Are They Committing High Crimes and Misdemeanors?

Are members of the House committing great harm to our country and its people,
by their refusing to vote, an action thwarting a majority of representatives, an act causing a stalemate which is shutting down our government and all of a sudden taking pay checks away from many thousands of people. Is this holding back the vote not an act that is deliberately harming the American People?

Because of the NO VOTE food stamps are being held back from thousands of Americans causing many to go hungry.  Is this not indifference to our fellow American's welfare?   The Representatives concern seems to be that no one should get something for nothing.  That is if they aren't banks.

Isn't causing harm to the American People unpatriotic, or is just citing the Pledge of Allegiance being patriotic enough?

Radical conservative elements now sitting in government are doing everything in their power to delegitimize a sitting President.  The era of President Obama held great promise but due to moneyed interests intent on destroying any gains by the democrats we have the impasse now taking place.  Isn't blocking democratic procedures, that are the backbone to democracy, a form of sabotage?  Many Republicans feel that the government is unnecessary and without legitimacy.  I have trouble understanding the conflict that conservatives have about patriotism and a healthy functioning government.  Our government is Democracy in action.  Its function is to benefit the country and promote the welfare of the people.  What part of Democracy don't  they understand?  Ever hear about; for the People, by the People, of the People?  It doesn't say for the Banks, for the Corporations, etc.

The Republicans are deliberately not allowing a vote to take place, which if passed, would allow government to function normally.  Instead an existing law, ObamaCare, is being dangled before the Democrats, like an effigy being  hung by its neck, the Republicans all the while chanting "negotiate, capitulate, or we wont vote".

The next part of the crisis is to come in a week or so.  The Debt Ceiling.  The black mailing of the Democrats by the Republicans, trying to force Obama to backtrack on his most important accomplishment, ObamaCare, is a threat as great as any terrorist attack that could be imagined.  Because they hold office, have access to the media, and smile broadly as they feed us BS about how intent they are in protecting the American People, they aren't being viewed by the public as being terrorists. Is that a view held because of convention or because the people are helpless due to the constant barrage of propaganda being aimed at them. 

The results of what the Republicans are doing will result in greater damage than any terrorist attack.  Starvation, great economic burdens, disruption of people's lives, higher interest rates that the taxpayer will have to pay, international disrespect, a blight on Democracy, and the many things that will result because of  Republican strategy of sabotaging the government.

Too bad these legislatures can't be charged with crimes against the State, or impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, as what is taking place in the House is just as harmful as what the laws seem to indicate.  If charges could be brought for what they are doing they might be more cognizant of the harm they are doing to this country and its people.
