This needs to be done more often to dramatize the Democrat's lack of focus on anything serious and focus on playing politics.
Needs to be coordinated with press conferences, blog articles and other propaganda....kinda like the Democrats are good at doing.

And then they all marched back in to vote on recognition for African American achievements.
Because, protecting America may be important, but not important enough to avoid pandering to a constituency that willl never vote Republican.
