Read my post and the rest of the thread again - you'll see that was my
only other post in this thread, and I've made no claim to know whether
or not Bush is drinking again. My point is not that he is (or is not)
drinking - but that it is very relevant if he is. What an individual
gets up to in private, in his own time, is his own business - but not
when it is part of his public persona. What Clinton did after hours in
his own office with another consenting adult is his own business - lying
in court is a public affair. If any of the other top government people
get drunk at the weekend, that's their own affair - but Bush has
publicly committed himself to his born-again Christian non-drinking
image. A substantial proportion of his vote was based on the theory
that God is on his side, so a lapse becomes a big lie to a great many
Americans.
If he is in fact getting drunk (rather than just having the odd drink),
then it is a very different issue again. Being the president of the USA
is rather different from other jobs - there is no such thing as being
off duty. He is "on call" all the time - whether he is at the office or
on his ranch. He is responsible for immediate action of devastating
consequences at extremely short notice - and should therefore never be
drunk.
Im sure that it would be relevant to your employers if they find out
about your addiction. Or the fact that you, like Bush, are simply
puppets, influenced by mind control rays operated by Grays, from their
black helicopters in L5.
Its absolutely fascinating to watch the Bush haters drift off into
whimsey...or rather , an attempt to demonize, simply because they are
still suffereing angst that they are no longer controlling the
country, and are not likely to do for any foreseeable future.
Its actually quite pathetic. They simply cannot understand that the
People have rejected them and their failed policies of the past 40+
yrs, and rather than use a bit of introspection and self examination,
continue to spew the same vitrol filled mantras, and push the same
failed policies, but now even more shrilly, that cost them more and
more elections.
I should mention at this time, that even the Conservatives are not
happy in full, with Bush. He is too moderate for most. So while you
are hoping and praying that the next election cycle will return you to
the Shining TImes of Liberalism...you are ignoring the simple
fact..that the next election cycle will see a change alright..but it
will be a change ever farther to the Right, not to the Left.
You may wish to self terminate, or learn to suck it up, ruck up and
drive on.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
Think of it as having your older brother knock the shit out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
