Why?  You seem to think there is an all or nothing attitude for those who do not agree with you.  But I doubt those who do agree with you, do so (or you with them) 100% of the time.

What exactly is there to disagree on here?

Look, if you're one supposed small government conservatives, you ought be pretty pissed off about the idea that the government should be drug testing unemployed folks. Let's be honest:  It'll cost a shitload, it's not really going to be effective at anything more than kicking people when they're already in a tough spot, and it's a gross violation of privacy.   Moreover,  if you're something resembling a human being and know anybody who's caught up without a job right now (or are unemployed yourself) you should be flat out insulted that this dick is likening your friends/family/ or you to a crack addicted wellfare recipient. 

The latter is a little advanced for what's left of the republican party.  The former should generate some pretty substantial outrage on it's own.  FWIW, I just checked a couple of the known Reagan blowers, and as predicted:  thus far it's just crickets chirping.  Nada.  Nothing.  Zip.  

Your article said you would hear nothing but "crickets chirping" in regards to Hatch's proposal.  I am saying that just because he is a republican, does not mean a lock step agreement from conservatives who believe in small government.  I being an example of one who thinks he is barking up the wrong tree on the issue (yes, I agree with your position on this, no I do not think you will hear crickets chirping).

I have been unemployed twice now in my career, so I do know about the unemployed (at least the ones making an honest effort - not the ones looking to take an extended vacation).  SO yes, I think the drug testing - based more on the fact that it is not a "handout" - is stupid as I stated in the original post.

Perhaps you are talking about the "pundits", not the "little people" like myself.  In that case, you could be right.  It is politics after all.  Republicans are only marginally better than democrats.

Well that's really tough criteria if you need unemployment or welfare... don't be wasted when you apply.  With 5 thousand barrels of oil pumping into the gulf everyday and with it already reaching the level of 3 Exxon Valdez disasters with no end in sight and a totally clueless President with no executive experience, I doubt most folks care about Orrin Hatch.

Wait a second.  You're telling me that saying "take him out" in the same breath that she's waxing poetic about the violent over throw of the United States government doesn't even register a red flag for you?

If it is someone who has shown a propensity for violent resolution of problems, yes it would.  As such, I see no red flag with her statements given the context and her point.  Again, clearly, a dramatic pause would probably have been more politically correct (say of a day).  But then that is why they have 30 second sound bites.  To bring together 2 un-related comments into one inflammatory commercial.  sometimes the candidate does it for you.
