22. If the guy at the quikie mart

Wed Oct 2, 2013, 07:04 AM

Oct 2013

smells like booze he gets fired. But all these fuckers walking around the house floor half shit faced can make decisions for 300 million people??? We actually let these people mock the American people like they are above any laws or decency. How about a surprise check point for these bastards. Piss in the bottle and blow in the tube. You come up hot immediate rehab or failure to comply with company policy, lose your job, just like in the real world. Boehner has an intimate relationship with alcohol, it is his first priority, not the American people. I should know, alcohol owned me for many years and when you put it down, it's a whole new world. The crew in the good ole boys drunk club think they just like to drink, truth be known the alcohol owns them too. I don't want no drunk running the country. They make all kinds of laws and rules for American drinkers but none pertaining to themselves.
