SOMEONE IS ALIVE IN THE GOP - AT 6:51 A.M. ET:  From The Politico:

New York Republican Rep. Peter King thinks his party needs to go nuke if Bush era officials are prosecuted on torture charges.

King, the outspoken ranking member of the House homeland security committee, said Republicans should "shut down [legislative] activity across the board" if any Bush-era officials are hauled into court.

"We would need to have a scorched-earth policy and use procedural means to bring the place to a halt — go to war," he told POLITICO.

He added:

"If we have another 2,000 people killed, I want Nancy Pelosi and [liberal philanthropist] George Soros, John Conyers and Pat Leahy to go to the funeral and say, 'Your son was vaporized because we didn’t want to dump some guy's head under water for 30 seconds.'"

COMMENT:  Whether you agree with Pete King or not, at least someone in the GOP is showing a little anger.  Some of today's GOP leaders need electro-shock therapy to get their brains started. 

The hard left in the Democratic Party, heavily headquartered in northern California and adjoining precincts, will apparently stop at nothing to paralyze our national-security apparatus and prosecute Bush officials, with the dream of getting to Bush and Cheney themselves.  Fortunately, a backlash against these nut jobs is building.
