Every elected official who praised Bundy and his extremists needs to resign or face impeachment

[fried eggs]

Starting with Senator Dean Heller (R-Nevada). We have to start taking the RW hate machine seriously.

1. Agreed and why are terrorists still in bundyville threatening unarmed citizens?

And all the while the atmosphere heats up, millions are displaced each year from climate change, no jobs bills from rightwingers and no help with climate issues.

I just wish I could live long enough to sit back and watch the inevitable consequences play out on live tv....

I am like George Carlin in that way, disasters excite me, especially when they include some karma.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. I certainly hope to see political ads against them

that tie their praise of teabagger Bundy and his 'supporters' to the murder of those police.

Words have consequences, and there is blood on their lips.

[JustAnotherGen]

3. I'm taking some deep dives

Into Dominionist Political Ideology - I agree with you, randys1, Erichblood, etc. etc.

However, in their world - the world of the Religious Right -

All they have to do (in their minds) is claim they have been born again, say they are sorry, say they are ashamed - and weak minded people who ALSO believe in a dominionist world view in 'safe districts' and states will hand them their votes, money, and prayers.

That's the reality of it.

And truthfully - Cliven Bundy himself is a part of that Dominionist political spectrum - so the folks who will vote for the Right's candidates actually agree with his stance.

That said - it can and should be used by every left candidate to raise money and rally our folks to the polls.

4. The Bundy family made up the lie that they asked the Miller to leave because he was a felon.

There are lots of felons still there. That was a CYA statement that cannot be refuted since the Millers are dead.

16. All the Bundy's do is lie

Ammon Bundy, the rancher's son, said armed militiamen do accompany his father to news conferences at a roadside protest area and were guarding the family home, but denied they had established a deliberately intimidating presence.

"They have sidearms, but they are not carrying rifles," he told Reuters. "But going down to churches and schools, or stopping people on the road, that's not happening."

5. Dean Heller is an empty core

Nothing inside this fellow. That's the definition of a puppet.

[Nevernose]

6. Literally the highest praise I can give him is

"He's not the absolute worst elected Republican right now."

What I find ironic about him is that twenty years ago he would have been considered a far right extremist, and now he's a "moderate" Republican.

[Pauldg47]

10. Oh, really?

[Nevernose]

20. Maybe you missed the part where this is "Democratic" Underground?

Not many huge fans of Republicans around here, Dean Heller included. At least he's not Ted Cruz is the best I've got for him.

8. resigns yes,impeachment no

[SCantiGOP]

22. agreed

OP pretty well repealed the 1st amendment with his proposal.

9. But cane 'em first so that it sends a message.

11. Members of Congress cannot "face impeachment"

The only way to remove a member of Congress is expulsion, and this requires a 2/3 vote.

Personally I am happy to rely on voters to make these decisions.

[santamargarita]

12. Those people take a lot of pride in being complete assholes!

[jalan48]

13. Shock and Awe

I think this civil unrest will ultimately be used by political candidates who are going to "restore the rule of law". The more confused and fearful Americans become the more they will be willing to accept a tough President who will deal with the perceived anarchy. Ironically, the actions of the right will only hasten the inevitable police state they think is already here. Unfortunately for us, the tough leaders may come from their ranks.

[lostincalifornia]

14. and that goes for hannity and the rest of the hate mongers at fox

[H2O Man]

15. Impeachment is

for executive and judicial branches, but not legislative. I do, of course, back the idea of these snakes being removed.

Recommended.

[fried eggs]

24. Interesting. Are they removed by recall elections?

[valerief]

17. Why haven't the National Guard invaded yet? nt

[hack89]

18. Posse Comitatus Act

[heaven05]

Yet people will vote em in every time.

[redqueen]

21. You misspelled 'mindless asshats'. nt

23. yuk yuk yuk

25. Members of Congress cannot be impeached.

Each body of the Congress may remove members upon a 2/3 vote.

The Constitution of the United States of America
