Wow....it's right out the open now. At least 2 posts saying how good legalizing MJ would be for everyone, but is against doing it because Tom Wolf will get credit for it.


It's par for the course though...that side is only about "winning", and not about doing what's best. It stems from some deep seeded inferiority complexes, and it's just sad.

Who’s opposed because Wolf will get credit for it?

Bail them out. Throw them a lifeline. What's the big deal?

We did it for banks. We did it for the auto industry. We did it for airlines.

Use my tax dollars for it. With my blessing.

If it helps them survive and keeps people employed during a difficult situation, I consider it money well spent.

Not every state is suffering. Just got back from Florida last week and they are doing fine. A smart governor can make all the difference. Wolf sucks. People are much happier in Florida as well. Live music and great times. In Wolf land? Unemployment, everything closing for good, depression, alcohol and drug increasing, suicide and one big mess. Governors can make or break us. We know what he is doing. Also, what tax dollars are you talking about? Our taxes have been spent long ago. We just pay debt service now.

Wonder how many greasy spoons could be saved for the price of one wasted $130 million surveillance drone...

Unbelievable how one person can raise the average IQ of a state like Florida by 5 points just by leaving it.

Comparing military surveillance to keep the country safe to bailing out businesses is likely the biggest strawman comparison ever.

If anyone could spot a strawman, it would be our prolific resident hayseed.

Maybe our master negotiator in chief could have got us a sweetheart deal on $30 million surveillance drones.

Because, you know... military funds can be moved around during a "state of emergency." It was entirely appropriate to free up those funds to build a medieval wall and trebuchets to fight off the Mongolian caravans threatening to storm the barricades in November of 2018 after all.

Ahhh, “because Trump” is alive and well. Iran, amongst others, are such wonderful countries and obviously pose no threat to the US. Defund the police and the military, and the world will live in peace and all “greasy spoons” will be saved.

What does that have to do with my post? Florida is still living. PA is not. PA is spiking and we didn’t even come close to living. Wolf treats us all like children. Sick man!! The great governor of Florida treats people as adults. That is the difference. PA is so dumbed down. Nuts! Visit FL and get back to me. I own property there. Nice to live a little.

Now that, sir, is an excellent example of a strawman. But... if you righties want to spend your lives living in fear...

If you had even an iota of self awareness, you'd be... well... you certainly wouldn't be you.
