Bush Using Drugs To Control Depression, Erratic Behavior

Gibberish. Bush is actually in great physical shape, there's no way to fake running for miles everyday, his Secret Service agents have to be in top shape to keep up. The anti-Bush crowd is so desperately trying to find flaws that they resort to making up this kind of garbage, it's funny in a pathetic kind of way.

Flaws? If you want flaws go see realchange.org/bushjr.htm

He has a long history of corruption, greed, cowardice, incompetence, alcoholism, and cocaine use. I find the allegations in the above article to be totally within his personality traits.

I have an acquaintance who drinks up to 24 cups of coffee a day, smokes, a drinks to the point of clinical alcoholism, and commonly runs five miles a day, every day. So being in "great shape" is not an indicator for some people.

It is said that addictive personalities do everything in excess, even running, so it isn't that big of a stretch, and also just because the body is healthy, does not so make the mind.

If I stand for my country today...will my country be here to stand for me tomorrow?

Sounds like me. But I gave up running because the ice cubes kept falling out of my Scotch.<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain <br />

Ah..the things people make up. Come on! If I ran everyday (which I could never do due to an old sport injury from good ol hockey) Id be as right as ran.
Just because some does run everyday doesnt mean there doing great though. Also, just because you read something in a newspaper or an article doesn''t mean its true.
Fine line people, fine line.

Regardless, I think we can conclude that George Dubya Bush is not a nice person, to say the least.

You cannot conclude that he's not a nice person on the basis of his political policies, would you conclude that all Boxers are not nice people because of their profession? It would be difficult to determine wether or not he's a nice guy without having had the opportunity to hang out with him. No one wants a Mr. Nice Guy for their leader anyhow, they want someone that's gonna win for them, Jimmy Carter learned that the hard way.

Not sure about the nice guy assessment, you don't have to know a person intimately to see their actions as, not nice; mass murderers are not 'nice' people, even though they may have tender moments, I don't need to hang out with rapists, murderers or thieves to know they aren't nice. Same goes for people who use their job to bomb, invade and destroy countries, or refuse to be merciful or objective to prisoners facing death row.

I actually think having clinical depression (and maybe a phobia) proves that he's human after all. He looks to me to be a pretty friendly, but ignorant guy, probably like a lot of people in the south-west. He grew up in a business environment, with Protestant Fundamentalism and republican conservatism as his main influences. I think Bush is less to blame than people think. I mean, if he actually challenged his masters, they'd just get rid of him. Kennedy learned the hard way. I think Jeb Bush in Florida is worse.

Agreed, there is no logic there at all.

I mean, if he actually challenged his masters, they'd just get rid of him. Hindenberg learned the hard way. I think Joe Stalin in Russia is worse.

Hi anonymous coward. Glad to see you back.

I'll be perfectly honest with you, I dislike Bush's policies as much as the next person, but don't try and tell me he is comparable to Hitler and Stalin. Hitler and Stalin were dictators with huge amounts of power. Bush is the head of a huge bureaucracy, with an unelected branch of government, senate and congress. SURE, Bush has power on paper, but if he used it against the wishes of the money that backs him up, he'd probably just bumped off or politically destroyed the next election--right on script.

Honestly, I think Canadians should get a life. Stop talking about Bush. Do you honestly think Kerry will be less aggressive? Our problem is our politics, not American politics. Bush is one guy. He doesn't write U.S. policy. He doesn't think the way you do, so accept it. It's laughable and quite childish to have a thread about someone's medical history. Apparently it's now illegal to be on medication. If his health gets in the way, it's the job of those around him to take over his duties. This is what Dick Cheney is for.
