The point isn't party lines. The point is ALL of these politicians have their priorities screwed up. They put their jobs before their children. I don't care if you are the President, the Pope, or joe blow from down the block. If your children are in trouble (and I mean the substance abuse itself, not the legal troubles that ensue), you need to HELP THEM. The only thing any one of the guys y'all mentioned did was work extra hard to do damage control with the press and make sure their kids didn't face jail time (not for the kids' sake, but because it would have tarnished their political record).
I don't just have an issue with Jeb Bush for this one. I have an issue with anyone who would put their own political agenda ahead of their children's wellbeing. Oh yeah, and the whole differential treatment of their children versus an "everyday" person guilty of the same offense. That double standard is what pisses me off the most, and ALL politicians and people in power are guilty of it, Democrat, Republican, black, white, doesn't matter.
