Seditious Republicans Spend Paid Vacation Instigating Rebellion Among Military Generals [View all]

Tea Party Republican Congressman Doug Lamborn of Colorado is spending his seven week paid vacation behind the scenes urging military generals to resign in protest of President Obamas policies.
This is very different from Allan Wests attempt to instigate a military rebellion via Facebook, as reported by Justin Baragona on Friday. True, West and Lamborn rely on Tea Party mythology to rally dissent within the military. However, as a former one-term Congressman, West is reduced to making his case on Facebook. Lamborn is a sitting Congressman and a member of the House Armed Services Committee with all the power that comes with those positions. He is also trying to incite rebellion at the highest levels of the military.
According to Cory Hutchins of Main.com, Lamborn admitted that he and unnamed others are asking Generals to quit the military during a meeting with 50 Tea Party supporters in a bar basement on Tuesday night.

Republican members of Congress chose to run away for a seven-week paid vacation. Some of the Koch Brothers men chose to debate policy on ISIS at the clown car summit (aka The Values Summit) because its much easier to complain and criticize on the sidelines instead of taking responsibility by debating and voting one way or another in Congress.

While on active duty. US Generals should stay out of politics and avoid affairs.
