And no, trolls, the answer is not to stay home and refuse to vote in the midterm elections.

Does there ever come a point at which not supporting those that stab you in the back becomes operative?

Yes! When you have nothing to lose either way in the long run.

This short window of time is our chance to preserve some of our rights a little longer without any terrible, violent, immediate price to pay. As for the debt collapse, that's probably inevitable. One can see it in the debt clock of each state, too, after a quick search. ...and in many other kinds of debts.

Until recently, I haven’t seen anything to gain in quite a few elections. At least this time, there are a few men and women who are truly working hard and taking great personal risks for us on some issues. We owe it to them to support them with as favorable a Congress as we can put in office. Otherwise, the few good ones will be completely exposed to what they’re risking.
