"Oh I forgot-that he's like Hitler...good one."
No...sigh!!!!
What I WAS saying is that there have been too many people we have accepted as leaders while turning a blind-eye to serious flaws.
I consider Mr. Bennett's gambling a "serious flaw."
I consider Bill Clinton's inability to tell the truth a "serious flaw."
In both cases, there has not been remorse. Just a "hmm, hmm, won't do it again" kind of response.
I support George W. because his regret was true and his remorse had led him to YEARS of service.
Right, which is why I said that is ridiculous. You are comparing personal loses due to legal gambling to exterminating 6 million Jews and 5 million Poles/Russian/Gypsies...which was patently absurd.

Oh now you've stepped in it, because Bush wasn't doing unending mea culpas about the bombshell the press held til days before the campaign about his drunk driving. He just said "I'm sober now, sorry it ever happened" He should have made that public before running for Governor. Bennett's gambling didn't threaten the safety of a single person, while Bush's DUI could have killed many people, I know my aunt and uncle were killed by a drunk driver. Bush didn't get sober til years after being busted, so there's no telling how many times he did it again.
So I, unlike yourself, could most easily hold a personal grudge and say "I'm never voting for Bush because he let me down, big time" but I realize you have to look at the totality of the man, and so I don't knee jerk whenever someone says something positive about Bush into scorning lectures about the immorality of drunk driving, because it has no relation to the other issues he is talking about.
