Reading the Constitution aloud in the House

Can Boehner's plan to start this House session with the reading aloud of the Constitution be seen as anything other than yet another gimmick from these jingoistic jagoffs to claim the Constitution for the GOP? Methinks not.

This is yet another word game from the same party of dickheads who brought us the "Patriot Act" and the "Job-Killing Health Care Law Act," not to mention "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and "Operation Just Cause."

Where do they come up with these ideas/names? They must have some sort of office full of Madison Ave. flunkies coming up with this chit.

let me tell you, this will be effective. THe GOP crystallizes it's message in many powerful and innovative ways. This bit of buffoonery is yet another.

Gimmick, and pretty blatant one at that. Which is why it'll work.
They do it to remove any question of their intent to enforce strict constitutionalism, then they'll proceed to use the constitution for a buttwipe. Only damn few people will accept that that's what's going on. Because they read the constituion in the chamber, and they're squeaky clean, unreproachable and Godly..........Right?

More barking for the herd.

Wouldn't it be great to slip in some sarcastic nonsense into the copy of the Constitution these maroons are reading. I bet the Tea Party Constitutionalists wouldn't have a clue as they'd bob their heads self-righteously.

Oh I don't know, I think we can count on the GOP to empty both barrels into their feet.

I think that this will be readily apparent in a matter of a few short weeks (if it isn't already).
