40. I don't want to be them - I STILL agree that dissent is a right and a responsibility

if you disagree. It is not treasonous to disagree - no matter how pathetically or stupidly it is done. Treason is very specific - and to use the word for negative comments (even if the right did) diminishes how serious a real charge of that is.

Not to mention, if a Republican is in office in the future, we will BEGGING Democrats to speak out. Do you want people like Grayson, who can go over a line, to be called a traitor for not respecting a sitting President?

When Palin makes comments against Obama, she will be cheered by the nutty right and will embarrass more moderate Republicans and independents.
