The day he put down the drink was the day his character changed!

Based on his actions, his character hasn't.

His behavior showed recklessness, lack of accountability, and a disregard for other people. He's displayed these characteristics in spades in the past four years. Sorry if recovering alcoholics are insulted (I'm not saying Red Dawn is an alcoholic). Again, he's the president and it's important.

His behavior showed immaturity, something he along with most grow out of.

LOL, you make it out as if the Dub made all the decisions himself.

WTF does anything said in this thread have to do with recovering Alchies? Oh I get it, according to you the Dub is addicted to booze and those of us who take umbrage at your underhanded insult must be Alchies too (you can take your disengenious disclaimer and shove it up your arse)

Look as most here know I am no fan of the Dub . There are plenty of things to knock the Dub about but one that isn't is the issue of the Dub and booze because there is no issue there.

So it's not important because it's not important?

I think the character of the President of the United States is important. I think the core of a person's mind is set once they reach adulthood. Bush is damaged goods. It's important.

Well most aren't buying your BS!
 
NPR also broadcast a similar report earlier this year. Some of Mr. Archibald's comments are included in the NPR report.

However, for some strange reason, there's no mention of either Babba Groom or Joe Holcomb in the Salon report.

Very important.
 
Actually, I have known addicted people who recovered and became stronger and better people as a result of overcoming their problem/addiction. It depends on what you do with the lessons learned. I?d also be willing to bet that Mr. Bush believes he had some assistance from higher power, as indeed, many people who have overcome addictions believe. And while these things may be true, it does not necessarily mean that he is qualified to be president, or that God is choreographing his presidency.

BTW, I have seen Rip post in other forums recently. My guess is that he began to understand how much everyone detested the sheer number of whacked posts.

??? Kerry was 22 when he entered the navy. Bush was about that age OR older when he was a lazy campaign worker. Bush's alcoholism lasted into the 80's. You're trying to say that there are tons of reckless young people, so who cares what Bush was like. Well there ARE TONS of dedicated young people like Kerry. Bush was incompetent in his twenties and he is incompetent now. You can't say the same for his opponent.

That's true. Kerry worked long and hard to become the incompetent bastard he is today! :evil::laugh::evil:

The thing is, Bush never overcame his addiction. He did not go through any sort of recovery or rehabilitation.
All he did was put down the bottle. He is simply a dry drunk and several people who have analyzed his character and actions in the last years have been able to find very strong and specific proof of this (I'll try to find some reports). He didn't learn anything except that Laura was glad he stopped.

If true, at least he's a hard worker, unlike more-vacations-than-any-other-prez-during-wartime shrub. :laugh:
