Ah, when he got behind the wheel? Am I right? Do I win something? I wonder if he is going to forfeit his government paid salary now?

Again, since when? It is illegal to drink and drive but in and of itself, alcohol isn't illegal. I can get as drunk as I want in my apartment or house but I can't get stoned at either place. Try again. If you want to fine him and take away his driving privileges as prescribed by law, feel free and best of luck.

Shame he didn't smash into a phone pole doing 75 -- there would have been one less hypocritical Puritanical ass on this planet.

The guy is definitely showing his lack of integrity by drinking and driving. I don't, however, see how this correlates with his desire to see people who get my tax money handed over to them do not use it for purposes other than subsistence.

There is no evidence that he used any handout money to buy his liquor. He has a job and gets a legitimate paycheck with which he can use as he pleases. In his case he used it for a bad thing, but it was HIS money.

In contrast, a welfare recipient is GIVEN money, money taken from YOU and ME. This money is given supposedly out of compassion so that the recipient can have food, clothing and shelter. It is NOT given to them for the purpose of buying illegal substances. Of course, the REAL reason they are given the money is to buy votes.

The government, or ANYONE, who hands out money, has all the right in the world to take whatever steps they see necessary to see that the money is used for what it was intended. If the person on welfare wants money for other things, they can go to work and earn it.

Wait a minute! I thought liberals were supposed to be the compassionate ones! At least that's what they claim.

I'm not sure about the legality of it. Further to that, what do you do when you catch them? Will it be uniform or just to one and not the other? IOW, I'm a welfare receipient. What happens to me if I get busted? Now what happens if Senator Jackass gets busted? We both get the same punishment, different, sliding scale based on some obscure standard?

If we can make it uniform, fair enough.

I couldn't agree more. I work for a private company and had to go pee before they would hire me. What makes government workers any better?
