Personally, LIE DETECTOR tests would be more valuable to the voters.

I believe it should be for anyone that works for the people not just elected, (any government agency).

Good question. Yes they should. You may have hit on something here. That's why nothing is getting done to straighten this mess out. Their stoned. Ron Paul, although I like the guy, always seems drunk to me. He's always hanging on to the pedestal to hold himself up.

I agree, I think they should be drug tested rendomly, and they should be polygraphed at least once before election. Mandatory drug testing should be required at the time of a polygraph, so that they are not trying to beat the machine with drug use. Nowadays, I find myself cringing when I hear some of them address each other as The Honorable. It makes me think that someone should do a sequel to the movie, "Liar,Liar," and base it on politicians.

Well of course they should. They should also be randomly tested while holding a seat. They are making decisions that affect the people of this country. I'd rather not have them drugged up or high while making those decisions.

You have to have a drug test before working at Walmart? That is a curious thing.

There are honesty tests that are accurate enough for a court room. But then, I doubt congress would impose that on themselves under any circumstances.

I think they should be required to take a dose of Ex-lax every 4 hours washed down with a class of prune juice, so they are not so full of all that stuff they are slinging around!

That's true.. give them a hair test. Who knows how many would lose their jobs. Also, people who are collect food stamps and welfare. How many of them do you think would pass? I see them in the stores using the food stamp program, and they can't even stand up on their own. I've even had them try to sell them to me outside the stores.
