A New Republican Treason

It seems as if Republicans in Congress could not be content with their treasonous behavior during the debt limit "crisis". Before leaving town they had to hurl yet another insult at working Americans everywhere. You see in this brave new world of right-wing one-party rule in America one thing remains constant. While money is always available for the greediest and least patriotic among us to steal let someone actually try to work and be fairly compensated with it in this country and they are considered part of the problem. Sadly, by treasonous bastards who choose to go on vacation. Such is the on-going saga of the Republican War on FAA workers.
RDemocrat :: A New Republican Treason
Yes, fresh after their terrorist "victory" in risking the economic collapse of America Republicans are in a jobs crisis putting thousands of more people out of work. In a debt crisis they themselves manufactured they are costing the government another billion dollars to do so:
The government is likely to lose more than $1 billion in airline ticket taxes because lawmakers have left town for a month without resolving a partisan standoff over a bill to end the partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Caught up in the partisan acrimony are nearly 4,000 FAA employees who have been furloughed. The FAA also has issued stop work orders on more than 200 construction projects, threatening the jobs of thousands of other workers. Air traffic controllers, however, remain on the job.

1. Did I hear that many are still working with no pay?
OMG if that is true.
Always money for war, no money for workers.
They will go to any lengths to break a union.

Boycott these union busting asswipes.

3. From now on when using the terms Republican or Teaparty use "treasonous" as well
because it's the truth.

They were openly willing to see our country go down the tubes and forced legislation that will cut hundreds of thousands of jobs.

4. Yup. The word treason has

consistently popped into my head over the past few weeks. I just referred to it in another post. It is the word I walked away with after reading the 14 amendment a few weeks back. I think I will do what you suggest and, at least when it pops into my head, use it along with republican and bagger. Sorry, tea parties are still for little girls (and boys and teddy bears), in my mind.

Edit: for boys and bears
