Florida GOP Blatant Hypocrisy

The GOP House just passed H.R. 4138

The "ENFORCE the Law Act of 2014."

The sole purpose of the bill is to force the President and Attorney General to enforce Federal laws prohibiting states from selling marijuana for any reason. In Florida, all GOP.

Consider Rep. Ted Yoho Of Florida

Accountability

Consider Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), a Tea Party freshman whose outspoken stupidity on a default’s potential benefits, such as an improved U.S. credit rating, has provided a bit of dark humor in these dark days. Yoho, a large-animal veterinarian, announced months ago that he would never vote to raise the debt ceiling. Like most Republican candidates, he had no problem raising contributions from business interests, notably including contractors, insurance companies, manufacturers and agricultural processors — all of which presumably share the horror of default expressed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
