Huffington writes, "While all the top candidates are vying for the black and Latino vote, they are completely ignoring one of the most pressing issues affecting those constituencies: the failed War on Drugs, a war that has morphed into a war on people of color."
The issue is complex, and getting tough on crime is a given in practically every politicians campaign bag. NO one who wants to hold elective office can withstand the onslaught that would come down after any statement calling for a more reasonable and just system of dealing with illegal drug use.
But, even the Oxyconton Deafened Rush Limbaugh would be on a candidate urging changes in the "War On Drugs like a duck on a Junebug, unless the candidate was also in favor of internal exile for critics of the Neo Conservative agenda.
