Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase

If she hasn't already quit, it's hard to envision Clinton continuing her unwinnable -- even with Florida and Michigan -- battle beyond June 4.

    And @5designers5 -- where is all that support for science?

    Clinton promised to be guided by science when it comes to medical marijuana.

    I respect that sentiment enormously because the science of the cannabinoid system truly is revolutionary and fascinating.

    BUT it looks like many Clinton supports don't really believe in what she said.

    Because if you really believed that medical marijuana policy should be guided by science, then you'd never think of voting for McCain.

    To McCain, there is no science. There is only federal power, and federal power is always right when it comes to drugs.

    So now we see all the pretenses drop!!!

    You don't believe in science, and you don't believe science should have anything to do with federal policy on medical marijuana.

    That is your position, if you vote for McCain.

    If you're that anti-science, then maybe you should stop claiming you ever WERE a Democrat and just go join your own side and be done with it.
