      You know who's kept the coke market afloat in this country? Super-rich, Reaganite, insider-trading die-hard capitalist Republican cobags. Just sayin'.
      Oh, and Glenn Montana. Obviously.

        Cocaine is Nature's way of telling you that you're making too much money.

      No they would rather pick and choose the freedoms they think Americans deserve. What a bunch if as8clowns. Hypocricy 101 in session at the Christian People Acting Crazy Convention. How can you be in favor of locking up thousands of people on non violent offenses and at the same time advocate for individual freedom?

      I admire any public official/high profile individual who is willing and able to expose not only the good things about him/herself but also the bad. At least President Obama didn't lie about using cocaine when he was younger.

      People on Mattera's side of the aisle like Palin, Vitter, Gingrich, Foley, Craig, Ensign, Sanford, and others make a conscious choice to either lie or pretend it didn't happen and are immediately welcomed back into the fold with wide open arms.

      You're definitely one to talk, Mr. Mattera, when you have the world's greatest collection of mmonsters in your own political party.

        Conservatives use drugs too... I recall a matter involving George W. Bush regarding marijuana, where he responded to his friend that
        he "wouldn’t answer the dope questions... Because [he] [didn’t] want some little kid doing what [he] tried." I could even respect that answer, but conservatives always make the mistake of taking the holier then though approach...

          You pretty much nailed it. I don't care if people have a spotty past. Lord knows I'm no angel. And as you mentioned, Bush at least had an undertone of humility when saying that. However, it's that damn "holier than thou" approach that blows my damn mind. Don't get self righteous about it, no human being is perfect.

        Come now, Bush never actually admitted to cocaine use. Surely we can agree that a failing-upward silver-spoon son of privilege businessman in the 1980's would have never snorted cocaine. It just doesn't fit the character of the man, nor the culture of upper echelon businessmen of the time.

      So this guy is saying that the women on the right are beautiful and the women on the left are ugly old hags? I thought that they whined and complained about liberals attacking conservative women. One wonders how they can look in the mirror with all their hypocrisies.

        The President, in one of his books, admitted to using drugs as a teenager. I might add, unlike the Conservative's "darling" and CPAC's 2009 keynote speaker, Rush Limbaugh, who was "caught" just a few years ago.
