Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWe Have a Problem: 144 Republican in the House and 18 in the Senate Voted to Burn the USA Down.
This is an unparalleled moment in US history, when 162 members of Congress would have preferred the USA go into financial default, effectively collapsing the global economy and perhaps the very Republic they are sworn to protect. Default would have cost the government and the people unimaginable harm and would have rippled across the world. Already, currencies in other nations have lost value because of their close association with the United States.
We need the list of names as soon as possible.
These people must be voted out of office.
They must be branded traitors to their country.
They are the Tyrrany party!
They are the dinosaurs.
They need to be extincted ASAP.
A voter registration drive needs to begin tomorrow targeting their districts and states.

(15,262 posts)The Dems need to rebuild the precinct-level organization of old, where every voter is known and accounted for, involved, and educated on the election, then contacted on election day.

(12,977 posts)But that doesn't mean they should be let off the hook. Not only are they with the Tea Partiers in their hearts -- but they're among the most vulnerable to a solid Democratic challenger. So let the games begin.

(1,035 posts)It's ironic that the same big money business lobbies and Wall Street banks that brought these teabaggers to power are now shutting their wallets or funding saner candidates to run against the teabaggers. The schism that's coming is going to be fun to watch.

(38,613 posts)People will be spending most of 2014 learning about "Obamacare" and seeing it, despite its flaws, as an improvement in their lives, and the lives of their loved ones.
Those fools who voted 40-some times to repeal it will look like freaks. Those who wanted to basically destroy the country to stop it will look like even bigger freaks.
Those people won't be a problem unless WE fail to remind the voters, regularly, who these people are and what they tried to do.

Walden has been a close ally of Boehner and was in the group of Republicans chosen by Boehner to meet with President Barack Obama last week.
The Hood River congressman had voted with the speaker -- and opposite a majority of the Republican caucus -- on the package of tax hikes and spending cuts at the beginning of the year that kept Congress from going over the so-called "Fiscal Cliff."
As chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee -- which oversees the House GOP campaigns -- Walden is a member of the leadership. He and Rep. James Lankford of Oklahoma, the Republican Policy Committee chairman, were the only top leaders to vote no on the deal.

(86,683 posts)yes, no lesson learned there. They think they are going to dela vu this next year.

(15,262 posts)Each election, the demographic of who votes has shifted about 4% due to deaths alone, and the oldest voters are the most conservative. The newest voters are more liberal and less racist. They are fighting a losing war and this seems to drive extremist tendencies and desperation tactics. People don't change, the old ones die. But they will change tactics in the face of defeat rather than admit their predicament.
