    Default Mitt Romney vs. Ron Paul on Medical Marijuana

    Similar question, different responses:




    I'm not a fan of the drug. But look at this, it is disgusting. Look at HOW the responses are different ie the process of answering the question.


    Anyone have any videos or hard facts about Romney, because everything I am seeing is negative- (I'm on youtube- all of the comments are bashing him- and I see much praise of Ron Paul)

    Considering this, how is he so far ahead of Ron Paul in the polls? It just isn't making sense to me. Can someone explain what is going on when they are breaking down the votes by states? I am a newbie, sorry.

    Romney seemed like an ultra douchebag in that video.

    Completely. Against. Medical. Marijuana. ::double facepalm::

    Reality seems to totally escape this Romney guy. I don't think he really knows why marijuana is illegal in the first place. Here's a hint, Mitt, it has nothing to do with it being a "drug"

    Of course, this is the guy that wears "magic underwear"

    Major news stations seem to down play Ron Paul by a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if it a lot closer that what the pools say now.

    News stations dont do the polling. They contract with polling agencies to do the polling then they report the results. The polling agencies dont gain or lose anything based on the results. When you see vast differences, more than the margin or error between polls conducted on the same dates, it is typically methodology.

    i think he's implying that the media constantly saying "this guy stands no chance" might have some effect on people's votes or willingness to get out and vote for X candidate.

    Of douse it does. The media is pushing fr the candidate it wants to see for the parties. Just wait until the general election. Just like last time you will see very unequal
