That's why he's called a REPRESENTATIVE, and he did a crappy job as a result of his drug and alcohol use, so he needs to go. Something wrong with that guy. Do a little research. His problems go even deeper than that. You may wish to do some research and see one of the ventures from which he made money.

I have no idea how good or bad this politicians work might have been,i was replying to the implication that this individual doing drugs somehow negatively implicated the people and the state of Florida IMO opinion it doesnt..

And IMO it does, because he was elected by a certain group of Florida citizens. The internet makes it much easier these days to research people and I doubt if Radel could have gotten a job as a teacher.

We have to realize how important voting is, and how important it is to know who you are voting for and what their background is. Because these people make decisions that affect all of us, for good or for ill. And believe me, citizens of other countries know darned well how our system works and they hold US accountable for the actions of our elected representatives. And rightly so. When we elect someone who supports raining fire on innocent civilians abroad, it's just a matter of time before we get the same treatment, as in 9/11. It's a huge responsibility, now more than ever, so yes, I believe that Radel negatively reflects on me, my state and my fellow citizens. Something can be done about it, though. You can at least raise your voice and let your own representative know you don't support his actions and think he should step down.

I tried to present the fact that this politician doesnt represent Floridians in a negative way just because he did some recreational cocaine
But OK if you want to bring to the game that this Florida politician was elected to REPRESENT his Floridian constituents then rather than saying he represented all Floridians lets get specific, he represented Republican constituents so rather than cast negatives on all Floridians in general for his drug use lets just say he represents the republican demographic.

Don't we have a President right now who used drugs...I thought it was called "cool guy" if you do things like that...or are Dem. all of a sudden forgotten about that part?

I guess it is only allowed if a Dem. does things like that!

Btw JFK used speed injections...I just saw it in a documentary and one day he got 4 shots so he must have felt much better and I never heard one Dem. complain about that being a blow to the entire USA!

Yes it is odd how people are all over this guy for using drugs, when our President also used drugs and that was cool. Strange. I wonder why?

You can't be that dense.
Big difference using marijuana as a college kid versus a elected United States politician using cocaine concurrently while serving.

[BucFan]

guess you are that dense to not understand the difference between a college kid using experimental drugs and an elected official using drugs while in office.

Never mind.
