Dirty Politics - 24 year old Drunk Driving "Breaking News" on Bush - Page 7

milkman · 11-02-2000, 11:03 PM

I'm surprised none of our resident political types have started this, but its a slow night, so what the hell.

On the eve of the election, a Portland, Maine reporter broke the story that GW was arrested for drunk driving in 1976. This is, of course, the political equivalent of a brand new Ferrari for the liberal press, and they've got it red-lined already.

Thoughts on this:

1. Funny how this broke four days before the election. I'm sure the Gore camp had nothing to do with it... [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif[/img]

2. IT WAS 24 YEARS AGO! It's not like the guy got crocked and plowed into a school bus last week.

3. The libs are painting this as a character issue, labeling GW a hypocrit for not disclosing this incident, yet railing on the moral indiscretions of Gore and Clinton. GW says he kept it quiet because he didn't want his kids to know about it. Hmm... it seems to me that the President of the United States lying under oath is a bit more damning that not disclosing that GW once got a DUI decades ago. Perhaps that's just me.

4. GW says he quit drinking 14 years ago.

5. Like the guy drives himself anywhere, anyway!

I hope the American public can see this for what it so obviously is - a timebomb Gore has known about, probably for months, that is dropped at the 11th hour in an attempt to salvage his mercifully-failing campaign. This is dirty politics at its worst. As a result of this, I support GW more strongly than ever now.

JC Johnny:

But somebody told me that the Austin thing was true. Geez, its gotta be because I want to believe it...sort of like the Clinton rape allegations and the Clinton drug allegations and the Clinton murder allegation. I mean, thats how it works right-- if somebody, anybody makes the claim, why it must be true?

Am I missing something here?

I'm getting dizzy. Better have another beer.

Titus:

In my case, it is true. I wouldn't hold any of it against W. But what of all these people that used to say character WAS an issue? Why the backtracking now.

See my point?

mmmm...beer...I am working up quite a thirst talking all this politics stuff.

Drew: first one's on me.

Gracie Dean · 11-03-2000, 02:31 PM

Cut the crap Donkey. you didn't say, someone told me something was true. YOU SAID - - I SAW THE ARREST REPORT.

Tell ya' what. This BB accepts HTML. Run that arrest report through your scanner and post that baby RIGHT HERE!!

It wasn't just "anybody" that brought up the Clinton rape charge. It was 2 Arkansas state troopers. And it was recorded.

Clinton's criminal past is well documented, and despite the witchhunt, the majority of Americans just don't care.

It's too bad really, because many people that have no ties to the Republicans whatsoever would agree that Clinton is one of the sneakiest, crookedest presidents ever.

No, I just saw somebody claiming there was a second arrest and decided to believe him for shits and giggles and to prove a point. I can no more PROVE that Bush had a second DUI than you can PROVE that Clinton raped or killed anybody. Kind of annoying, isn't it?

Raiderhater · 11-03-2000, 02:39 PM

Oh you mean the time that Clinton killed Vince Foster? Everyone knows he was behind that. -- Im kidding.

I just heard that Clinton had an affair with a young intern and then blamed a vast right wing conspiracy and bombed an aspirin factory to show he was still in charge!<BR>

ansonsdad · 11-03-2000, 02:47 PM

Yea everyone knows Bill is a freaking saint. There have been people dropping dead all around that guy ever since he has been in office. I am sure it is all just a huge coincidence.

Devin Vierth · 11-03-2000, 02:48 PM

Big Daddy,

We have been over that before... [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

It's a flamer...

I guess there's no need to address the fact that the people that first reported the "rape" incident, as well as many other incidents while Bill was governor, were ARKANSAS STATE TROOPERS?

Oh I see. Get caught with your hand in the cookie jar and you pull the old switcheroo by distorting what you think "someone like me" might say. I have never posted, here or anywhere, regarding the rape allegations or the Vince Foster suicide. I hold those matters to the same level of scrutiny I hold you.

That said, there is a qualitative difference between hearing the allegations of another and finding them sufficiently credible to warrant attention and stating you have proof positive of an allegation you overheard somewhere. Those who discuss the rape allegations say, "I believe her," or "I believe he is capable of that," or it "fits a pattern." They don't blast on here with
"HAAA!! I just watched a tape of Clinton f*^&king some chick who was tied to a bed and screaming."

Then later say they were 'just trying to make a point.'
