I dont see your angle with this post. He broke the law and is paying the price. I dont see him asking me to foot his bill. There is the difference. Completely different from the sopa story. He is not on welfare, and he hasnt failed a drug test. I dont remember the welfare screening having anything to do with alcohol anyway...
Invalid point!

At least he has a job and most likely paid for the booze himself.
One could argue that anyone working for the government on the taxpayer's dime is, in deed, on welfare. Or, at a minimum, they should be held to the same standard as welfare recipients, as the money that pays them comes from the same source.edit on 17-1-2012 by Muttley2012 because: (no reason given)

What does one have to do with the other? A Georgia Republican getting a DUI has nothing to do with drug testing for welfare recpients....I'm honestly not seeing the connection here...

You don't see the connection?
In one hand, you have a struggling single mom who may partake occasionally in order to cope and she gets just enough of our tax money to get by.
In the other, you have an affluent man who likes to partake and then drive, endangering the taxpayers lives. And he gets just enough of our tax money to live extremely comfortably.
I'd rather see my money go to the single mom (or just about anybody) than a "representative".

What? This guy costs us more in taxes that at least 20 welfare recipients. He's a representative. Those guys are the biggest welfare cases of all.
I think there is also some added irony that these guys are called "representatives" when they only represent a very small demographic. The single moms on food stamps represent a greater cross section of America than any "representative".
