This article came out in March, three months ago. As far as I am concerned Peroutka is still presented in a bright light.
I know of families that have teenagers who are out of control, some get arested, some even threaten their parents and siblings. I would encourage those parents to let those teenagers sit in jail when arested, don't bail them out. If they are a danger to the rest of the family, they need to be removed from the family.
Like I said, I read the article back in March, I called Peroutka's office about it. He has not been found guilty of anything in a court of law. I still seem him in a "bright light", and still plan on voting for him in November.
We could take the time to dig up the dirt on all of the presidential candidates, but I don't see where it would be the Christian thing to do, and I don't see how it would have any weight on whether they would make a good president or not.
I found the following "clips" from some actual court documents, which are available to the public:
"The BCDSS conducted an investigationinto the alleged abuse and found that Dawn's claims were unsubstan-tiated."
"Sometime in March or April of 1993, Dawn began to realize thatthe allegations of sexual abuse were untrue. After working with Dr. McHugh, Dawn realized that she had never been abused by Mr.Peroutka. On 6 April 1994, the allegations of sexual abuse were "ruled out" by the BCDSS."
ballfan, since you refuse to vote for a candidate who is somewhat unknown, why did you vote for Mr. Bush in 2000?
What did you know of him?
other than the fact that he had been Governor of Texas for 6 years?
Did you know about his somewhat unfavorable military record?
Did you know about his alcoholic past?
and his drunk driving conviction?
Did you know about his bad debts from failed oil companies?
Did you know anything about him, other than that his last name was Bush???
I voted for Bush knowing who he was, or at least who he seemed to be while he was Governor.
All I can say is, he has changed since being elected President.
He entered the White House with the same resoning which he entered the Governor's Mansion.
He compromised left and right with Democrats in our state Congress...and that was okay because Texas Democrats are, for the most part on the state level, more conservative than those nation-wide.
His mistake has been to continue his belief in compromising on the national level which just doesn't work because most national Democrats are liberal who want nothing less than complete socialism and no moral standards.
You can't compromise with people like these, but unfortunately Mr. Bush doesn't understand that...or, he may and just doesn't care as long as he is elected again.
I'm here to say, he will not get my vote again. He blew it for me.
It is better to confront evil in your own nation before proclaiming yourself righteous and running off to hunt down evil in foreign lands.

Yes, I do know what you are talking about and I refuse, DD, I absolutely refuse to describe the Yankees who invaded the South from 1861-1865 as terrorists.
They were wrongheaded and misguided by Abraham Lincoln but I refuse to describe them as terrorists.
If you wish to do so that is your right.
But I will not join you in so doing.
Sure.

Although I differ with you concerning the Civil War, or the War of Northern Aggression, as you would say, I appreciate the respect you are showing.
Too bad we are not always as courteous when it comes to other such political issues.
I think that if we all did so, we might find more common ground than we would like to admit.
Well, I reckon we'll rely on the same media that made George W. Bush's life more or less an open book(especially after the media forced him to admit to DWI) so that you knew about his life to do the same about Michael Peroutka and his life.
