Gingrich calls for more aggressive drug policy

[DreamSmoker]

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich does not support the legalization of medical marijuana and would like the see the United States adopt a more aggressive policy against drug use.

Gingrich told Yahoo! News’ Chris Moody on Saturday that California showed that medical marijuana was a “joke,” where doctors prescribed the drug for nearly anybody who wanted it.

“My general belief is that we ought to be much more aggressive about drug policy,” Gingrich said.

He would like to see steeper economic penalties for illegal drug use and more drug testing, including mandatory drug testing for anyone who receives unemployment compensation or food stamps.

He also supports the death penalty for high-level drug smugglers..

14. Newtie, you got some 'splainin' to do...

Let us make a wild-ass assumption and pretend Newt Gingrich gets elected president, and he gets enough Repukes in both houses of Congress to pound his agenda through.

The current Republican agenda is to expand the Drug War, expand the Terror War and outlaw abortion. If Newt gets in there he'll probably put Mule Fucker Horsley in charge of cleaning out the abortionists, and Mule Fucker will have the Constitution amended to allow an exception to our rule against ex post facto laws so he can charge anyone who's ever had or performed an abortion with murder.

This is the thing: All three of these programs are, or would be, extremely expensive and the Republicans want to make them larger and more expensive. How in hell does this jive with the Republican desire to cut taxes to nothing?
