The Disease Behind Bush's Dynasty

[stepnw1f]

Alcoholism....

From those abused by, those untreated or un rehabilitated. All Bush supporters seem to have this is common. If anything, I believe the Alcoholic mentality is prevalent, whether they are abusers themselves or victims of it. They all seem to share this in common.

1. Interesting point. I see what you mean and had noticed some of

the same but had not put it together.

People who are good at Denial - Check.

People who makes excuses for the performance of the alcoholic - Check.

People who tolerate the abuse of the Alcoholic - Check.

etc.

3. And I AM an Alcoholic

So I tend to see these traits a little bit more than others. He's a dry drunk with of course other issues too. Not every alcholic is the same... Thank God we are not the same.:P

5. Barbara

But that doesn't explain why Prescott Bush was funding the Nazi's.

The real disease is THE LOVE OF MONEY. Everything else is secondary.

There are plenty of nice old alcoholics

7. There is the Element of Control Behind Both

My theory then is that it is what is at root behind alcoholism. The need to control... greed is a symptom of that. Pushing ones ability to control alcohol is as well. That's part of the reason drinking continues with we alcoholics. We keep drining in denial that we have lost control.
