if he will answer these three questions.

I'm NOT lying.

**sigh** ice cream and heroin are not comparable. Look, I'm coming from a different perspective. My education is in behavioral science with an emphasis on addictive disorders. We are an addicted nation. Granted the war on drugs has been useless, but legalizing addiction (dope) isn't going to make things any better. If you think so, then go have a talk with the many mothers whose husbands are shooting up and smoking weed in front of the kids instead of working to pay the bills. Go to hospitals on the poor side of town and ask about the crack addicted babies. Ask anyone who's addicted if they wish they had never started.

Addiction is hurting this country in more ways than you may know.

You think legalizing dope is going to change all this? I don't want it legalized, but I don't want addicts thrown in prison, only dealers. I think addicts belong in rehab for lengthy periods of time.

As to the casual user, I believe in simply de-criminalizing dope.

Illegalizing drugs causes A LOT of crime and death. Ron Paul once said that legalizing drugs would bankrupt every gang in America overnight.

Many people are fat and get heart attacks. So should be ban hamburgers because people abuse them too much? Nope.....FREEDOM

What about alcohol? We have addicts on that as well.


I support Baldwin, just making a point that the idea of banning drugs is ridiculous and unconstitutional.

Do you support protectionism and bible thumping rightwingers that oppose women's right to choose?

 

[Menthol Patch]

I support protectionism in certain circumstances when other nations are trying to buy out the USA.

Also, I support Ron Paul's pro-life position due to the fact that I think the child is an individual human being.

There is no such thing as "USA" let's stop with these games.

Ah, none of my business what people I don't know do with their offspring

I am for the right for a woman to have a abortion, while Chuck personally is not, he thinks the states should decide (same as RP).

Chuck is near perfect on the economy even if the protectionism belief is true (which it might not). Can't have a perfect candidate, but I can have a near perfect candidate.

THen email your questions to him, Please! Have your ever seen CB post on here in the thousands of posts? Use your brain. Go to the source for you answers.

 

[Andrew-Austin]

I have addressed those issues.

No you have not addressed my post on page four, you've just fucking danced around what I said and failed to explain yourself for the thousandth time.

Sorry man but I'll continue to call a spade a spade, as long as you continue to ignore what I have repeatedly explained.
