But then, I'm not a conservative. I just meant what I said - he's a very intelligent and serious guy.<br /><br />Meanwhile, guys like dmarks here are still living in a Reefer Madness world and so won't take Johnson seriously. Hence an example of the silliness of much the conservative vote.<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-22035246556218683572011-05-21T07:52:28.614-04:002011-05-21T07:52:28.614-04:00Intelligent supposedly, but not smart enough to av...Intelligent supposedly, but not smart enough to avoid become a drug abuser.<br /><br />Penn Gillette said it well: "I've never been that smart and I've always wanted to much, much, much, much smarter and the people that I saw doing drugs and alcohol were getting stupider and I hated that."<br /><br />Why would anyone intentionally damage their brain and become stupider?<br /><br />No, I would not vote for the dope fiend in the primaries.<br /><br />Chuckle chuckle.....dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-3424369601176005292011-05-21T00:34:16.206-04:002011-05-21T00:34:16.206-04:00JMJ - On this you are absolutely correct.
