A recent Sacramento Bee poll showed that a sweeping majority (70+ percent) of Republicans opposed prop 19.
Prop 19 would help balance the state budget and provide for business opportunities and employment. Why does the GOP oppose this proposition?

John Dennis is a REPUBLICAN and as far as I know the only one supporting Prop 19
Guess they would rather continue the long since failed “Drug War”
I for one am tired of throwing billions in a hole,imprisoning millions,and ruining millions of lives for the second failed Prohibition in our History.
RWE
Probably because it isnt’ a good idea. Selling your sould to the devil… basically. Studies have shown that Marijaunna use does have adverse long term effects. The bill doesn’t address safeguards to the public. There aren’t restrictions put upon the production of it either. All these things must happen in order to have control over this drug. Now, tell me how many Democrats oppose the bill?
Because we don’t want the Republic of California to have fewer brain cells than it already has. Not a good message for the kids.
Hypocrisy, you can’t have greater individual liberty if you support prohibition.
that’s not really true
I am a Liberal and I already voted NO on prop 19

btw : I fully support Medical Marijuana.
Admitting a mistake was made in launching the drug war is un-American.
That’s the only thing I can think of. Maybe they just hate freedom.
Retardlicans don’t use their brains
It is not because its a drug that they are against it, it is because most of them have money in stocks and other business that would stem to lose money out of their own pockets like alcohol, ciggerettes would lose sales for the more potent. They don’t want this. From what I have seen today, it looks like it’s not passing, but not by that much. If the Federal Government ended up with a bill for it, and still tried stopping it, I believe 2/3 of all the states if said yes could overturn it.
