Common sense is all that is needed for proof of that children of the rich and powerful both Democrat and Republican always get breaks the rest of us would not.You realize of course that had nothing to do with being the Bush girls father being a Republican if President Obama's kids tied to buy beer while being underage they would not have been arrested either.Staffer, journalist, or pundit saying it does not make it any less wrong or offensive as for the Bush girls yes they and a million other 19 year old's broke that same law and I would bet a good number of the people who attacked them for it broke the same law when they were 19. That does not make what they did right but it does put it in a little perspective.Agreed... I didn't agree with this when it was done on the Bush Twins and I don't agree with it now...
Difference here now is that this is a GOP staffer... Not a journalist or pundit who either party can't control...
Also the Bush twins broke the law...
Here's some perspective for you.
My niece got caught drinking at the same age as the bush girls. The difference was that the police arrested my niece. She had to go to court and pled guilty to the charge of drinking under age. She had to do community service for a year and not even be in the company of a person who was drinking or drunk until she was 21 years old. So if she was a designated driver for a drunk friend and got caught, she would have gone to jail. She didn't violate the conditions and when she turned 21 she was in the clear.
I would be willing to bet the same thing didn't happen to the bush girls. In fact, I'm sure it didn't. The fact that they were caught drinking more than once is confirmation of it.
That's one of my problems with what happened. Why is it that they get special treatment and my niece had to go through all that garbage because she got caught drinking under age? If the bush girls had been treated the same way as every other person under 21, I wouldn't have had a problem with it.
When I was 19 Jimmy Carter was president and the drinking age laws had not been changed to 21 years old. By the time reagan changed the laws for all the states by refusing transportation money if they didn't increase the drinking limit, I was already over 21 years old. I wasn't breaking any laws when I drank at the age of 19.
My personal belief on drinking, if a person is old enough to be sent off to sacrifice their life for our nation, they're old enough to drink.
Have you proof of that?
Carter (Jimmy's Son John) served during the Vietnam War, on the salvage shipUSS Grapple (ARS-7). He received a "less than honorable" general discharge in late 1970 after he and 53 classmates were caught smoking marijuana at the Navy Nuclear Power School in Idaho Falls, Idaho.[1]
