Romney Supports Mandatory Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients

@Becks72,

May I add---anyone who files the papers to run for any political office ought to be drug-tested at the time they turn in their papers. Political candidates should also be randomly tested throughout their campaigns, if they drop out of the race for any reason, after they win, before they are sworn in AND throughout their terms of office.

All of these tests should be done without warning---send a couple of cops over to their offices, pick them up and take 'em to a hospital to either give a blood sample, pee in a cup or both.

Refusing to comply, failing the test, or trying to "finesse" the results would be punished with immediate removal from office, a LIFETIME BAN on holding any other public office, and possible civil or criminal prosecution whether we're talking about the President of the United States, the county dog-catcher or anything in between.

IMO, any politician who recommends something like this ought to be forced to live with it, too. A public official who's hooked on prescription meds, or drinks too much (let alone smokes crack or likes to dance with Mr. Brownstone) is far more dangerous to society than a welfare mom smoking pot.

Since he thinks drug-testing welfare recipients is an "excellent" idea, I'm looking forward to Mr. Romney both submitting to ongoing testing and working to ensure that his companeros inside the Beltway do the same...whether they want to or not.

Not holdin' my breath...

@P4TC,

That's why I'm not holdin' my breath. And a hair follicle test is a GREAT idea, thow it in, too!

These people----Democrats and Republicans alike--- will never impose any sort of restraints upon themselves unless there's a cocked, unlocked and "hot" pistol pointed at their heads.

Perhaps literally...

Actually, a true hair test can tell you EVERY drug that has ever been introduced into your system.

Maybe nancy reagan wouldn't have had to been tested with these guidelines,but we all found out what was going on.

Whoever else holding office could be doing whatever and is a complete unknown. rush was calling people out while he was popping pills every commercial which he could.

Well Par,the whipping would be illegal in some form I'm sure. It goes against 'procreative sex' or 'traditional sex' at some point. When derrr gop funded a gop visit to a bondage club in '10,Cafferty read my comment on air and I made him laugh. I taped it for keeping too.

The point? Only THEY can practice non-traditional anything,while us peasants must obey any and every law to the letter,without question.

Well he doesn't care about the poor except to criminalize poverty and in general make then jump through hoops to feed their families. Way to go RICH GUY WHO WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT!

#5 Fling "Loss of free bucks" in peoples faces and they will quit drugs.

If not for anything other reason for the sake of the children so parents feed them instead.

As long as they do drugs on their own dime, I don't care. I don't want to pay for someone to be stoned.
