Impeach the GOP Congress, immediately withhold their pay and all benefits.

[proud2BlibKansan]

Make this retroactive to 11-7-2012.

The Majority of American voters have made it clear what they expect from elected officials, the GOP Congress continues to represent less than 1% of the population in the USA! They abandon their duties, and when they are present they do not accomplish what the majority has said they want. They are injurious to the people of the USA, and they abuse their positions and their misconduct is egregious. IMPEACH the GOP CONGRESS, RETROACTIVELY WITH HOLD THEIR PAY and BENEFITS.

1. I say throw them in prison

[RomneyLies]

2. What a completely ignorant petition.

The "GOP Congress" cannot be impeached.

One should have a working knowledge of the constitution before one embarrasses themselves with such a petition in a public forum.

3. My late father's favorite quote was...

"My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with facts."

The fact that he was pretty rightwing doesn't affect the simple truth of this.

10. That's the right wing attitude in a nutshell

"My mind is made up; don't confuse me with facts" summarizes the teanuts perfectly.

8. Ah yes, the fabled Constitution.

With such quaint, archaic concepts as Freedom of Assembly and Speech. Protection from unreasonable search, habeas corpus and such.

I say go even further. Issue layoff notices to the lot of them. Lay off their staffs, cut their medical benefits and pensions. And chain the doors shut. You know, the same shit they've allowed to happen to the rest of us for the last 40 years or so.

I'm not heartless though. I'd let them collect unemployment benefits for about 6 months, cut them off after that, and maybe in a few months, they'll be ready to work.

9. Apparently, you've never read the document.

From your post, you have no clue how our government operates.

[Fuddnik]

11. Actually, I've read it, and reference it regularly.

But, apparently you've never studied irony.

A little tongue-in-cheek references as to how it's supposed to work, vs how it's applied anymore. It may as well be non-existent.

As for how government works, I've ran for Congress before, managed several campaigns, and was politically active since the '60's.

12. "Irony", or rather sarcasm, is difficult to detect on the internet. n/t

[aptal]

13. I agree.

And how does the poster make a statement that less then 1% of american agree with them. If that were the case they wouldn't be in office.

[tritsofme]

4. Whoever wrote this could use to read a civics book.

You can't do any of those things, and it looks pretty foolish to me.

[quinnox]

5. The republican party needs to go away permanently

They have caused enough damage and almost have destroyed this great country. They are traitors to the nation and seem intent on the destruction of America with their ridiculous and insane policies. How else can one look at what they have stood for in the recent past and come to any other possible conclusion?

6. Domestic terrorism at best, sedition at worst.

The attempt to overthrow a nation's economy is an attempt to overthrow its government.
