Bill Maher concluded Friday night’s episode of “Real Time” with a bold suggestion for the Republican party: “Why not embrace pot?”
About 3:00 into the “New Rules” clip above, Maher asks why politicians such as Ted Cruz are still using highly publicized hunting trips to show voters how relatable and down to earth they are, when only 6% of Americans actually hunt.
“Like many Americans, this picture [of Cruz hunting] makes me less likely to vote for you, and more likely to wish your hunting partner was Dick Cheney,” Maher joked.
If the goal of the GOP is to appeal to women, hispanics and millenials (or as Maher describes the new American voter, “a young latino lesbian who smokes a boatload of dope”) Maher suggests that the GOP start pandering to stoners instead of hunters.
“If they want to pass the torch to the next generation, they need to ‘pass the torch’ to the next generation,” he joked.
Watch the full clip above to hear the rest of Maher’s reasons why Republicans should support marijuana legalization, including how in the age of Molly and flesh-eating drugs, pot really IS conservative.
Exposing the Big Game 
after all … if they did that, wow, imagine how much fun u’d have laughing at ted cruz together =)
Good humorous idea but the hunters are mostly like the republicans who pander to the redneck vote because they are rednecks. Republicans started pandering to the red flag issues and votes back with Nixon and Reagan and since and that is how the Tea Party evolved to a strident and vocal group taking over the Republican Party: God, Guns, Gays (anti), Gynecology (pro-life), Genocide (war mongers), Greed (Trickle Up Economics). It is the G Party, or the Flat Earth Party. They have aligned themselves with the anti-wolf, pro-hunting, anti-federal anything (EPA, ESA, public land for the public and wildlife), enshrinement of hunting at the national level, development and extraction industry of public land, with the sportsmen and ranchers and farmers, and status quo on health care. It is the good old boy party (ignorant and proud of it).
Yep, hence the “G”OP. Hunting is symbolic of every other resource extraction they support.
