We should expect our government employees to be a little more professional than to let name calling and denigrations factor into the lawmaking process. I work in retail and it's like when a customer is rude to me, I still have to maintain a professional attitude. If I was the owner of the store I could tell any customer I didn't like to take a hike but I'm not the owner and our government is not the owner of this country.

I don't deny that you have a point in saying that we should be respectful of our government but on the other hand this is a free country, the people have free speech and government employees should act professional by rising above pettiness. What they do affects not just the few who might be rude to them but all of us.
