Why Aren't Republican Politicians Drug-Tested

Whether Democrats get drug-tested doesn't seem to matter much since I don't recall a Democrat being stupid enough to get busted for dope in quite a while.  However, when we go over to visit with the Republicans, we find them propositioning strange men in airport toilets and doping to beat the band although no chance they could keep up with a sixties band.

Trey Radel is a personal favorite in part because he's one of the most morally-vacant individuals on Capitol Hill but he doesn't have the imagination to graduate to real criminal.  (Huffington Post: Trey Radel, Busted On Cocaine Charge, Voted For Drug Testing Food Stamp Recipients)

It takes a special kind of depravity to support focused testing of drug use in a population which has been repeatedly shown does not use drugs very much.  That claim is based on the number of people who lost state benefits due to drug use and it was near zero.  However, that's not true, as we see with Trey Radel, in the Republicans who attempted to implement the law.  Moreover, the governor of Florida was and may still be the owner of the drug testing facilities to which welfare patients were directed.  Whether the same is true elsewhere is unknown but it's likely as they would capitalize executions if they could get away with it.

That kind of moral bankruptcy is common in the GOP and the impeachment of Bill Clinton was a classic example of it.


Judgment by perverts and cheats in the party which proclaims itself as the moral leadership of America.  Too bad the path they advocate only leads to an airport toilet.  Dennis Hastert was back in the news in the last few days because they discovered more boys he molested and the extent of the sick shit he was doing may never be known.

What do we know is he never spent a day in jail as a result of it.  Republican money moves you above the law and dayum do they take advantage of it.


And one more from the many from which to choose.  This one is hot off the presses.  (Occupy Democrats:  Sponsor Of Anti-LGBT “Bathroom Bill” Caught Sexually Harassing 34 Women, Exiled From Capitol Building)

There are so many examples of this it would be pointless to try to link to all of them.

Your comment that welfare and food stamp uses do not use drugs is pure lunancy. It shows how far removed you are from reality
The loss of benefits based on drug use shows the terrible system enforces the rules.
Almost every person in the (name left out) rehab program receive food stamps. The next program every person is told to apply wether they are relapsing or not.
I can buy food stamps all over the city for 30 or 40cents on the dollar from drug addicts. The same was true over the years in by stores by employees most of which had drug issues

The comment is published fact based on the number of people who had food stamp benefits, etc rejected because they tested positive for dope. That showed with real data on the actual impact of drugs on such people, regardless of anecdotal tales to the contrary.

My point is people dont lose thier benefits for testing positive for drugs. The agency doesnt do it which is why the report says doesnt happen.
Live in whatever fantasy world you choose but my comments are real life. Funny how when you comment "I lived it" carries weight but if anyone else does it is ancedotal trivia
