Sedition in the House of Representatives
The most basic duty of the House of Representatives is to make sure the nation's bills are paid.

For the first time in history, we have representatives who are unwilling to do that.

It is deliberate sabotage

We need to call it what it is: sedition.

4. Which should be considered treason.
They swore to uphold the constitution and to protect from enemies both foreign and domestic.

7. Divided loyalty ... obligations to two masters ... needs to be called out.
I'd like to see someone ask "Which of those oaths is binding?" at Repug town hall meetings.

3. unfortunately, THEY think they are on a mission from god to save the country from debt
so calling them "seditious" will have no effect

5. I think they believe...
... they are on a mission to destroy the federal government -- which they think would somehow save America ... or something.

6. Hey! Maybe that's a way we can get rid
of the lot of them in one fell swoop & start over again w/new players.

Only this time we're wiser. :think:
