What's Wrong With Congress

Ryan Costello (R-PA06) went on All In last night and couldn't manage to say much of anything except that it all makes him sad.

(MSNBC sucks green weenies when it comes to embedding their video)

BTW - I'm not interested in bashing the Dem for "soft-peddling" on this. Boyle made his point even though I'd like to hear it made in much sharper terms.

Costello (and Repubs in general) refuse to confront the problem. They speak in neutral terms - like Costello saying it's up to the people to vote Steve King out. He says the voters need to send King the message that they're not with him.

Here's the thing, Mr Costello - you have to put your money where your mouth is. You have to stand up in public, and in Congress, and tell King straight out: "I won't be voting with you on anything. I won't support or endorse or co-sponsor anything you propose. Ever. And Mr Speaker, until you do something about Mr King, I won't be voting with the Republican caucus on much of anything either."

Stop blaming his asshole constituents for a problem they refuse to solve when you refuse even to help them identify the problem as a problem.

You're a leader - so fucking lead already.
