Oh, No! Decorum Is Being Lost!

Talk about the "decorum" of Congress is making me nauseated. When politicians can perform acrobatics to get their desired piece of legislation passed, it's ridiculous to maintain decorum. 

Do I want someone yelling "baby killer" on the House floor every day? You betcha! Outbursts like that are some of the rare moments when politicians put their guard down and said what they really mean. If it takes the legislation getting hot and heavy for them to actually come clean, I'm all for it.
