Drug war never ends in conservaworld

You didn't expect the election to be a total sweep, did you? Places like Warsaw, Indiana, have yet to emerge from 2002.

Warsaw is in the most Republican county in Indiana. For decades, the town has largely tolerated a fundamentalist "school" that abuses kids. Local public officials defend it. I even visited this town in 2009 just to participate in a protest against this "school."

Warsaw elected a Republican mayor again yesterday, and he's already building his entire administration on trying to force drugstores to stop selling cold and allergy medicine without a prescription. Mayor-elect Joe Thallemer spouts the usual drug warrior babble.

Well, it looks like the GOP has found its new cause celebre. Kentucky's David Williams ran on this too. Look where it got him. Please, Republicans. Run on this issue. I dare you. This is the one major War on Drugs initiative that's gotten probably less public support than any other.
