And then they say that is "out there"
What exactly is "out there"? Legalizing drugs means personal freedom. It's not the govt.'s place to command it's citizens around like puppets and tell us what we can put in our own body.
And I am also in agreement that we need to stop occupying every country in the world with our military. We aren't supposed to be doing that. It costs a fortune. It makes everybody hate us. And history shows that every time a country tries to be an "empire" it ends up with the offending country broke and destitute.
Which is exactly where we are heading.

I don't follow the Republican party (or the other party either for that matter) and I don't pay attention until they've figured out who's running. I really don't care either way.
With that said, why don't we start closing our bases down? I'm former military myself, third generation, but do we really need bases in Germany and Japan? Korea? Spain? Italy? Do we really need so many bases?
And then... I don't smoke pot myself, but for the love of god why is it illegal? Make it legal and tax it - Less people in prison and more money in taxes. Win win!
