I know what people are capable of. If Obama thought he would just sweep this one under the rug and get by, than the people are being niave believing in this crap. Bullchips, and braggin about "buying blow" "whenever he had the chance" makes it ok? Oh, he's reformed now,he's a Senator WTF? What's next? about Clinton I was joking, marijauna is no big deal really and IS accpetable in our current society except for in the eyes of the Government, ie: medical marijuana and personal use no doubt used by half of America in their lives at one time or another. Narcotics  are dangerous, hence their name a controlled substance not marijauna but I will not argue that fact at this time.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Secondly who gives a damn about President Bush, I didn't vote for him~ &lt;BR/&gt;Your reaching there with your alcohol and pain killer use, if people choise to abuse them that IS there decison. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;NOT a Presidential hopeful braggin about his substance abuse when he was a youngster, Oh, he is free and clear becuz of his status now?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; People want someone they can look up to and trust in.

He was young once, too.  If you don't think that nearly all of the politicians have dried some form of illegal drug(probably marijuana or cocaine) at some point in their life(probably high school/college), you're a lot more naive than you think.  Hell, our current president spent his youth drinkin' and snortin' it up in Texas while avoiding the draft, yet the religious right can't seem to get enough of him.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Reading on, it seems that you have no problem with Bill Clinton's marijuana usage(he inhaled), but are particularly antagonized by Obama admitting to using cocaine in the past.  Why?  Marijuana is illegal also, and according to the Federal Drug Schedule list, is more dangerous than cocaine.  This ignores the facts, but that's not the issue at hand.  If Obama's drug usage should ban him from being elected President because of the illegality of it, then the marijuana should be more damning than the cocaine, not vice-versa.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Why make any distinction between drug usage, be it cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, or tobacco?  Why, let's go ahead and add pharmaceuticals in there too.  These are all drugs, and many of the legal drugs are just as or more damaging or intoxicating than cocaine, including alcohol.  If cocaine usage has damned Osama, shouldn't usage of alcohol, caffeine, or strong-painkillers be enough to damn everyone that's used those as well?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Should we expect all public figures to be Supermen?  Standing tall, flawless in word and deed, dispensing justice with one hand and wisdom with the other?  While that would be great, they are, at best, only human.  Admitting to past drug usage is absolutely nothing to worry about in a politician, and I vastly prefer it to the bald-faced lying all the others seem to do.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4943605940584575027/3414202452739211165/comments/default/7256811590540079420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4943605940584575027/3414202452739211165/comments/default/7256811590540079420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harleyblues2007.blogspot.com/2008/02/drugs-politics-and-musicians.html?showComment=1203524220000#c7256811590540079420' title=''/><author><name>Tyler</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://harleyblues2007.blogspot.com/2008/02/drugs-politics-and-musicians.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943605940584575027.post-3414202452739211165' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4943605940584575027/posts/default/3414202452739211165' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943605940584575027.post-6673569156360487707</id><published>2008-02-10T07:48:23.220-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-10T07:48:23.220-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hiya Gilannice to see someone understanding my poi...</title><content type='html'>Hiya Gilan&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;nice to see someone understanding my point here lol It's a brillant lil Beatles song isn'?t .. hahah I like the opening statement....&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I like usin music mixed in postin heheheh&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Not guilty the Usual suspects&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;pls do visit again &lt;BR/&gt;ta&lt;BR/&gt;hb</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4943605940584575027/3414202452739211165/comments/default/6673569156360487707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4943605940584575027/3414202452739211165/comments/default/6673569156360487707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harleyblues2007.blogspot.com/2008/02/drugs-politics-and-musicians.html?showComment=1202658503220#c6673569156360487707' title=''/><author><name>harleyblues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10346881489841105187</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08788304823207762804'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://harleyblues2007.blogspot.com/2008/02/drugs-politics-and-musicians.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943605940584575027.post-3414202452739211165' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4943605940584575027/posts/default/3414202452739211165' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943605940584575027.post-3480674051372259930</id><published>2008-02-10T05:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-10T05:01:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Really cool video.
