"Have you grown up?
And have you stopped using drugs?"
 --That's the standard GW Bush says he applies to himself, and
will apply to cabinet members.

For ordinary citizens,
he supports a different standard.  
Saying, "Incarceration is rehabilitation," he has mandated
jail for possession of less than a gram of cocaine
and slashed rehab programs.

400,000 Americans are already in jail

for Nonviolent drug crimes. ( )

Thanks to Bush,
Texans are now jailed up to a year for even
"trace" amounts of cocaine.
--Despite the fact that drug treatment programs are the only
proven way to cut down on drug use. While in jail
they are unlikely to get drug treatment because
Bush has slashed the programs.

Their children often become wards of the state. Their futures are marred by a drug conviction and jail time. In Texas prisons they are actually more likely than not to contract Hepatitis B or C, both deadly diseases, and to spread these on the outside once released. And evidence overwhelmingly shows that they will be more likely to turn back to drugs as a result of their jail time.
One in nine kids has a parent in jail.
While the average sentence for murder is 7 years, there are thousands of mere "accessories" to drug deals serving 10, 20, 30 years or more.
  • If these sentences are justified...If drugs are really that big a problem...then can we tolerate a president who did drugs--committed a felony, punishable by years in jail--even if it was 25 years ago?
  • If "incarceration is rehabilitation" then how did Bush get over his drug problem?
  • If Bush should be forgiven for drug crimes of 25 years ago, then how can he support sentences even longer than that for other people's drug crimes?
In other words:
If we can elect this guy president despite a "youthful indiscretion" 2 decades ago,

then why is this guy (and thousands of others) still in jail for a similar, 2-decade-old youthful indiscretion.
