GW, Cheney, and all the other Repubs you don't like have made decisions, have had the courage of their convictions and have answered for the consequences of their actions. You may not like these guys but you have to admit they have been consistent in their actions. The Dems on the other hand found it fun to take pot shots at the Administration, talked a big game to get into a leadership role and now that they have to do something, can not. They have turned on themselves and have brought the Congress to its knees. It's not Pelosi's fault it's Reid....no no no it's not Reid, it's Pelosi...no no no it's someone else.

Instead of a drunk driving charge, the drunk officers were given a free ride home.<BR/><BR/>Funny, Governor Douglas seems quiet on this one.<BR/><BR/>I thought he was concerned about equitable application of our laws. And avoiding the appearance that those in positions of authority and trust are above the law.<BR/><BR/>Shouldn't he be calling for all drunk driving cop cases in Colchester to be referred directly to the Public Safety Commissioner?<BR/><BR/>I'm disappointed with Gov. Douglas. His "politics first" style is becoming too obvious to ignore or forgive. Especially --such as in the area of drug issues --when it hurts real people.<BR/><BR/>Bobby Sands, on the other hand, has been acting like a responsible grown up. The same goes for TJ Donovan. Donovan seems to be handling the Colchester police situation directly, but with dignity and restraint. He'd make a good governor.<BR/><BR/>I feel for the police officers. Their job is stressful on many levels. It would be hard to arrest a friend or fellow officer. Especially knowing that such an arrest would perhaps subject a police officer (and the department) to extra (and sometimes mean-spirited) ridicule.<BR/><BR/>Driving drunk can be deadly. It's far more serious than possessing or smoking marijuana. But I'd still favor court diversion and job probation for first offenders.<BR/><BR/>Court diversion isn't a free pass. It's an opportunity to take responsibility for what you've done, and earn a second chance.<BR/><BR/>Douglas seems to want to end the marijuana discussion because it isn't going his way politically. But he doesn't want to take responsibility for his transgressions or earn a second chance. He wants the free ride.
