Should Teapartiers who vote for default be prosecuted for treason?

And what should the penalty be for destroying our nation's economy?

    That's a lot of prosecutions.

    The legal processing fees alone would just make the financial problem that much worse.

    The only default is Obama who only cares about the next election. He has never had a written plan or budget for this country since in office. Excuse me, there was the disaster Obama Care that will all but destroy our economy and childrens future.

    Of course not... treason is a pretty specific crime and a vote against raising the debt ceiling, unless done as an attack on the US, would not be treasonous. Idiotic? yes. Harmful? certainly. Treasonous? calm down there, hot rod...

    The charge of Treason falls on obama.

    If only you could be prosecuted for stupidity and both Dems and Reps could be prosecuted for the spending they have done. The world would be a better place.

    Default is not going to happen. We have sufficient of revenue to cover our obligations. If the Democrats are so concerned about this issue, perhaps they should propose something on paper. All I'm seeing, and hearing is liberal flak.

    Treason means actively plotting to overthrow the United States by force. As stupid as TEA Partiers are, you can't convict them of treason for failing to understand our economic system.

    No. Is it treason when the others do it?
