And instead they showed up in record numbers and they it turned out and they just defeated Democrats down the ballot. In the process, they elected Republicans to stop this. And now the Republicans have the largest number of seats in the House they've had in Congress since the Civil War. And it hasn't made any difference at all. It is as though Nancy Pelosi is still running the House and Harry Reid is still running the Senate. "Betrayed" is not even the word here. What has happened here is worse than betrayal. Betrayal is pretty bad, but it's worse than that.

This was out-and-out, in-our-face lying, from the campaigns to individual statements made about the philosophical approach Republicans had to all this spending.

It is dismaying me to realise that some of the worst of the betrayals and plots to confound conservatives have emanated from one of the supposedly most conservative states in the Union, my own home state of Mississippi, of which I had been formerly rather proud for being recalcitrant when it came to trying to be “more progressive than thou”. The times, they are a-changing indeed.
