IT'S TIME POLITICIANS LIVE BY THE LAWS THEY PASS

Is it time to drug test our politicians?

Now that Gov. George W. Bush has implied his drug abstinence for the past
several years, maybe it's time to eliminate any questions of drug or alcohol
abuse by our politicians with annual and random urinalysis testing. After
all, many of us citizens must submit to drug testing in order to keep our
jobs.

It really chaps my hide that for the past 15 years I've been subjected to
annual and random urinalysis in order to prove my innocence, and despite my
job performance. So I surrender the evidence in order to keep my job. Make
no mistake about it: no urinalysis, no insurance; no insurance, no job! It's
not voluntary. It's coercion plain and simple.

Now we have a presidential wannabe claiming he should be exempt from the
same media inquisition that President Clinton went through simply because he
says he has found God and gone sober. Frankly, that doesn't cut much mustard
with me. I don't give a plug nickel about any politician's history of drug
or alcohol abuse; I'm worried about the present.

IT'S TIME POLITICIANS LIVE BY THE LAWS THEY PASS. WE SHOULD TEST THEM FOR
all drugs and vote them out of office if they refuse to comply. After all,
what's good for us geese out here in America is good for the ganders in
Washington, D.C.!
