State Rep. Kip Smith charged with DUI in Buckhead

Grant said:
Drinking three beers is not substance abuse, yet that might still cost you your drivers license if you get behind the wheel of a car.

Drinking and driving is another matter entirely. It would be fair to say he could have been abusing the privileges that allow him to drive a vehicle on public roads.

You have to add in the critical component...said drinker has to be a republican.
If this guy had every campaigned agaisnt drunk driving and then been caught DUI...their point is totally relevant. As it is...point is totally partisan drivel.

Oh, of course it is and they know it but in fact I enjoy watching them wriggle and weasel. :)

Of course politics has something to do with it! Haven't you been paying attention? If you're a Republican then there's absolutely nothing wrong with abusing alchohol and driving while intoxicated. All the better if you do it while trying to force poor people to piss in a cup to get their rent money. No hypocrisy there! Just like there's no hypocrisy in calling out the President for an affair while you're having your own illicit affair!

My problem with this has nothing to do with the welfare thing, just the fact that the asshole put peoples lives in danger, and has disgraced the state of Georgia.

Show one time where anyone has even remotely implied that. Even once. Should be fun and shouldnt be a problem. You arent a mindless partisan hack, hypocrite AND a liar are you?

Im pretty sure every comment made about the guy has echoed similar comments about his drunk driving. Yet to see anyone excuse it.

I guess it would be fun if you were a masochist (in addition to being a partisan hack and a liar):

".02 above the legal limit is not a big deal."

Maybe he was drinking to forget about his father being forced to resign last month as the director of the Ga. Dept of Transportation.

Your version of smack is as moronic as everything else. It is also dishonest. .02 ISNT a big deal...unless you are DRIVING. How many times have I said this in this thread? so you ARE that big a liar? ****ing amazing. ANd yet...not...

The legal limit only applies to driving, you dimwit. :2rofll:
 
AdamT said:
As I mentioned, it would not be newsworthy outside of his home state if he wasn't hypocritically pushing for drug testing of public assistance applicants while he, a state legislator, appears to have a substance abuse problem. Given that Democrats do not push for drug testing of public assistance applicants, this would not have been an issue if he was a Democrat.

But I think you have to show how exactly a DUI is equal to doing drugs on welfare...Unless you do that then you are just talking out of your ass.

You didnt post the whole thing...did you?
It equals simple intoxication to anyone other than a partisan driven hack. .02 above the legal limit is not a big deal. Drving while intoxicated is. Id be willing to bet that within the last month a good number of people on this site alone have topped that BAC. But then...the great majority of people dont follow liberal websites looking for any and everything they can find and then post hack threads about them.

Never claimed that it was exactly the same. It is analogous. Same point, right? Kipper snack was buzzed when he wasn't supposed to be buzzed. His bill is designed to prevent people who are buzzed when they shouldn't be from getting public assistance.

Like I said, you are making excuses for drunk driving. Great job, Brownie.

Which is the ONLY reason why the .02 is even relevant...correct? Not substance abuse...DUI...which makes your whole argument as stupid as its maker.

So...your blatant lie is shown...lets move on THIS one...where did I excuse or justify his behavior?

Can you prove that Rep. Smith has an alcohol abuse problem?

All the better if you do it while trying to force poor people to piss in a cup to get their rent money.

If those people are receiving their rent money from MY tax money then you are damned straight they should be subject to random testing. If they can't stay off the drugs then they don't need to live in my housing.

Smith was indeed above the legal limit to drive. But I don't think you can equate that to generational welfare recipients who continue to get tax payer money for food and shelter while they continue to remain unemployable and on drugs. You say they are analogous, and I say not in the least.

Yes. He was just arrested for DUI.

So what? I assure I drink maybe three times a year if I am lucky, and I could be a bar with friends and have say two drinks, get pulled over coming home, and you'd say that I have a drinking problem?

If Georgia is anything like Florida, 96% of the applicants will test clean. Whereas 100% of the kipper snacks have a recent DUI arrest. :D

Yes, I would say that if you driver under the influence that you have a drinking problem. At least while you're driving under the influence!
