It's treason. There is no other word for it in our language.

Certainly glad that I've haven't voted for the traitors!

I think we have to seriously consider that there is an adage that goes, "You shall be known by the company you keep." I would not run for Congress, because I do not want to be known as they, and I am not lily white, or as a friend of mine tells me, "You do not have nail holes in the palms of your hands!"

What I am suggesting is every time we send those serving back to do more of the same, we make it more impossible to expect good people to want to serve. Any validity in this suggestion, then we must massively cleanse Congress, but who wants to believe that we are serious about doing it, for decades we haven't, so who can trust us? That is why we only get those like the ones we have.

The opposite of this is the ones that are there feel safe and empowered to run us over because we don't reject them but seldom, very, very seldom! Voters have not built themselves a box, but we are buried, mired in self created mud.

America needs a miracle performed by a miraculous someone!
