No, I like him because like unlike every other GOP candidate, he has a proven track record of reducing the size of government. The next president will be forced to either significantly reduce the size of government, or default on the debt. I would prefer a candidate that has a no-compromise stance on taking care of business.
As for the marijuana issue - I do not smoke it, and never will. I dislike it as much as I do other addictive, harmful substances. However, I know that making it illegal is doing more harm than good to America. Much like when we banned alcohol, making things illegal provides power to gangs, mobs, and cartels as an additional source of revenue to grow their empires. Taking it away from the black market would not only save us $200 billion USD a year in state and federal expenses (as well as revenues), but it would seriously jeopardize the cartels in Mexico which have butchered tens of thousands of people in a brutal control for the country.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
