Bart Stupak Gary McDowell's people are circulating a link to video they say is of Dan Benishek saying that the federal government should not take part in the War on Drugs.
The clip starts with whoever it is saying that they don't know that it is Constitutionally valid (like them or not, the War on Drugs has been upheld as Constitutionally valid by the Supreme Court in no end to cases ... including when states sued the Bush administration over John Ashcroft's raids on medical marijuana dispensaries).
Update! ... The video, in fact, comes to us from Gary McDowell's people. Originally, I thought the video had come from Bart Stupak's re-election campaign. This might prompt you to ask how I could think that Bart Stupak was making comments in support of a Democrat running to replace Stupak in Congress while also running for re-election. My explanation is that I was working outside, in the direct sun, when I posted this and was also highly concerned about the possible fallout from an event nearby where they were giving out free pizza. Now that I am inside, and having wasted the afternoon reading things on the Internet I've already read several dozen times, my head has let out some of the accumulated heat and I am able to easily make out my error. I am tempted to apologize for any inconvenience this mistake might have caused, but I quite frankly don't care.
