The latest scurrilous line the Republicans are using in their sick and twisted campaign against Sen. John Kerry is that he lacks convictions. Perhaps they are right.
Afterall George Bush was arrested for DUI and Dick Cheney had two DUI arrests yet one never hears of Kerry having any convictions. And that doesn't even bring up the rumors that Bush was arrested for cocaine possession in 1972.
Texas author J.H. Hatfield quotes a former Yale classmate who told him: "George W. was arrested for possession of cocaine in 1972, but due to his father's connections, the entire record was expunged by a state judge whom the older Bush helped get elected. It was one of those 'behind closed doors in the judges' chambers' kind of thing between the old man and one of his Texas cronies who owed him a favor ... There's only a handful of us that know the truth."
Throw in the theft of the presidency in 2000, the "clerical mistake" Bush's lawyers made in failing to disclose an $848,560 stock sale in a timely fashion, as required by federal law, when he was on the board of directors of a Texas oil company in 1990; and his going AWOL from military service one gets a good picture of the type of convictions the Bush Cheney team hold.
