You have way too much knowledge about porn.

Or maybe not enough?

End the War on Drugs (this includes heroin), eliminate the Department of Education, eliminate Social Security (this would be gradual). Many others.

None of those would garner support from more than maybe 5% of the population.

Would repair a lot of damage with Hispanics....

No it wouldn't. Why do people assume Hispanics are single issue voters? Once let in, will they magically want to reform Medicare and social security and cut budgets? I think we all know the answer to that is "no."

If Republicans joined President Obama in passing Obamacare, do you think they would get credit for that? I think not. The President and Democrats would receive the vast majority of credit since everyone knows those are ideas championed by Democrats.

I think you read that wrong. Puerto Rico voted for statehood. In fact, only 5% of Puerto Ricans voted for Independence.

This is interesting.

I'm not sure what a SS number is relevant for, but the other two.

1) Why would you legalize heroin? Marijuana should have been legalized decades ago, but heroin?

2) What would it be replaced with? Who will teach?

Why not legalize heroin? Other opiates are legal. Heroin is no more harmful than the rest of 'em...really...it's just 'dirtier' because it's illegal.

I can't speak for him. But I guess education should fall under the jurisdiction of the states, not the federal government.

In any case, meth is a way bigger issue than heroin.

Ugh. I can't even drive thru San Diego, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, or Long Beach without seeing tweakers in action...having starring contests with parking meters.

Anywho, Colorado -- here I come!

Federal law says that marijuana is more dangerous than crystal meth.

The Dept. of Education was only created in 1979. I did not say that I would eliminate public education. We still have states who in my vision would implement and run their own educational systems

What I'd like to know is how did the measure to label GMO foods get defeated in CA? How much money did the Food Lobby have to spend to brainwash voters into thinking it's a BAD idea to label foods made with genetically modified ingredients. That one baffled me when I heard it lost on the View yesterday.

It was because it was so poorly written. People voting Yes were voting on an idea but didn't pay enough attention to what the law itself would entail in terms of manufacturer to consumer cost increases and what would be included in labeling and what wouldn't be.

Different standards for different states and I am of the view that the closer government officials are to the people, the more responsive they are. Also, cut out an intermediary since states educate citizens here anyway.

Mitts aides wanted to contest FLA, VIRG, OHIO, and NH. But, MItt just said "it isnt happening" with a big smile, and quickly wrote his concession speech.
