Lordie I never expected that “debate” to last more than 3 hours. I almost ran out of beer. I didn’t start tweeting until the second hour but here’s my two cents –
Gov. Kasich last night quoted saying, "If you've saved one life, you’ve changed the world." What about lives snuffed by US drones & bombs?

Bummed that none of the GOP candidates wanted to put Joan Jett on the $10 bill

I still think the GOP debate would have been better if they continued asking questions until all but one candidate passed out.

Is this GOP debate going to continue until every viewer has abandoned all hope?

.@Frimp13 They have probably already achieved that goal with most of the viewers with less than a 0.12 blood alcohol level at this point

Here is a statement from the one presidential candidate who actively supports the legalization of medical marijuana nationwide! “The evidence in this record [9-6-88 ruling] clearly shows that marijuana has been accepted as capable of relieving the distress of great numbers of very ill people, and doing so with safety under medical supervision. It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance in light of the evidence in this record.” You can read more and support her campaign on her site http://denisebedio.com/marijuana.
