I don't want to see Mrs. McCain smeared (5.00 / 1) (#3)

over her problems but it sure does show what a hypocrite her husband is. Anyone who has had a family member suffer through prescription pain pill addiction should understand how easy it can happen. There is a wonderful pain clinic associated with the Catholic hospital here that is practically shutting down due to government pressure on how they prescribe medicine to people in awful and chronic pain.

People with drug addictions need help not prosecution.

and if I was a recovering addict while my husband went around crying throw the book at em I'd be leading him by his ear to the bathroom for a little private heart to heart chat ;)

I think of what a creep Limbaugh was about drug users while he was a committing crimes as an addict himself.

I guess it is obvious that I don't listen to his show.

Every day since Mr. McCain emerged as the likely nominee in the aftermath of nearly two dozen nominating contests on Feb. 5, Mr. Limbaugh's switchboard has been lighting up with calls from conservative Republican listeners who say they plan to stay home on Election Day in November.

"What he has got to be concerned with," Mr. Limbaugh said of Mr. McCain, "is all these Republican voters who say right now they're so fed up they're not going to vote at all. That's deeper than they realize."

Record (5.00 / 2) (#11)

The link to his record says he supports increasing federal funds for education and treatment.  I support increased funds for treatment.  Treatment is preferable to incarceration.  Maybe that's because of his wife.  Who knows.

I remember him speaking in that (5.00 / 3) (#17)

fashion in 2000 when I first learned of all this.  I respected him for it but most of the things I respected John McCain for in 2000 he decided weren't aspects of his political self worth keeping.  Incarceration accomplishes nothing for most people needing treatment in my opinion and for what my opine is worth incarceration seems to me to have the potential to make matters worse for the person needing treatment and in the end worse for all of us sharing the world with them.
