I never cease to be amazed at how petty and pathetic some "Americans" have become. Stupidity wrapped in Gibbness. How sad - utterly, disgustingly, moronically sad.

I'm ok with drug testing if every member of congress and senate has to pee in a cup also, though I would prefer hair tests.

Twice a month for politicians would be acceptable.

Can you explain the reason you feel this way?

The Congresswoman was being sarcastic. Good for her.

Since the law allows pre-employment drug testing I think those who make the laws should be subject to them and be tested before ever being sworn in.

Congress allegedly works for us, shouldn't we have the same option as any other employer to require drug testing?

Keeping your own money and stealing from someone else are 2 different things. According to non-Democrats, anyway.

You want to test people so they can keep more of the money they have earned? You know... the ones paying for those welfare benefits.

How about this, we'll just eliminate welfare and tax exemptions. Thus reducing the taxes of those people. I'm sure they will be more than happy to oblige you with that.
