Those pesky consituents! Damn them!
No, you weren’t hammered by your own people. You were hammered by the people who elected you, who realize that you’re not one of them - that you are more interested in fawning at the feet of “The One” and preening your own political feathers than defending their country, their Constitution and their legitimate interests.
They are no more your people than they are Obama’s people - and THAT is why they hammered you.
