If he were a Democrat it would be a resume' enhancement.

THIS in contrast to the Democrats standing up FOR their Criminal Congressmen (Jesse Jackson Jr, Bill Clinton, etc..).

“These actions have violated the trust of those whom he was elected to represent and fall short of the standards for an elected official; especially a member of the United States Congress,” the statements from the Lee and Collier county Republican executive committees said.

As much as the GOP p*sses me off, at least they get this right. The democrats' only concern would be the balance of political power. It'd be off to a one week rehab and then back as if nothing happened.

Been thinking about it. Radel could've stayed if it was a habit he gave up after being elected. He should've quit...the time for rehab would've been between the election and taking office.

I don't like the precedent of him not quitting. What if Obama or one of his appointees we can't stand is caught doing illegal drugs? I'd rather we had the talking point that Radel was forced to step down, and such behavior won't be tolerated on either side of the aisle.

Quitting is a useless and foolish exercise; leave it to his constituents in the next election.

Democrats never quit and always rally around their own. They laugh when we enforce rules and standards for things like this and it is seen as a weakness and used as another weapon against us (see what criminals these conservatives are).

In normal times when the stakes are not nearly so high we can afford to push one of our own out; now is not the time.

I agree. ONLY because he’s a RINO anyway.

I think he should NOT quit.

(florida’s republican leadership has zero credibility)

This will help other R’s who WILL be falsly accused in the future. It nulifies the republicans resign and democrats skate meme.

Ugh. This is the RINOs in the Florida party trying to oust a Tea Party guy over a misdemeanor that he expressed REGRET over and vowed to get help.

This same GOP did squat when some party leaders STOOD BY AND DID NOTHING as Teri Schiavo was murdered by the judiciary.

Henry Jude “Trey” Radel III, probably should resign, get himself straightened
out and at a later date see if the people in FL want him back as an elected official.
Apparently he’s taking a ‘leave of absence’ to get treatment, thus leaving
his constituents without representation they deserve.

For the Republicans criminality is a liability politically. this is an election year. The Democrats who are guilty of far worse will use this as leverage.
