Yes; there is a DUI conviction in Maine. There are probably other things in his record, too, but the Maine DUI is the only document I've seen a copy of myself.
Absolutely!
However, I'm pretty sure that prison wages are taxable (although there's no way anyone can go over the federal tax cutoff - which, when I was growing up, was like $5k/year income) so be careful what you wish for...

I didn't know that. Actually, I'm surprised that I never heard that before....especially from certain groups (M.A.D.D etc..) around election time.

As expected, this group of traders is somewhat more Republican than Democrat. Same here, although I call myself an Independent, usually tilt more towards the R than the D side.
I really think that George has been doing an excellent job as a President: he took a lot of risks and pushed hard to pour money in the economy and get us out of the recession that he inherited from Clinton, pushed good reforms for education and medicare, paid the usual lip service to an energy strategy and the environment (following to a T the unfortunate priorities of the vast majority of Americans) and, most of all, defended this country with a fervor and decisiveness that gave the world serious notice to behave or else.
The clamor around the globe about the so called "American aggression" is the expected scream of fear and anxiety of those who are not our friends: Islamist extremists who hate us for supporting Israel - and parts of Europe (eg, France and Germany) who see us a their strategic competitor. It's their problems and impotence they are trying to accuse us for - at least until they need us next time.
Now the events at Iraq with the prisoner abuses are downright shameful and disgusting, giving us all Americans a terrible black eye for years to come. But why would anyone blame Bush for that? The Army is a gigantic organization with well known problems that they have been addressing for a long time. The average soldier is by far less well educated and informed than the average American, not to mention under a whole lot more stress that the rest of us, and therefore, maybe, MAYBE, prone to some mean behavior from time to time (witness the sex scandals in their own training institutions.) Or, maybe I'm grasping at staws here, trying to find a decent explanation about what happend in that prison. They need to accept responsibility for their mistakes and try to clean up their act, without blaming anyone else. Loading this on the President is a politically motivated cheap act of cowardice that is extremely easy to see through, and most people do. Of course, we all see what we want to see (including myself) and therefore, I expect no change in this type of behavior at least until November.
The bottom line is that George Bush has restored the decency and transparency that the Presidency lost under Clinton; the economy is very strong and doing better and better every day; and those who don't love us fear us. Under these terrible conditions we all found ourselves in after 9/11, how much better can it get? Not much

I'll tell you why. Most of these 'felons' were only convicted of drug crimes. So they broke a dumb political prohibition law...big deal.
I think the real knee-jerk was that the democrats thought gore had it lucked up against a schmuck like bush.
i mean, come on! whoever thought that a friggin' halfwit drunk like dumya could ever be president!?
and, who the fuck ever woulda thought that after he proved to the world what an unbelievably worthless pile of shit he really was that anyone would be stupid enough to vote for him again..
i mean, what's his slogan gonna be? "shit for president," or maybe "vote bush, get dick"??
anyone dumb enough to vote for him deserves this mess.
C'mon bunqrider,
GWB beat his opponent fair and square and he is our President. Grow up and learn to live with it, instead of throwing insults around - a loser's behavior that only proves your own immaturity.
Imo, his presidency has been fantastic - and as a result, chances are that he'll get a second term in November. So, get ready for another four years with the same administration and policies. If you don't like it, tough - you can always join the whiners' club that Gore founded and Kerry will preside over soon!
Btw, despite what you Dems are saying, it is clear to the American people that GWB is a happily married, very well educated, self-made multi-milionnaire who's triumphed in politics and is leading this great country in the right direction. Beat that with a stick

It was hardly fair as we all know, and the oponent was as lame as Kerry... Well, Bush will get re-elected. The morons have won as a friend of mine once observed and this tide is not so easy to reverse. Trends do not change so easily... Screw it, I will be moving to Canada before the morons take over completely...
I hope you freeze your ass off......you socialist piece of shit.
BTW: Your grammar is atrocious.
electron,
Not to start this again, but we all know that Bush's win was scrutinized from here to Sunday by the Dems and was established as fair by the highest court of the land. Even Gore accepted that fact. Those who lost resent his victory and some are still whining about it... but who cares?
