It would not hurt my feelings if cigarettes and alcohol were made illegal in the United States of America.

There is no way in hell I would ever vote for this asshole!!!

Hey-Diddilly-Smoke-ily, butt buddies!

Ned is right! Why should smokers be targeted for these exorbitant tax rates and be treated like second-class citizens? Because we are in the minority and simply a convenient source of income for everyone else. Taxes? Yes. Ridiculous taxes? NO! How about we put special taxes on fast food at the same rates? It does after all, make us fat and create health issues.

Our Gov was created to protect our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. I believe what ned is trying to do is take a stance on personal freedoms and personal responsibilities and the right to not be robbed by the organization that is supposed to be protecting us. The right to be able to live your life the way you want to live it as long as you arent infringing on another’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... A life without having big brother tell you what morally is right or wrong... Personally, I wish that ned would update his website with more information besides smoking. I wont be voting for Ned though but instead will vote for Jack Hickey simply because his website states one of the biggest problems we face..."The Government _ of the United States _ has become the United States Government" and it has to stop.

Everyone is focusing on the big taboo of smoking, what happens when your favorite vice is targeted? Where will you be then? It's popular to pick on the smokers because they are a minority, what's next? Beer? Hamburgers? Tacos?......

Ned is the most sensible person in the race.

Smokers should have the right to kill themselves, but not others around them.

Smokers should be taken out back and SHOT. How DARE you pollute MY air and the air that my CHILDREN breathe!??

All this guy seems to stand for is smoker's rights. What about my right to breath clean air? Do go out and not come back with hair and clothes that stink of smoke? Smoking is a choice and an addiction, that imposes enormous health care costs on society. High cigarette taxes can help prevent people from taking up smoking and encourage people to stop smoking, and provide needed revenues to the state.

I like coming back from the bars and not reeking of smoke.

He'll bring the no-nonsense leadership this state needs.

Hey! these politicians are ripping us off with new taxes every year. Who needs more of these taxes. If he wins we pay less in taxes. He has a plan to take the economy north.

He's has a solid plan and vision for California.

I hate stupid taxes. And geez, who needs more stupid laws. If this guy can get a dinosaur to fly (http://www.geocities.com/fossilfreak.geo/dixie.htm l) he can straighten out California.
