Bush isn't crying dirty tricks as far as I can tell. And I don't really know how many speedy tickets Al Gore has had. Do you? Is it really relevant? I absolutely believe getting a DUI 25 years ago is not a ground for disqualification to be President. Life is a journey, and we all grow and mature at different times. It's clear Bush has learned from his youthful indiscretions and has been leading a upstanding life for a long time. If the mainstream press really researched Al Gore's past, I believe the stench of youthful indiscretions would be far greater than Bush's. But they really don't want to know. I've seen reports of eye witness testimony that he smoked pot on a regular basis up until he went to congress. And some anecdotal evidence from the same eye witness, that he smoked dope long after serving in Congress. Would his getting arrested for possession of pot in his twenties really change your perception of his fitness for duty? I doubt it. Therefore, just like a lot of hollier-than-thou Democrats on this board who have driven a car after consuming 3 beers in an hour. Arrest is really a silly point. And I believe you know it. My goodness, Democrats have elected a probable rapist and still adulate him on stage. How hypocritical can you get? And let's not even get into all the other Democrats (such as Ted Kennedy) who have had far more serious incidents while under the influence of alcohol. As I've said in a previous post. Consuming 3 beers and then driving a car in the mid seventies was VERY common. Especially, if you were a man hanging out with the guys. Getting pulled over and paying a fine wasn't thought of as that big of a deal. Times have changed, but we shouldn't forget what the reality of past cultural norms were like. Have you EVER driven a car after consuming 3 beers?
