I'll say it again since you ignored it the last time:

I'm not saying that proves or disproves anything about Ron Paul, but your statement in his defense is simply not true.

I wasn't addressing the remarks about whether or not ron paul is a doper, I was addressing the false statement you made in defense of those remarks.

I couldn't care less if Ron Paul smokes crack, it matters not, since he is not going to be elected president, I posted because your statement was false and I wanted to point that out to you.

While we're at it, let's look at what you said here:

So a doctor who takes a drink is then a "doper"?

hate to be the one to point this out but... a doper is someone who uses drugs to alter their mood and their mindset... and... alchohol is a drug that is certainly used by most to accomplish that goal.

I grasp your point about self-medicaters. I was focusing on the word 'doper'. Let me suggest that if you took a poll, 99.9% of Americans would identify "dopers" as users of illegal drugs. A few might, maybe, say "illegal drugs and alcohol". I'm talking about "doper" as a word and what it means to Americans.

Dopers are dopers and drinkers are drinkers to the average Joe in the street. Joe Blow doesn't include drinkers in the doper category.
