The Democrats need to play hardball here and outright refuse to work with the Republican Party as they are unfit to govern. All Democratic Presidential candidates should be required to sign a pledge saying they will not invite any Republican Congressional leaders to the White House for the next 4 years, acknowledge any questions shouted by them during the State of the Union, make any eye contact with any of them in passing, and automatically veto anything they try to sponsor. It's time to really drill this issue to the forefront of the news cycle how truly incompetent and unworthy of anyone's respect these people are.

Then quit calling yourself a republican.

King's never been a national Republican. He's explained this several times.

He doesn't even qualify to be a NM republican with that language. I don't hear Martinez saying that.

I don't remember anyone appointing you a judge to decide whether a poster "deserves" to be a member of one party or another.

The Freedom Club Republicans are out of control and threatening the stability of the government.  Obama should use his executive power to arrest them all for treason and declare their seats vacant.

Putting aside the wisdom of that (nutter), three factual errors in the above come to mind: 1) there is no executive power to arrest absent an indictment, requiring the involvement of the judicial branch, and of course the prosecutors office to pursue one, 2) refusing to elect a speaker or refusing to raise the debt limit, or whatever, is an exercise of legislative power set forth in the Constitution, and thus no crime at all, much less treason, and 3) Congress declares seats vacant, not the executive branch, and that would never happen absent conviction. Who knew?

Yes but Obama has already proven all of that Constitution stuff to be irrelevant in taking executive action.  One more couldn't hurt, right?

And we wonder why the Republican party is such a mess when one of its voters writes with a straight face all that BS.
