The DUmmies are claiming he was a leading proponent of requiring people on welfare to be drug tested.

Quote
As a member of Congress, Radel has co-sponsored legislation to change the nation's mandatory minimum drug sentencing laws and voted for a bill that called for states to drug test people who receive food stamps.

Sorta... He isn't living off of entitlements and using money to buy drugs.  I am not defending his drug use, but the whole point is if people on welfare can afford drugs they can afford the things the taxpayers are paying for.

One of the biggest differences between us and them. For us it's disgrace and departure from office. With them it's a resume enhancer.

Why did this man run for office if he wants to be a coke head?  I'll never get these guys that go through the hell of a campaign to attain political office, only to throw it away due to drugs or open flies.

He's a moron; thus he needs to go.
