red sox 777 11/09/18 9:44:45 PM #101:	Xeybozn posted... If marijuana's so popular that enforcing the laws would lead to a massive backlash, why not go ahead and legalize it at the federal level? Wouldn't that lead to massive gains in swing states and no losses in solid red states (which would still not allow marijuana and think the GOP is better)? Republicans strictly follow the Hastert Rule - any idea must be supported by the majority of Republicans for positive action to be taken on it. Something that has the majority support of the country but not Republicans will get inaction one way or the other. This rule creates an incentive to be a Republican - so you'll have more input into what the ruling party does. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:912136423] in Politics C...
