Question: Why Did George W. Bush get a new TDL # in 1995?

[Zen Democrat]

The entire article from 1999, excerpted below, is very good stuff. The information regarding Bush being issued a new driver's license number in 1995 (while governor of Texas) is more than interesting. Especially, since, in Texas, a driver's license number is issued for life and cannot be changed. Even if a license is lapsed or suspended, the driver must keep the original number. At least John Q. Citizen must. Questions should be asked!

The Starr Report, Oct. 28, 1999

How Far Is George W. Bush Willing To Go?
By Linda L. Starr

One day I realized George W. Bush always said he had nothing on his record to prevent him becoming president. Right away that told me he isn't denying guilt, just any record of his offenses. So, that made me want to use my investigative skills to find out what might be hidden from view. I expected any and every sort of thing possible ... even normal events, like a few parking tickets, or maybe a speeding ticket in his youth.

Guess what I found? Nothing...not a single thing! It didn't seem possible considering things the family had admitted in public forums. Then while digging around in the Texas Department of Public Safety records, I found something really odd. Could it be a clerical error?

Yet right before my eyes was something no one seemed to have noticed before ... that Governor George W. Bush had obtained a new Texas driver's license number. That was very unusual and such a strange number, too: 00000005! Then I ran into some brick walls when I started asking questions. That seemed odd to me since in several public forums he or his family has admitted to some run-ins with the law. He had been questioned about the stealing of a Christmas wreath, but let off the hook. No record. He had one or two other minor scrapes with the law. No record. He had paid a fine of $130 on Sept 2, 1994, for killing a protected species bird while hunting – that was right before being elected governor in November of 1994. And now along with his old number went the record of his paying that fine. So that proves that sometime between Sept 2, 1994, and March 31, 1995 George W. Bush obtained this new driver's license number of 00000005, because all infractions of the law are listed on your Texas Driver's License Detail.

.....

So, again I ask, what plans might the Bush camp have in store for me and others like me who openly criticize his mentality, education, ethics, morals, and hypocrisy in governing? What method might they use to kill this messenger as they have done to J. H. Hatfield? Maybe they fear what they do not want known even more widely than now...that George W. got a new driver's license number and no amount of attacks on me will change that fact. I do not use rumors, or innuendos, or terrified unnamed sources to accuse him. I stand here with my proof from the DPS records that he did get a new drivers license number. Why was that necessary?

1. Deferred adjudication for cocaine possession.

That's why he did community service in the ghetto of Houston.

He got that preferred treatment for a hard drug when people were going to the state pen for marijuana SEEDS.

2. He DUI arrest wasn't known then was it?

It could have been to hide that.

4. His "known" DUI arrest was in Maine, not Texas.

Rumors of W's profligate behavior have abounded for years. There's a question regarding whether Bush was in rehab in Alabama, not working on a senatorial campaign, when he was supposed to be fulfilling his National Guard service there. The people at the Blount campaign remember that he was rarely ever around. And we know that nobody ever saw him at the Air Force base. So what WAS he doing in Alabama?

8. Was he driving on a TX license in Maine when he got his DUI ??

And would they not have taken his license, no matter what state he was driving in? How was the DUI adjudicated in Maine ?

3. I haven't seen this piece for a while.

It didn't fly very far when originally published because it's purely speculative (even though I share the speculations), so...pardon me for asking...why bring it up now? Unless you or someone has new information on what was concealed by the DL# change, of course. Do you?

[Zen Democrat]

5. I think the Corporate Media decided he was going to be President

and covered up any questions about his unsavory past. A lot was swept under the rug. Laura got a new number, too. Probably to cover up the negligent homicide in her past, although that was too well-known in Midland to stay a secret.

7. it isn't speculation...

...that Bush and James Bath both received new TDL, a highly unusual happening. It isn't speculation that Bush and Bath were both grounded from the TANG at the same time. It isn't speculation that Bath has a long association as financier and broker for Middle Eastern families such as the bin Ladens, and that Bath was the go-between for ME financing of Bush's oil company Arbusto.

The story, incidentally, was originally broken in Online Journal.

9. No, those bare facts are not speculation--

nor are they totally damning in themselves. It's the speculations that arise from them that are truly interesting, but those speculations are still speculations.

6. Gee, I dunno, maybe....................

to hide something unsavory like a felony drug conviction or other felony that would have prohibited him from going any farther in politics? Nah, I'm SURE I'm just being paranoid.

10. whatever comes out, he holds the baby Jesus trump card

He repented and was "born again" and that made him a new and pure man--
