Yes, I was surprised he played such a role in that effort to block medical cannabis.He is a big part of the reason medical in florida didnt pass.
I personally am more sickened with the kochs political sway... especially in my state atm, wisconsin is like their little pet project of detioriatung anything resembling a democracy. Yep we will be a union busting right to work state in no time, next on the agenda will be getting rid of that pesky minimum wage when a majority of voters want minimum wage raised to 10.10, and that was this past election which was a republican favored turnout as we both know. So maybe the republicans will soon be falling out of favor with a growing amount of their constituents if they dont reform their opinion on abortion, minimum wage, and immigration.
Luckily the Republican base is primarily older. Hopefully like the dinosaurs, they can die out.
There are times I really wish we had a parliamentary system. Not that it's perfect, but increasing factions in our legislative leaders would make a more progressive congress, in terms of getting things done and having to cooperate to have a majority. This gridlock and obstructionist congress is really a sad state of affairs.
Did you know we are one of the only advanced countries in the world who doesn't make plans or agendas for the long term? Despite having elections every two years, it would be nice if we had a cohesive vision and goals for our great nation.
