So you do something, you pay the price and 15 years later people still won't forgive you??? My God.

I was widowed by a .10 in 1994. The destruction to a family by a drunk driver never goes away after the loss of an innocent life. Tamara was only 26.

Drunk drivers kill more than any other group domestically, the Islamofascists, gangs, and other trash get a pass on this topic.

And the truth is that some republicans will NOT vote for someone with a DUI. That's what nearly sunk Bush in 2000, the moral conservatives who didn't like that he was a drunkard, didn't like being reminded, and didn't like that he lied about it by not coming clean about it.

The democrats will USE it as a weapon against republicans, but they have no principles, so they will happily trash a republican for drunk driving 15 years ago which DIDN'T involve a crash, while voting for a democrat who just ran his car into a barricade THIS YEAR.

Sometimes it sucks being a party with principles.

It's people like you that make me HATE groups like MADD, even when I'm generally sympathetic to their cause.

Drunk driving, as irresponsible as it might be is NOTHING like Terrorism or Gangs, and the people that do it are certainly not, just by the nature of driving drunk, 'trash'. There is no compairison to terrorist, gang members, or other things. NO comparison. Nada. Nothing. To compare it shows you have absolutely 0 perspective on the issue.

Drunk driving is careless people doing careless, reckless things. It's not hateful people doing hateful, murderous things. Completely different. One thing doesn't define who a person is, the other doesn't.

And before you try 'attack the messanger', let me say something: Two of my best friends were killed by a drunk driver less then 5 years ago. The kid that killed them was an irresponsible jacka$$ who deserved the jail time he got. He is not, however, even in the same category of someone who straps explosives to themselves and blows up a Cafe, or someone who shoots a grandmother to steal her purse, or someone who steers a 747 into a building. I think he's out of jail now. But he's no terrorist, nor does he deserve to be treated like one.
