He could have told the Doctor the meds weren't working, if that was the case, and an alternative pain therapy would have been prescribed. He CHOSE not to do that. The whole "victim of circumstance" arguement is null. [/B]
Well, I take it for a fact that you know he didn't contact his doctor and can prove that he chose not to.
Look, I am not defending what Rush did, far from it. I am trying to give a little perspective to some who may not see the way others do. To call it a "spin" as you did is knee-jerk.
I am sorry you had to go to the meetings for a year rpm, I truly am. If it made you a better man so much the better. But to write off someone else's plight due to the fact that, apparently by your earlier posts in this thread and in others, you do not like nor care for conservatives, much less Rush.
I am a Rush fan. I think he gives perspectives that aren't, or I should say weren't, available to me 10 years ago when I was a dyed in the wool liberal. I just think that his situation is just a little bit more than just a "victim of circumstance" as you put it. What I do agree with is that if he obtained his drugs illegally, and that is for a court to decide, then they should put his rear in jail.
Yes he was caught, yes he admitted to it. I can name a few "libs" who after being caught STILL denied the accusations. No conservative that I know of has ever considered themselves perfect and free of human faults. I am no practicing Christian but there is the saying, "We all fall short of the glory of God..." Even I know what that means.
