http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story/Historic-Anti-Smoking-Vote-To-Give-FDA-New-Power/yiOgbLo6X0mn53NYrS--fQ.cspx I was going to post this on e7, if only to get a response out of Retard, but honestly his stupidity stops being funny once it sinks in that this guy seriously believes this shit. But yeah, now we're just being stupid... |

I think it's lame that socialism is being allowed to creep in under the guise of "doing a good thing." I mean the government shouldn't be getting MORE power. On the contrary. But as a smoker wanting to quit, but having a tough time being as I live with two other smokers, it seems like it has the potential to give me an edge in quitting. If when they say "regulate" they mean "decrease" the nicotine in cigarettes, then I've got a better shot. But knowing the government and big business, they're probably lying to us and this'll only perpetuate the problem in the long run. Bush Sr said "No new taxes." Bush Jr said "Mission Accomplished". Obama said, "The troops will come home the day I'm in office". I mean no politician ever ended a war and likewise no politician ever truly helped the people in any way. Instead, they just throw bandaides at the problem so the people settle down for a while. I mean why would the CEO of Phillip Morris ENDORSE regulation of his company's product if it meant reduced sales and profit? There's a catch. He stands to gain somehow. And ultimately, those of us that lit up with our friends the day we turned 18 stand to lose. |

Obama never said he'll bring the troops home the minute he gets into office! He said he'll get the troops out of Iraq as soon as possible which he did do in terms of the pullout timetables. I am personally for socialized health care. Republicans keep hitching that what the Democrats are doing is socialism, well I called what the Republicans did the last 8 years monopoly and would go as far as calling it treason. Cutting taxes on the rich, what is this crap? The Republicans' policy of Reaganomics trapped us into a cycle of boom and bust. They have betrayed the American people. It is my opinion that a little socalism isn't bad so as long as it doesn't become communism. Besides, Canada has socialized health care, why can't we? When FDR created social security and LBJ created Medicare and Medicaid why did no one called them socialists? Edited by Virgil, Jun 12 2009, 06:46 AM.

You're not totally wrong, but what does that have to do with tobacco regulations? |
