[QUOTE="phase12, post: 13316, member: 281"] [b]Bush Did Not Win the Election?[/b] Okay, so you're saying that I can say whatever I want (thanks, BTW :) ) but you don't like the manner in which I say them? My responses where directly to what you have said. Perhaps some recovering alcoholics call themselves "dry drunks" but that only means they are not recovering, at least that is the common standard by which members of AA go by. To them, a dry drunk is someone that has simply stopped drinking, but not in mind and spirit and exhibits alcoholic behavour. Oh, I guess you're going to use the "alcoholic behavour" as ammunition against Bush, but you really should attend some AA for about a year interacting with others before you really make a judgement call on just what that is. Basically, a dry drunk may not be drinking, but has not mended his problem, half of which is emotional, and by AA standards, spiritual. Generally, calling someone a dry drunk is derogatory, which is what you intended. My point was, that I know from personal experience that it takes alot of strength, will power, and character to overcome the disease and addiction; having not only seen just from myself, but from others I have known.
