How does Souder '08 sound?

Or perhaps the next drug Czar?

Yes.

the scene from "In Pot we Trust" when Aaron Houston confronted Souder and he basically ran down the hall, yelling like a child, "there's no such thing as medical marijuana, there's no such thing as medical marijuana, there's no such thing as medical marijuana." The confrontation ended w/ Souder shutting a door in Aaron's face. So not only is he insane, but he is has the mentality of a five year old.

So what sort of congressional representative obstructs people’s access to a good education when all these people want is a better life for themselves and their families?

Why, the Republicans, of course.  Congressman Souder may be the point-man for denying student loans to people with a drug conviction, but in general the Republicans have always hated student loan programs.  The last thing the lazy, financially-advantaged want is to compete against the smart, ambitious, but financially-challenged students for the best educations and the best jobs. 

Imagine the problem if you happen to be George H. W. Bush and you need to get your brain-damaged kid into the Texas Air National Guard, Yale and Harvard.  A level playing field, featuring real scholastic competition, is going to make such favoritism much more difficult.

Other than the drug war and the Aid Elimination Penalty, Souder’s political leadership is virtually non-existent.  He goes through the motions of appearing to be an active and useful public servant, and then he votes a straight, pro-lifer, Republican Party line mostly favoring big business.  His intolerance of the “other” is evident in his stance on immigration reform.  On Souder’s website, regarding immigration, he stubbornly maintains:

“…I fully support the construction of a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border. While we will have to address the millions of illegal aliens already in the United States, I strongly believe that the border must be secured before anything else is done. I want to see real progress made before I’ll even consider discussing other immigration reforms.”

Obviously, Souder is not the man you want in charge if you need to get something done on immigration reform or anything else.  Anyone who creates imaginary and arbitrary obstacles to a goal is not really interested in attaining that goal. 

And now Souder faces the open rejection of his magnum opus, the Aid Elimination Penalty; his only real claim to fame.  Souder’s fraudulent political cover is being blown.  It’s no wonder he’s flaking out and sending psycho letters to reputable organizations that oppose his idiocy.  Hopefully, the voters of Indiana’s Third District will take note of this pathetic episode and rid themselves of their Souder embarrassment.

Out this man

Souder reps the large pharma industry of Indiana. He is following orders and likes it. When confronted with LEAP's stance, in the movie, he responds that he'll never change his mind..".it's a moral issue". I think that pretty well sums up his position. Legislation of morality....it's working for all of us. Even Tucker Carlson thought Souder a boob, and said Souder was "wrong" on the TV. He's finished,and knows it. But there's still plenty of damage to accomplish if he can help it.His concept of a drug free America.... desperate and DESPICABLE.

Duh!

There's no question this is a really bad law.Period

... which makes for a successful career in politics.

I suggest Americans read "The System" by Georgi Arbatov. It is the memoirs of a high-level insider in Soviet politics, and I think it provides good insight into the subject of career politicians, regardless of what system they are working in.

A congressman perpetuating a fraud and an act of treason which has led to trillions of American dollars thrown down the toilet and millions of Americans enslaved has the gall to defend his treason by stating it is "a moral issue?" I hope this traitor gets one of the most painful forms of cancer and slowly dies in excruciating pain while his family members continuously kick him in the nuts for his betrayal of his country and of his species. Talk about evil in this world.

Has this guy attended a fake college? How can you try to promote a law that is based on discrimination? I think that is unconstitutional... Am I right or am I wrong?
