Did Jim Robinson Really Post This Back In '99?

So, it doesn't matter if he [Bush] snorted coke as a youth? It was a long time ago, a youthful in-discretion? Kinda like people who frequented sneakeasies during prohibition? Kind of a cute story, eh? Well, how about all the people whose lives have been destroyed by being arrested for the felony of drug possession? What about the millions of people who are rotting away in your filthy drug infested prisons at this very moment?

Well, by God, if you people insist on electing another cokehead as President, you damned well better throw open all the prison cell doors and free every man, woman, and child you're holding on drug charges. And if you're gonna elect another drug felon as President, you'd better rescind each and every one of your unconstitutional drug laws now on the books, including all of your unconstitutional search and seizure laws, and your asset forfeiture laws, and your laws that enable your unconstitutional snooping into our bank accounts and cash transactions. Well, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You people are sick! Conservatives my ass. You people are nothing but a bunch of non-thinking hypocrits! You're a shame and a disgrace to the Republic!

And, I, for one, am tired of taking orders from cokeheads and felons! Elect another one and I'll tell you what. I'll be ready for war! It'll be time to take up arms and run the filthy lying bastards out!

I think the fact that I am still here, proves this article false. I am a great Bush basher and have been for many years. But I bash from the right not the left.

Shortly after this post, Jimrob was banned or suspended for a week.

Yep, the BB will grab this thread,if they haven't already done so, and all have a pile-on;that's for sure and certain...especially since a LePer jumped on this thread VERY early on.

I have to admit, you have me there. Was this where He told them it was none of their business?

Any explanation or correction is appreciated.

[nopardons]

No he wasn't. LOL

Unlike all of you on this thread, I was here when that was posted and remember it AND how it all went.

The way I got back on FR was by googling, too.

I found a back door in, via this google result:

Why not just visit the Yahoo FR Emergency site and info about how to get on was being dispatched after a while.

[Dog Gone]

That's correct. Bush's public position is that questions about ancient prior indiscretions are not fair game and will never stop if answered.

He's answered the questions to personal friends.

No humor allowed. Kerry says this is serious business.

Have you ever heard of shooting your own feet off with your mouth? Probably not, stumpy.

[Solson]

Weren't we discussing trolls and disruption just a bit earlier?

I would rather dispute this story, for any of a number of reasons, but mostly because George W. Bush is a Republican, not a Democrat. Basic difference in world view. Practically everybody who has surrendered to a full-blown addiction, to the point where intervention and detox were needed, has, in the end, turned to the gospels as preached by the Democrats. For these people, there is no sense of having sinned, only that they are now clean and sober, at least on the short term.

I grant you, there are individuals who have gone through the same valley of shadows and darkness, and emerged on the other side, and today are practicing and believing Republicans. But they are rare, and do not normally rise to high levels in society. And they repent of their sins, recognizing them as such.

Because some of us weren't aware that even existed until we found a way back on to FR and read up on the DNS problem.

I bow before Landru....:)

I'm assuming you were typing for those near totally blind posters?

[Recovering_Democrat]

huh?

"Well, by God, if you people insist on electing another cokehead as President, you damned well better throw open all the prison cell doors and free every man, woman, and child you're holding on drug charges."

If rumors of breaking a questionable law decades ago should prohibit one from becoming president like you say, then there’d be no one left to run. I didn’t care if Clinton did drugs and I don’t care if Bush did them. I just care if they have the character to have grown out of such self destructive behavior.
