Obama fever was in the MSM today, but the juciest was about his admitted cocaine use. Check out the video and blog reaction roundup.

Judging by some comments by others, I'm not the only one and it has a LOT to do with everything as far as I'm concerned. I didn't post what I did in order to pat myself on the back but even if I had, what would be wrong with that? I'm just telling you that not everybody did drugs. You seem to have more respect for those who did than those who didn't. Incredible.
Would it stop me from voting for someone? It depends. All things being equal, the answer is "yes".
My wife recently announced to me that she would no way no how be voting for Rudy Guiliani or Newt Gingrich. They are both proven cheaters. I agree. And I don't see the drug business as being any different. It's just a different kind of cheating.

[TheBattman]

So rumors of such drug use and GW were a campaign issue, but I suppose, since OBAMA is a black (sort-of) Democrat, it's just peachy...

[Hildy]

Great....you can pat yourself on the back when we have a liberal as President...and rest on your high morals when our Country is taken over by Muslims.

[Hildy]

that's fine...I choose to live in the real world..where good people make mistakes and go on to be fine people. I don't judge people by what they've done decades before and are sorry for. I don't judge people because they had a marriage that didn't work out, because we NEVER KNOW WHAT GOES ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. But hey, if that's how you want to choose our leaders...good luck to you.

[Past Your Eyes]

What does that have to do with the price of putty?

[Hildy]

It has to do with the fact that there will be no Republican that will be able to live up to your high moral standards...

I never touched any illegal drugs either. Viet Nam '67-'68 gave me the taste for Jack Daniels. Admitting your sins is somehow a way to forgive yourself, I guess.

[Past Your Eyes]

You have no idea what you are talking about.

[Osage Orange]

Yes.

And why I posted...........

Subsequently, I tend to question those folks between 48 and 62 who claim never to have sampled some pot or taken a wiff.

I am 49 and I never did. It was all around me in public high school, but I never even considered partaking.

I'm 50.

And I'm with ya all the way.

Had a 'Pub said this, well we know what the drill is.

Big Ears gets a pass.

The first of many to come.

Seriously as a Dem, it will make no difference. It will be spun as an attack on him and somehow be made into a positive, he's fighting off an unjust attack type of thing. This guy is their great white hope.

If it was a Republican it would be used too destroy the candidate.

[bpjam]

let's see. Obama admits to using cocaine and drugging himself into delusion. W was 'accused' by nobody of using cocaine in college yet the mere possibility that he did caused the entire US media to run stories about it. Hmmmm..

[Palladin]

Hillary and her minions are off to a busy start in 2007.

Not that I like Obama as a candidate. He is a Marxist leftist, as far left as the Hildebeast.

The tried and true campaign tactic of the Marxists is the Big Smear.

We'll see if Obama's handlers have the balls to go after Hillary the same way.

[oceanview]

actually, there are - they are just all unelectable.

[Steely Tom]

Honestly Hildy, I was a self-indulgent hedonist and I didn't take offense at PYE's comment. I didn't think he was talking about me personally. My feelings of solidarity with the brotherhood of self-indulgent hedonists are so attenuated that I hardly notice them any more.

If PYE got through the '60's without getting high, I say good for him. It was all BS anyway, and getting high never did anyone any good. Let it go, why don't cha?

[Steely Tom]

Please see above...

[onyx]

Smart move. He put it out there first.

[Past Your Eyes]

Thank you, ST. You said it better than I did. Hildy makes at least two mistakes about me:

1. That there can never be a conservative Republican candidate come along who would pass my sniff test, and

2. That I don't know how to hold my nose in the voting booth. Believe me, I'm pretty good at that.
