Please note, we have nothing against congressmen getting coked up once in a while. Some of us spent the late 70's and early 80's on this wonderful drug. It's the hypocrisy that bothers us.

A married man has an affair with his secretary. He likes it so much he wants to keep her on as his mistress, they even have a child together while he is still married. The wife tells him no and she wants a divorce. Then he has no further contact with the children from that marriage after 1986. Less than a year later, he was awarded the Family and Freedom Award from the
Christian Voice, the nation's largest conservative religious lobby.

A New Breed Of Cuban-American
For more than two decades, running for Congress in this sun-soaked capital of
Cuban exiles has required two things: a Republican registration card and a hard
line toward the Castro regime. And then came Joe Garcia
In a break with the exile community, Garcia campaigned in support of loosening restrictions on Cuban-Americans who want to visit relatives on the island or send them money. Since taking office, he has pushed for U.S. trials of a Cuba-developed diabetes treatment and for easing travel rules for Cuban diplomats who visit the U.S. And while Florida Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio, fumed when President Barack Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro last month, Garcia dismissed it as a simple courtesy.
