Is the drug war a "progressive value"?
If not then there is only one real progressive Democrat in DC.

And neither Clinton nor Obama are that Democrat.

1. It obviously is not a progressive value. And just as obvious, neither HC nor BO
are a real liberal/progressive.

Anyone with liberal values was driven out of the race long ago. The only question that remains is how much liberals are willing to sacrifice our values to vote for another corporate candidate in November.

you usually need to go to the libertarians or greens to find those that wish to end the drug war.

6. I'm saying the War on Drugs has a personal element to many of the people here
Thanks to the shortsighted and wrongheaded War on Drugs Not Made By Contributors To The Republican Party, many of the people on this list are in danger of losing their homes, livelihoods, freedom and possessions because of a reasonably harmless thing they like to do on their weekends.

8. I'm in no danger of losing anything.. At least from the drug war.
I'm definitely not in the target demographic for the drug war which is mostly young and black.
