When did Republicans walk out on a vote? When did Republicans label every single George Bush critic as a racist? Please provide examples?

"Where where you when a reporter kept interupting the Pres.? Where were you when Romney supporters were showing up at Obama speaches and honking car horns"

One reporter acting disrespectful (and he was) is not the same as Congress walking out on the job, and accusing the other side of racism (which is funny given that the other side includes some blacks, but you won't comment on that, I wonder why). That reporter is not elected to represent the best interests of the citizenry. And as for the car honking thing, I don't know what you are referring to. But Bush wasn't always treated respectfully, either.

I'm talking about a large number of United States congressmen, who get paid a ton of money to represent their constituents, refusing to participate in important public policy debates, because they sensed they were getting beat in a perfectly fair fight. If you can provide a recent example of house republicans doing the same thing, I'll admit that neither side has a monopoly on bratty behavior. But if you coulda done that, you woulda done that.

Once again, it's ironic that a man who refers to tea partiers as tea bagging racists feels justified in lecturing me about civil debate. Do it all you want, but we all know that you only do that, because you cannot begin to respond to the merits of my original post.
