Subject: RE: BS: Dubbya, Gore and DUI
I am amazed to see that forgiveness extends to everyone but elected officials or those seeking office.

I see no relevance in opening 25 year old closets for traffic infractions. The diference tween George and I 25 years ago is he got caught and I never have.

As regards to voting for Nader. I would vote for Nader any year but this one. If Nader takes away votes from Gore and gives the supreme court to Bush we can see many liberties that we now enjoy as precidence disappear with the next appointment. ( Besides Rights to choose) I can see Miranda going away, freedoms of assembly, Speach, and Habius Corpus being so narrowly defined that we won't really know what "IS" is.

Its the local elections that matter in our lives far more that the who is President. Beyond picking the supreme court and opening up baseball season, we can do without the big guy completely.

The Pres has nothing to do with setting taxes, creating laws, or steering the ship of state beyond the end of his veto pen. The work is done by the congress and senate. As it should be.
