"When elected officials ignore public opinion, isn't that treason?"

You won't hear it from the Iraq War Architects  on TeeVee,  but according to The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press; Public Opinion Runs Against Syrian Attack

The new national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted Aug. 29-Sept. 1 among 1,000 adults, finds that Obama has significant ground to make up in his own party. Just 29% of Democrats favor conducting air strikes against Syria while 48% are opposed. Opinion among independents is similar (29% favor, 50% oppose). Republicans are more divided, with 35% favoring air strikes and 40% opposed.

treason, noun,

1.  Violation of allegiance toward one's country.

2. A betrayal of trust or confidence.

I want my Hope and Happiness Back!

 

This is a picture of the late, great, Myrna Copeland celebrating the inauguration of President Barack Obama from a face book page dedicated to her memory.  I remember that night and how excited, happy, and hopeful were all were.  We joined hands, formed a circle, and sang We Shall Over Come because we truly believed the long, national, Bush, Dick, Rumsfeld and Company nightmare was over.  We left the Davidson Center that night full of HOPE for CHANGE we could BELIEVE in.

So what happened?  How did the winners turn into losers, and the losers into the winners?  I'll tell you what happened...the gop infused,media enabled, TeaPublicans  happened.

President Obama didn't help matters by trying to play nice with the TeaPublicans at the expense of people like us  Professional Lefty Retards. What part of you can't play nice with people who hate you didn't he understand?

The Talking TeeVee Pundits Heads helped hijack Hope for Change we can believe in by providing the fair and balanced get a way car.  The truth is not fair and balanced, it's either the truth or it's not.   Case in point, Monday's Jansing and Company line up on MSNBC featured a segment with former RNC chair Micheal Steele representing the republican point of view, and former  Congressman Artur Davis representing the democratic point of view. Big eye roll.

What have the TeaPublicans and the Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads  ever been right (no pun) about?  When have they ever been on the right (no pun) side of history?    I wonder what they are going to say when Ron Paul wins the Iowa Caucus?
