I could very well see that being true as well, but the particular case I remember was arguing against a specific BAC level, i.e., that it was too low, too restrictive. The article specifically mentioned it hurting restaurants' ability to serve more than one or two drinks of alcohol.

I believe [I can't remember if I remember this the way I remember it.] that part of the reason for opposition was that restaurants and bars wanted to stay out of the chain of possible litigation in the case where a patron would leave and have an accident.

It's weird to me that anyone would oppose drunk driving laws, especially because they do save lives.

It's all about the free market. Stricter drunk driving laws were hurting restaurants' ability to sell alcohol, thus the NRA opposed those laws. You talk about drunk driving laws saving people's lives, but corporations are people, too!

That is very interesting!

That is very interesting! Reading what you wrote reminded me about this because some information on that has been released. It's weird to me that anyone would oppose drunk driving laws, especially because they do save lives. Here is one more link about Mr. Cain and his opposition to DUI laws.

I think, like Rachel Maddow does, Mr. Cain's performance is art, he isn't really intending to be President, he is intending to be the next talk show host on Fox News, except it seems Republican primary voters don't seem to get the joke. And them not getting the joke is kind of concerning but also hilariously funny! We've been discussing it at length over at Gawker.. it's just to wonderfully funny and awesome.

Cain has so many problems, but the interesting thing is that he is running basically even with Romney, and it shows that Republican primary voters are wary of Romney and rest assured it is because of his religion.

In reply to Attorney Bennet Speaks for his Client: A Cain Accuser

Back when Cain headed the National Restaurant Association, I was working for a company that wrote back-office software for restaurant owner-operators, and a magazine that was often in our break-room was one that the NRA put out to talk about their issues (it's good to know your clients). If you've seen ones put out by the AARP or USAA, you get the idea, except IIRC it was a little bit thicker. I remember at the time being shocked by their anti-DUI-enforcement positions, thinking it was incredibly tone deaf. If Cain does win the nomination (very unlikely) that would be one big albatross hanging around his neck.
