Wharf, ok, you've put me in a position I don't really like. I have no love for this GOP. I think Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell are all absolute idiot ideologues. However, your language is one of extremes. Senators and Representatives have a duty to "resist the economic policies of this President", if they believe they are unConstitutional or otherwise destructive to the American people. If I was in Congress, I would be resisting Obama's economic policies as well. Keynesianism is destroying the 99%. Resisting Obama on that is a no brainer and a clear priority for the portion of the 99% that is educated enough not to buy into the propaganda that QE and ZIRP is good for them, when all educated people understand that it is only good for the 1%. In addition, I sure as hell would resist Obama's policies of currying favor with Wall Street and not prosecuting Wall Street criminals like Corzine. Why do you think Senator Warren is so vocal...and she's a Democrat? The Democrats have lost their minds. One of the key reasons I voted for Obama is that I thought he would be for the 99%, not the 1%, and I knew the GOP would always be for the 1%. I've turned against the Democrats, just as I did the GOP, because Obama has become just another Wall Street ass licker. "Duty to resist", "insurgency against Obama's economic policies"...those words used by the GOP Senators should be equally applicable to any thinking person who would like to see the MAJORITY of Americans benefit from a healthy economy, not just the 1%.
