7th venter --- there are some places to LEGALLY acquire medical marijuana.True that Horne and Montgomery have exceeded and abused their authority by interfering with the laws of the State.They have NO AUTHORITY under the State Constitution to tell employees of the state to refuse to do the job required by the law.I can't figure why would be dispensary owners are not suing them for economic losses caused by their telling state employees to not issue the necessary permits.But, there are " compassion clubs and co-ops " in several places around where you can make a DONATION or TAKE A CLASS and receive " free " medical marijuana.

9th venter --- indeed telling the TRUTH is what killed Romney's chances.When people saw the video of Romney displaying his contempt for the 47% he was toast.That plus refusing to show his tax returns ( while demanding VP candidates show him 10 YEARS of THEIR returns ) and hiding his money offshore so that he didn't have to pay taxes on it -- all that turned many people off.

Venter #6--We voted not to raise taxes, and also not to finance our public schools. What pride we can derive, from the car washes and bake sales we will have, to keep our kids in chalk, while the rest of the world educates them!! What will we do next, give them jobs, so they can pay their own way, through Junior High, online, at home?

Last vent - I’ve got some news for you, bubba. Romney never lied. Obama did. Remember Benghazi? He continuously lied about that. He may or may not have called it an “act or terror” – that’s debatable – but two weeks later, he continued to deny it was a terrorist attack.
It amazes me that some people think Romney’s campaign had hate-filled rhetoric when in actuality it was Obama that had hate-filled rhetoric. He called Romney a “BS-er” only he used the real words; he refused to denounce that add that called Romney a murderer. He refused to wear his lapel flag pin until it became convenient for him (i.e., his re-election campaign). He refused to return the one million dollars to Bill Maher after the latter called Sarah Palin by the c-word (and I don’t even know what that word is! Nor do I want to know).
The list goes on and on and on and on.
And I also find it very suspicious that in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 59 voting districts, not a single vote went to Romney. Not one! While that is possible, it is highly unlikely. The same thing happened in certain cities Ohio and Colorado. Guess who won all three of those states? Obama did! Surpise, surprise!
No, I don't think Obama won unfairly. I think it's very suspicious, though, that not a single vote in those areas went to Romney.

Terrorism: Statistics show that the next act of terrorism is just as likely to be the work of right-wing extremeists as it is of jihadists inspired by al Qaida. The most recent example, of course, was the white supremacist Wade Michael Page, who killed 6 in a shooting spree at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin. A full 25% of the 302 known terrorist includes and cases in the U.S. since 2001, a new statistical study has found, have involved people like Wade-anti government extremest and white supremacist. Right-wing extremeist or anarchrists-including one nut job who stocked up 100 lbs. explosives, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and enough hydrogen cyanide to kill thousands. So why does the threat of right-wing terrorism "seem so poorly publicized?" Simply-the right-wing doesn't want it publicized. MotherJones.com
Imagine the Right's reaction had Page been a Muslim who gunned down white Christians in a Baptist Church. Fox News would be full of grimm-faced pundits pronouncing upon the pathologies of Islam, while grandstanding politicans would demand a investigation of "islamic radicalization" within Muslem-American communities.

I have had it with Republicans whining and moaning about taxes. Most Republicans talk like they were born yesterday. Taxes is nothing new, it is how our country functions. Taxes are necessary in keeping us a civilized society. Wealthy people in the past have paid a higher tax rate, as high as 70% and it didn't break them. This idea of allowing the Bush tax "gift" to expire is a good thing. The rate under Clinton isn't going to damage wealthy people. Before many of these people became rich, we had a tax system in place, so it never was "all" your money to start with. A portion of it goes to our government. Like it, or hate it that is how our system works. For our government to issue tax cuts, there needs to be a benefit for our country. Well the wealthy tax cuts haven't produced the results it was supposed to give. It is time for the wealthy to stop acting like they are separate from everyone else and that they are somehow entitled to these tax cuts. It is time to pay their fair share.

Vent #1: Dang, I missed a free lunch!!! Oh well, thanks to all our Vets.
Vent #2: I missed a free lunch is all have to complain about. LOL
Vent #3: Early, provisional ballots whatever it takes to vote. Next time there will be online voting.
Vent #4: Hate and vitriol? Not so, just her opinion. There was much worse from the other side.
Vent #5: Speaking of hate and vitriol that's a mainstay of Randy Parraz.
Vent #6: Look what happened in California, more taxes. Now more of the old hippies will leave California because they can't afford the taxes and bring to AZ their liberal/progressive ideology which means more taxes for us.
Vent #7: See what happens when the liberal/progressives keep trying to pass stupid initiatives. We don't need this MJ stuff. I hope that they stall it forever.
Vent #8: 6 Billion spent to keep the status quo.
Vent #9: If Romney lied it was far less than Obama and his gang of thieves and cutthroats. Oh wait, according to them it was a video that got our people killed. BS is all we get from our Gangster in Chief.
