Drug-testing Republican control freaks is an idea whose time has come.

Drug testing those who benefit from corporate welfare would yield a far greater percentage of abusers than the .025% of those receiving the benefit DUE TO THEM from their unemployment INSURANCE, which they were required to buy into.

There was no requirement of not using drugs when the gubmint took their money, why do the Repubs think that the unemployed should drug test when their money is returned to them in benefits?

Good. I say do it.

Of course they won't be for it though. Government intrusion is for those other people.

make sure to include their all staff.

soon you'll have to test to buy gas and groceries. little wired-in drug testers will be everywhere.... it's the natural next step after cameras.

Republican government = abortion, drugs, and sex controls for the people.

......Drug test for legislators ?....

...I'd much rather have them take an I.Q. test, and have minimum standards before someone could run for office......

Doctors, pilots, engineers, plumbers, electricians, realtors, indeed all sorts of jobs have to pass exams certifying their ability to do the job............but any retard can run for political office.

I've always been in favor of drug testing the elected. They always say how crucial their jobs are, so why not hold them up to the same standards as airline pilots and bus drivers? Random, surprise drug testing is no infringement of their rights.

"I've always been in favor of drug testing the elected."

Nobody other than high risk jobs like airline pilots, etc., plus LEOs carrying guns should be tested. But if politicians want to drug test everybody else, they should have to take one themselves.

Not only drug tests, but tests designed to quantify their knowledge of our political, legal and economic systems.

A few "trick" questions intended to suss out creationists, anti-vaccine nuts and other bed-wetters would also be helpful.

alcohol is also a drug

We'd lose half the Democrats and 99% of the Republicans.

I refudiate that! You have to have friends with money, too!

RiKKK Perry.

That is not a bad idea. Wouldn't it be interesting if turned out that more Democrats were taking drugs than Republicans? However, that would be one way to explain Democrat behavior.

Cocaine Leaves your system in 2 days it will have to be a hair test, perhaps we could just test the hairs in the mens room of congress...

Let's see, Trial lawyers are officers of the court. I say start with them, remember our elected officials are predominately of that profession. This would explain a lot of the problems we are having now. Have you read a federal regulation or bill lately? They who write this waste of paper must be on some sort of mind altering substance.

Drug tests, vows of poverty, and hair shirts.

If all politicians were drug tested several times a week. I bet 80% of the politicians who's there today would be done...

I'm all for drug testing politicians. Let's do it tomorrow. We require it in other areas that put society at risk; if anyone puts society at risk, it's a politician.

in additon to this I believe that ALL public official found guilty of a crime must recieve the MAXIMUM sentance required AND must serve 95% of the time.

Let's test cops for steroids while we're at it.
Congress was right to look into steroid use.
Unfortunately, they focused on baseball players instead of police officers.
On the other hand, a steroid-fueled baseball player wielding a car antenna is pretty damn scary.

'Let's test cops for steroids while we're at it.'

At least test 'em for pot, at least the ones that don't turn themselves in....

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Test all politicians

Also, mandatory cavity search every time they enter the building. You have to make sure there aren't pouches of drugs hidden in the cracks of their asses.

Or we could just stop being a police state.

One of Kentucky's most colorful politicians, Gatewood Galbraith, died last week.
Quoth he: “Did my father hit the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima just so I can pee in a cup to hold a job?”

This should be absolutely mandatory for all politicioans from the President on down, and should be applied before running for office, and yearly if elected.

Anyone who votes to require others to pee in a bottle should be the first in line.

#28. Silly boy, drug tests are for drivers, forklift operators, day care workers and unemployment recipients.

what's good for the goose...

A GREAT IDEA! I say we drug and alcohol test Congress, and the President, as well.

Every one with a student loan should be tested till they pay off the loan as any extra money they have should go to the loan not the drug dealer.

Are one of you stoners now going to tell me that Drug testing students impinges on one of you made up rights or stifles free expression.

Perhaps being stoned while in Collage is a learning experience.

Why do you think the democrats and the rest of the left wing crazies target Collage students, to take advantage of your undeveloped minds that's why.
Because you don't know any better, how could you you have done nothing in your life yet to compare with, you will but not now.
Give yourself time, don't be anybody's fool.
Ask yourself truthfully why are these people(Democrats) targeting us so hard.
Truthfully your nowhere near as smart as you think you are in the ways of the world...not yet

About 30% it would seem buy and stay with the Libtart B.S. their whole lives.
And most of them go into fields that pays them from other peoples taxes.
Funny how that works out that most Libs get paid from them people they hate.

The other 70% grow up to become productive Citizens not leaches.
How about Libs get paid only from the tax base generated by the democratic party.
POOF....no more Libs. Funny how that works out, is it not ?

.....NOPE in November.....
