"Through their participation in The Pennsylvania Treason, the Republican Party, George Bush and Rick Santorum have lost the right to ever again ask for the support of pro-lifers. "

Treason is a strong word, and seriously misused in this article. To accuse Bush of treason for their support of a candidate, even though that candidate is pro-choice, is a serious error.

If one wants to find the meaning of treason in the United States of America, one only need look at our Constitution.

Neither Bush nor Santorum come anywhere close to treason. This article is a scurrilous attack.

Here is the section from Article 3 of our Constitution that defines Treason:


Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.



The article posted is a vicious slander. There is no treason involved.

Obviously, this author is referring to treason towards the conservative cause, not the country. You're being disingenuous or thick headed.
