Hey Democrats- Vote for Louie!

Tomorrow afternoon in the U.S. House of Representatives, a Speaker of the House for the 114th Congress will be elected. In normal times, both parties nominate their leaders, and there is a vote, where the majority party wins. Their leader becomes Speaker. Of course, we don't live in normal times, as the House is infested with quacks and crazies. As a result, Ted Yoho and Louie Gohmert are running for Speaker against Speaker John Boehner tomorrow. They are both quacks and crazies. The word now though is that they might just get enough votes to deny Boehner 218 on ballot one. That's fairly uncharted waters in recent memory. What should Democrats do?

Vote for Louie.

I'd argue Democrats would be smart to vote for Gohmert on ballot one and help him win, but that is so cut-throat that it almost feels dirty. With that said, Democrats have been saying since 2009 that the GOP House Members are a bunch of lunatics and deadbeats who want to make sure President Obama fails. Not that John Boehner has courageously fought against them, but the crazies who drive these policies think Boehner is their enemy, and they want to replace him with a real nut. Well, Democrats would be strategically smart to help them do that, so the GOP can prove they are a bunch of lunatics and deadbeats. Yes, the results for the country may be catastrophic. The country did elect those catastrophic results in the mid-terms though. The resulting chaos would perhaps teach the country a lesson about voting for nut-jobs. After the second attempt at impeachment, and third shutdown over fictional ACORN funding, perhaps people would get the point- modern conservatism is insane.

Obviously, Democrats won't do this. We'll hear about the cost of default and other issues. Adult responsibility, I guess.
