In the House, a Refusal to Govern - NYTimes.com 

Ridiculous. "The House will refuse to consider a comprehensive immigration bill that could lead to citizenship for millions of immigrants, Republican leaders said on Wednesday,..."
Reprehensible that the Republicans are not willing to work on the bill and compromise, like their unwillingness to work (16 times!) with the Senate on the budget.
Holding your breath and stomping your feet when you don't get your way befits a 5-year-old -- but is behavior our elected U.S. government should never resemble. It is shameful, and an abrogation of their duties.
We need to censure and soon after fire such obstructionist politicians. This ugly refusal to work together to move forward on important issues sounds like the death rattle of a functional Democracy, if not of one political party in particular.

"These actions show how far the House has retreated from the national mainstream into a cave of indifference and ignorance. House members don’t want to know that millions of Americans remain hungry (in an economy held back by their own austerity ideology), and they don’t want to deal with the desperation of immigrant families who want nothing more than a chance to work and feed themselves without fear of deportation."
