Andres' Rant: Drug Test Congress

Republicans want to drug test anyone who receives govt assistance, well after FL Republican Congressman had to step down for drug charges and the NY Republican threatened to throw a reporter off an effing balcony, I think the first to be tested should be Congress.  They get tax payer's money and we need to make to sure it is not spent on drugs.

Texas Lt Governor's Debate

In Dallas, Republican candidates running for Lt Governor debated each other.  It was the first televised opportunity to size them up. 

For the most part, it was what you expected,standard conservative positions.  The thing that made this debate interesting was the moderators.  They did their best to make the candidates answer the question.  In some cases that was not an easy task.

In Sen Dan Patrick's case, he only answered questions he asked himself.  My favorite Patrick moment was when he declared our children had the right to be confused. 

The only rational person seemed to be Jerry Patterson with his stance on teaching creationism and medicinal marijuana. 

I am interested to see who gets the bump and who the public picks as the winner of the debate.  In my opinion, Patterson won.
