why do liberals deny the evil of drug abuse except for when a conservative gets caught?

Question

Ted Kennedy drunk - ok
FDR 12 martinis a day - ok
Carter smoked weed with Willie - ok
Bill Clinton weed and coke - ok because he didn't inhale lol
Obama - coke fiend is ok
Gore a major pot head - ok

Bush used to drink, rumors of coke - very bad
Rush self medicated pain - very bad

Answer 1

You forgot Marion Barry. Coke and prostitutes, then re-elected as mayor.

Answer 2

Aside from the Kennedy point, none of what you claim has ever been substanciated.

But to answer the question, drug use isn't bad or evil. Addiction is the major problem. We don't need to compound the problem by adding criminal charges to the mix.

The point about Bush and Limbaugh is simple. They are hypocrites. If they would stop support policies that would have hurt themselves and other addicts, this wouldn't be an issue.

Answer 3

Well see here is the strange thing. There are some bible thumping Conservatives who all to quick to point out that the liberals are drug using hippies.

So when one of their own party does it. It's so wonderful to point it out just to let those who think it's not strictly a liberal thing.

When a preacher is having guy homosexual sex it is worse the a parishioner then a having gay homosexual sex.

when the bottomline is still homosexual sex.

Answer 4

Might I suggest to you that substance use (or abuse) by either public figures or common citizens points to another issue entirely?



People choose to use (or abuse) substances.



Google: Libertarian party



The significant factor is whether a person has some self-control (sense of moderation) or none.



Not whether they choose to indulge.

Answer 5

Because the conservatives are the sanctimonious purveyors of "Family values". You know, no drugs, sexual abstinence, against abortion and gays.



We're just pointing out the supreme hypocrisy of people who preach that message and live by the opposite of it.



Understand now?

Answer 6

You forgot about Marion Barry-crack and hookers

Nancy Pelosi-LSD

Harry Reid-LSD, mushrooms and weed

Gary Studds-gay sex with underage pages and crack

Jesse Jackson-crack and weed

Answer 7

you are a man after my own heart. thank you. i do have to say i once smoked to puffs of marj, it saved my life. who told me to do it, my doctor, my blood pressure had reached 280 and my heart stopped twice, so i cannot condemn pot. my doctor did tell me i could get a prescription for it , but i didn't, couldn't do it. so does that make me a dope head?

Answer 8

Kind of like the Republican speaking for Christian morals - and getting caught with an underage male sex partner

Answer 9

they are also drug takers, they it is good for it makes them live happier until the last moment,also drug brings a lot of money to some people connected to liberals so how can they forbid the Lucretius activities of their friends.

Answer 10

We only decry the hypocrisy of the Limbaughs and their fatheaded brethren.

Answer 11

When you figure that one out let me know, because I haven't a clue. Their entire rationale for most things is inane.

Answer 12

You are obviously not paying attention to yourself,or you could figure this out.

Answer 13

it's the hypocrisy they point out

Answer 14

Answer 15

GOOD JOB...KEEP EXPOSING THE LIB IDIOCY!

Answer 16
