Obama praises Romney: "I suspect that on Social Security we’ve got a somewhat similar position"

11. If you keep voting for it

is it really betrayal?

It's not their fault that their constituencies keep doing the same thing, expecting a different result. Sure they can say "Tough shit - you have nowhere else to go!" But no matter what they say or do you still have free will. The similar positions shared between the tops of the two parties include slashing the New Deal safety net and enriching and shielding the Banksters while ratcheting up the Police State for everyone else, but they begin with the proposition that Suckers deserve to get taken. Repetitively extending trust to such people after repeated "betrayals" is not much of a refutation of that motto, if you ask me, but more like confirmation of their shared elitist disdain for powerless, ordinary, working Americans. It's enabling their abuse of the majority. If that's "betrayal", then it is for the vast majority of us a self-betrayal.
