It's not an easy thing to take -- being betrayed. The Party of "free markets" and small government has managed to royally mess up both.

I have been betrayed, indeed. The party of "free markets" did it, too. They spent freely; concerned more about staying in power, using earmarks to buy favors; they too often caved to Democrat political correctness (TSA being a glowing example); Bush caved to incompetent perfumed princes disguised as G.O.s until General Keane and General Petraeus, with the fervent pressure of Sen McCain insisted on a change in strategy aka "surge". it worked, even BHO admits. While I don't like with his domestic chicanery, McCain will not betray this country at war, as BHO surely will with inexperience and stupidity.
The Dems, however, have for 75 years betrayed us in every bit of the Constitution, its promise of free markets, free minds and individualism. They have visited imperial powers of government on us, absconded with our property with taxation, taken our self-respect with welfare programs and made us dependents of their overweening state; interfered with our right to bear arms; dictated our choices in nearly every sphere of enterprise; and dictated our morals just as surely as the Religious Right, forcing diktats as free abortion, the gay agenda, school curriculum. With a never-ending regulatory regime, they have presumed to be smarter than the very people who built our marvelous economy, ruining it. Witness the current crisis, where pols like Dodd and Frank, while paying off political allies, have blown up the banking system. I actually believed that lying buffoon Clinton when he said, "the era of big government is over". Betrayed again.
So, yes, I have been betrayed by a political class that works only for its own reelection. I hope the American public has not been blinded by the empty promises and hollow speeches of a charlatan from Chicago. They will be punished for their gullibility, if they are. Hope is not audacious, it is not a strategy, it is empty words from Jeremiah Wright who would damn America.
A cynic is a idealist betrayed.
