Bad week for drunk OH Republicans
Picture this shirtless and drunk


Jarrod Martin (R-Beavercreek) is the second Ohio state representative to face drunken driving charges. Martin was arrested over the weekend when he swerved over the center line while hauling a trailer without a taillight.

The Dayton Daily News reports there were two other adults and two kids in the vehicle. Martin was also charged with child endangerment.
He refused to submit to a field sobriety test and, as a result, will automatically lose his driver’s license for one year. This will leave him with having to find alternative transportation to his ALEC meetings. And possibly an alternative voter ID.

........

Last week, Ohio state Rep. Bob Mecklenborg (R-Cincinnati) resigned after his drunk driving arrest involving an expired license, a woman who works at a strip club, Viagra and voter ID fraud. He was supposed to go to court today, but his lawyer has asked for a jury trial, which delays his case until late August.......

2. Oops, thought one was the Orange Man

Well, he is having a pretty miserable week too. Hope it gets worse.

3. Truth is?

There is no more morally reprehensible human being than the Ohio Republican. Now I can't speak for other states but our Republicans are top notch filthy fucking dirty, they would do anything. They are mostly like Turkish prison guards in their character. Not to insult Turkish prison guards, I'm sure there could be a nice one here and there. I'm just saying.

4. Oh, I think WI repugs in the legislature would take the honors hands down.

5. Is drunk driving a felony? Because I think any representative who is convicted of a felony should

lose their job and any pension/benefits. Does that seem harsh? Maybe, but as representatives in our government, they should be held to a higher standard. And they should automatically lose their job, and everything that comes with it.

6. He had kids in the car--that is what worries me.

7. there is a state that has a law enhancing the penalty for having kids in the car.

don't remember what state that is. but that just is disgusting. I have a friend who got a dwi who went to jail and was on disability and lost his disability while he was in jail. he still doesn't have his driver's license and it has been at least two years. he deserved it, but if he could lose disability then they should lose their pay!! may not be exactly the same thing, but I still say they should lose their jobs if they are convicted of a felony. They are supposed to be our representatives in government. Zero tolerance should start with them.
