Gary Johnson: Gingrich ‘proposed the death penalty for marijuana’

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/12/gary-johnson-gingrich-propose...

Over the weekend, struggling Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson reminded MSNBC viewers that GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich had once to called to punish some drug offenders with death.

“Newt Gingrich, in 1997, proposed the death penalty for marijuana — for possession of marijuana above a certain quantity of marijuana,” Johnson explained. “And yet, he is among 100 million Americans who’ve smoked marijuana.”

“I would love to have a discussion with him on the fact that he smoked pot, and under the wrong set of circumstance he proposed the death penalty for, potentially, something that he had committed. I have troubles with that,” he added. MORE>>>

(More from above article)- Gingrich charged in 1994 that 25 percent of President Bill Clinton’s White House staff used drugs, but at the same time admitted that he had also smoked pot 25 years earlier.

“That was a sign we were alive and in graduate school in that era,” he explained.

“See, when I smoked pot it was illegal, but not immoral,” Gingrich reportedly told Wall Street Journal reporter Hilary Stout in 1996. “Now, it is illegal AND immoral. The law didn’t change, only the morality… That’s why you get to go to jail and I don’t.”

(TLS)-  Gingrich is a deranged sociopath, completely out of touch with reality and a narcissistic megalomaniac of epic proportions. I kid you not I would vote for Obama if Gingrich is the alternative. WOW did i just type that .... shit, how did things get so bad? ........ Ok I thought about it and I just wouldn't vote.

Sadly, there are TOO MANY people that take him seriously. I actually called my mother a "F&*king idiot" the other day because she kept defending him. I love my mother  but until she turns off faux noise and starts to think rationally, I'll treat her the same as I treat any one who parrots the MSM.

How can anyone take Gingrich seriously?
