Granted, this is funny. Granted, Cheney is a dangerous man, politically as well as personally.
But perhaps even more dangerous is the thought that left-wing rhetoric like this can influence voters. How in the hell does Cheney's hunting accident justify legalizing marijuana?
I will grant that an argument can be made that marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol. I'm not entirely opposed to legalizing marijuana - I live in Humboldt Co, California where ganja is the leading industry. Quite honestly, I don't see much difference between the two 'drugs'.
What I object to, is the illogical rhetoric used by the left-wingers to stir up emotion, to influence people to make knee-jerk decisions based on emotion rather than facts and logic. And the 'logic' behind this ad is since bad things can happen when using legal drugs, we might as well legalize other drugs as well.
Using the same argument, we should legalize hand grenades, after all they are as potentially dangerous as a shotgun. Old people can also be dangerous, especially armed with weapons and alcohol therefore I propose we allow children to have access to weapons and alcohol too.
So this election I'm voting for children to have access to automatic weapons and marijuana. Why should Cheney have all the fun?

Perhaps I shouldn't have singled out the left-wing. They all do it, and it all pisses me off.
Voter turnout on non-election years is less than 50%. It's not just apathy, people are frustrated with all the bullshit.
