The GOP issued a list of demands it wants met before it will sign on to a continuing resolution to keep the government running. It’s interesting: it more or less matches the Romney campaign’s platform.

. . . we have congressional Republicans, who think they’ve found a way for the GOP to present a policy platform to the nation, watch it get rejected, and then implement [it] anyway — as if election results are a mere suggestion that our elected policymakers should ignore as part of an extortion scheme.

Reprehensible doesn’t cover it. Despicable doesn’t cover it. Treasonous might. The last time an American political party tried this 600,000 people died.
