He's a candidate as an independent.
He stated he would de-criminalize marijuana if he becomes governor.
I wonder if that's a state's rights issue? I thought the drug laws were federal. Or is it because of Texas' state as a Republic making some federal laws benign?
I say why not~
I'm voting for him but because of his stance on ethanol use as a renewable source of fuel.

Politics are funny. The true reason for the Civil War was that States wanted to govern themselves. (Slavery was not the actual issue, it was the deprivation of States rights to do what they wanted- including owning slaves- that was the issue).
Kinky wants to run Texas as if it was the only State in the Union (only Country in the world) that mattered. Wild and free. (emphasis on wild I think) We were our own Country once before and we hold our independence in high esteem. Rick Perry and Carole Keeton Strayhorne, and Chris Bell, are all bought and paid for and will do things at their owners bidding.. The truth is, Kinky is probably the only one who will really follow his own heart (as kinky as it is).. .. this will be an interesting election! I don't exactly agree with him on some things. I will probably go with one of Kinky's leashed opponents.

There are federal drug laws, but federal law, according to the constitution, cannot outweigh state law. States have the final choice over whether or not they will abide by federal law.

Either one would do a better job than Bush did. Letterman won't run. He makes much more money on TV.
