W. was NEVER a "cokehead", he used to drink, that doesn't make him a "drunk".
Jim -- am I wrong to think that posts like this should be pulled? If I am wrong, I won't bother the AM with similiar things in the future. Apparently the AM thought this post should stay, since it wasn't pulled, after I brought it to his/her attention.
In response to your desire to have my post pulled, I would like to point out to you and the other BushBots that my comments are about a person (with a less than perfect past) and not about conservative ideology.
Since conservative thought is not about writing a hagiography for fallable leadership, my opinion (while contradictory) on this matter is as valid as yours.
Moreover, if the moderators were to delete such statements, FR would be a place for Republicans and Bush supporters rather than for conservatives. In my mind there is a distinct difference.
It is also how I understand FR to function. In fact, if you care to remove all those items at FR critical of W. as a person and a policy-maker, you cease to have a place for discussion.
I apologize if your programming does not allow such dissent.
