(13,725 posts)"Traitors" is possibly a stretch, even when discussing Republican leaders/SuperPACs and the "Job Exporters" they serve. We don't want to overcharge the perps and have them walk on a technicality. Unmistakably, Republicans have aided and abetted American rivals and enemies, but it is mostly unintentional, the product of incompetence and a half-witted core ideology. The typical "Kansas Republican" stooge who actually pulls the voting lever isn't trying to attack America. They are (at this sad point in their ethical spiral) trying to recover from the humiliation of their support for George W. Bush and the failure Republicans brought to the country. Their feelings are so strong that they are actually grateful for the outright lies of Mitt Romney and American Crossroads. Your typical working and middle class Republican doesn't want to stop and think about the past. They want someone to lie to them about that to make them feel ok again.
