Pawlenty another Douchebag

Anytime people say "on this issue I defer to... generals... law enforcement... 'experts'... etc" all they are saying is "I have no argument for my position, go ask those guys

His reasons are not good enough.

Typical republican doublespeak. Party of small government my ass. The republican party is only the party of small government when it comes to letting corporations do whatever the hell they want. When it comes to issues of privacy, personal freedom, liberty...the republican party is the party of all-encompassing moral authority government.

This should be no surprise social conservatives love police socialism that is the drug war.

Cato is a non-profit, non-partisan think tank. All opinions are welcome at their forums.

@SirMarkosPhoto It's called expression of views
Pawlenty defers to the almost unanimous opinion of people whose jobs and funding are dependent on the drug war, that the drug war is necessary and good. Derpa derp!
He claims he wants small government, but, as he illustrates here, wants to tell you how to behave. He proves that criminalizing violations of personal, property and civil rights are obviously not enough for him. Using government force, he wants to dictate your morality. His actions don't lie. He wants a powerful, heavy-handed central government. Enough info. Next candidate.
