Why do we have drunks like John Boehner in charge of things like making our laws ??  I couldn't get a job working in a warehouse without drug and alcohol screenings and random drug and alcohol tests. 

Why don't our politicians who are making our laws have to adhere to the same rules we do ?? If you are in the sevice and are found drunk of duty you can be courtmartialed. Here is a link. http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/ucmj/blart-112.htm

Any person subject to this chapter other than a sentinel or look-out, who is found drunk on duty, shall be punished as a court-martial may direct

 

Shouldn't our law makers be subject to at least the same standards ??  We rail about the deaths drunk drivers cause and don't even think twice about the costs drunk law makers cost.

I say random drug and alcohol testing with a positive test to be the grounds of termination and forfeiture of their retirement and medical coverage. They don't get any benefits.  They serve us. We pay for them and I'm tired of paying for a bunch of drunks and drug heads to run the country while we suffer for their stupdity.

What do you say ??  Oh and this is bi-partisan it doesn't mater if you have a D R or I after your name no drunks or drug addicts in our government, especially our law makers and law definers the judges.
