When will the common
people who vote FINNALLY GET A CLUE!!!! Those who make a stink about poor
people using drugs, usually use them themselves. They are for starving poor
people out who use drugs, but they can't stay away from stuff, themselves.
The latest example is
Representative Trey Radel, a Republican who is a proponent of making
food stamp recipients submit to drug tests before receiving assistance.
According to M.A.
Hussein; M. David and Shante Wooten of Counter Current
News said:
" The proposal for
those on food stamps to urinate in cups to prove they’re not on drugs received
widespread praise from Republicans. But only a month after he backed the
proposal, police busted the Florida Republican on a
charge of cocaine possession."
He and other
Republicans have shown a real taste for coming down hard on poor people who
can't stay off drugs. There is no compassion and they are eager to dish out
punishment for those who have a drug problem.
Radel said he would
seek treatment and wanted people to treat him with the kind of patience and
understanding he has worked so hard to keep from other people with drug
problems. So he can dish it out but when caught he can't take his own
punishment.
On top of all of that,
in states where drug testing is the norm for food stamp recipients, it is
expensive. Very few people have failed the drug tests and the cost of
implementing such tests have actually cost the tax payers MORE
money and not saved any. In fact it cost twice as much money to
do the testing than it saves.
Also the Counter
Current News article asked:
“Why don’t we drug test
all the members of Congress here,” (Rep. Jim) McGovern (D-Mass.) asked. “Force everybody to go urinate in a cup or see whether
or not anybody is on drugs? Maybe that will explain why some of
these amendments are coming up or why some of the votes are turning
out the way they are.”
It's time to kick
these ass-holes out of congress. If they are for kicking the poor of off food
stamps, then kick Radel and the other drug using legislatures out of office. It
is the fair thing to do and it is way more fairness than the options they want
for other people who are caught.
It's time to get tough
on these drug using hypocrites. And it is time for people to realize THIS IS
NOT just one bad apple. It represents a lot
of bad apples in a bucket of rotten apples. The Republicans are
liars, cheats and hypocrites. It is time for people to stop supporting them.
