Florida Tea Partier Trey Radel

Our partier gets 1 year of probation
After pleading guilty to possessing coke, avoiding the possible year in jail and $1000 fine such a charge can bring in the nation’s capitol......more

Presently across the US, 500,000 non-violent drug offenders are sitting in America’s prisons for equal and sometimes even lesser crimes.
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.

GOP Family Values

 A wife and three grown children in St. Petersburg

and a mistress and a new born baby in
 Washington DC.

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.
 He received the award because of
how he voted on "key moral issues."
