Do You Think Politicians Should Get Special Treatment From Courts? ?

Question by Yourmommadontdancetothattune??: Do you think politicians should get special treatment from courts? ?
Here’s an example for ya.
Tom Gosinski was fired from AVMT after expressing concerns about her addiction and habit of writing prescriptions in other people’s names to get drugs. He says that John McCain himself got her a diplomatic passport, which prevents customs officials from searching her bags, and his aides Mark Salter and Torie Clarke coordinated with him (Gosinski) on Cindy’s logistics for his trips abroad. (Mark Salter is still one of McCain’s top aides.) In 1993, Gosinski told the Drug Enforcement Agency that Cindy wrote false prescriptions in his name that year. McCain claims he didn’t know Cindy was an addict when he got her a diplomatic passport, but that’s hard to believe since she had a stretch in rehab back in 1991. Cindy McCain faced 20 years in prison for obtaining “a controlled substance by misrepresenting, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge.” With a wealthy father, high-priced lawyer and Senator husband, she got the lightest possible punishment — charges were dropped in return for her entering rehab. Any regular, much less poor person who had written fraudulent prescriptions, stolen narcotics from a charity and smuggled them around the world would have received several years in prison. Her doctor, for one, lost his license and never practiced again.

No, the law should treat people equally. This kind of corruption and shady inside dealings is another reason why McSame is an appropriate nickname. We’ve seen enough of this the last eight years and are faced with the devastating consequences now and for years to come.

In the Bush administration “the negation of truth is so systematic. Dishonest accounting, willful scientific illiteracy, bowdlerized federal fact sheets, payola paid to putative journalists, ‘news’ networks run by right-wing apparatchiks, think tanks devoted to propaganda rather than thought, the purging of intelligence gatherers and experts throughout the bureaucracy whose findings might refute the party line — this is the machinery of mendacity…The point here is not the hypocrisy involved, though that is egregious. The point is the downgrading of truth and honesty from principles with universal meaning to partisan weapons to be sheathed or drawn as necessary. No wonder the Bush administration feels no compunction to honor the truth or seek it; it conceives truth as a tactic, valuable only insofar as it is useful against one’s enemies.” Russ Rymer

America simply can’t afford four more years of the same.
