Not a pretty comparison, but, nonetheless, I bear you no ill will.
Recognizing that you have been betrayed by someone in whom you had invested so much hope and loyalty and support is a painful journey.
It is a bit like a mother-in-law who must painfully accept the evidence that her son-in-law has murdered her daughter. Or maybe a wife who wants to deny evidence that her husband is molesting his stepchild.
It is a long painful journey from loyalty to reality when faced with profound and heartbreaking betrayal. We all travel it at our own speed. I wish you well.
Just when I thought the vitriol was as vile as it could be, you managed to reach a new low. Bush's support of this awful bill is incomprehensible and is definitely alienating the very people most responsible for his getting elected and re-elected. But to compare this "betrayal" of his base to murdering a loved one or molesting a child is utterly ridiculous and demonstrates the severity of your BDS. Perhaps I was being to generous when I said your posting was worthy of Ms. Sheehan.
