A DUI is not bad luck, it is poor decision making. President Bush obviously overcame his past based on his recent performance. It is his recent performance that he was re-elected on.
Your argument is based on a false premise. It is not stealing versus drinking, it is stealing versus a DUI. You try to minimize one deviant behavior and excuse it while demonizing the other. Have you ever been hit by a drunk driver? Have you lost a loved one because of DUI? Yet, knowing the risks to others, drunks get behind the wheel and lie to themselves thinking they will cause no harm. If you want to talk about honesty, the most dishonest people are drunks who get behind the wheel thinking they will do no harm.
While making the comparison, you ignore recent behavior. Both men are flawed and both had sins in a distant past, yet, you want the past to stick to one but not the other? Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
Why not judge people by who they are and what they are doing now? There is plenty of damning evidence to disqualify this guy and most any democrat. Why is that not enough?
You come off looking extremely petty and just plain silly trying to say one sin committed 20 years ago is worse than another, that one is OK and another will disqualify you for life.
Bottom line is, your logic is flawed. You are holding Republicans to one standard, a lower one, and Democrats to a higher one. This is the very behavior that makes my head spin when it comes to the media, but it's always Republicans held to the higher standard. So what do we do, we demand an even playing field. But even isnt what you want. You are no better than the libs in the press who tilt the news in favor of Dems. This does nothing for our party but make us look exactly like Dims to the uninformed because the bottom line behavior is exactly the same.
My advice to you is to grow up and live in the here and now. Take the plank out of your own eye so you can see clearly when taking the splinter out of others eyes. You are what is wrong with the Republican party. We do not convince others we are different by acting like Democrats. If it's a disgusting practice when Dims do it, it is just as disgusting and vile when Republicans do it.
read my ENTIRE post... it's real simple.
Start at the left hand side of the page and go to the right. If you have a problem with that try this. The side opposite of the hand you pick your nose with... start on that side and read what I said about drunk driving.
I said that both reveal character flaws.

You just wanted to rant about some BS. So go for it. My advice to YOU is to spit out the vinegar and water and quit acting like a douche bag. If you're going to flame me at least flame me for what I've written.
I'll repeat myself... BOTH DUI and stealing reveal character flaws. If having to chose between a drunk and a thief I'll take NEITHER.
I said that I'd take the man that admitted his inability to drink without getting behind the wheel and killing someone versus an unrepentant thief. I'll always take the guy that accepts responsibility for his actions and deals with it.
As far as the plank in the eye and the splinter in my finger or whatever... puhleeze. Ya just had to get the Christian thing in cause we know that you've got that market cornered also.
Find something or somebody else to rant on... like maybe go to a parking lot and yell at some kids or something cause it looks like you're just itching for an excuse to rant on about how we should overlook dems and not be judgmental about character issues.
Hey, we got a guy that smoked pot, "blew some coke" and might have even tried heroin presently occupying the Oval Office. I'm not worried about that. I'm more worried that he believes the utopian fantasy of communal living as taught by Charles Fourier,Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
trust me on this. I'm not what is wrong with the Republican party. I'm not in the Republican party. I'm a conservative that's it. Nothing fancy, just a squirrel trying to get his nut.
sounds like you're just like me... but the other way around.
