Betrayal??? It has taken all this time for you to come up with the concept of betrayal? What are you smoking, O'Reilly? What do you think has been going on for the last 8 years? How in the world is it that idiots like you come to such prominence in the media? Oh, excuse me, I meant the liberal elitist media.

P.S., Mr. O'Reilly-come-lately: If you would like to see some display of outrage with a little, what is it...spine, class, believability behind it, check out Maureen Dowd in the Sunday N.Y. Times. It's clear you don't have any of that, or the guts, to actually call these people out.

While you're checking out the Sunday N.Y. Times, Mr. O'Reilly, and since the topic is betrayal, hope you had a chance to catch Sunday's, Meet the Press. I'm sure you and all your blood brothers are yearning to espouse your views as to why a Republican, African American, former Secretary of State, and four-star General with a 40 year history of service to his country as a Republican would support a Democratic candidate. Fresh meat for dinner, boys. Let's see how many ways you can try to slice and dice former Secretary of State, Republican, Colin L. Powell. You boys are getting ready to show your true colors; and they are neither red nor blue.

Sir;... Isn't that tough to believe??? -Betrayal on a national level and you can only name three examples, with one an officer of corporation, and two democrats in the congress. Your restraint is admirable. I mean, I think you have the right idea. It is betrayal, sort of, more like a breach of faith, more on the order of a felony. This betrayal of trust reminds me of book I read once called psychology of the absurd. And the author noted that some times people in relationships deliberately engage in an infidelity knowing full well it will end the relationship. Whether they do not want to take responsibility for openly confronting the other person with their desire to leave, or they want to hurt the other and make the other choose to leave, or whether they just don't have the nads for a give and take relationship remains an open question. Could it be that our financial powers have had enough of us??? Maybe they want to cash it in Knowing they will end up owning America and will have us all working for free, or starving in the street. Isn't that the idea in having the government ensure their profit? Is it not because the government does not have to advertize to get paid, and can jail anyone who does not pay??? Isn't the power of government better than a good service or product??? Who else can demand money and get it; and who else would be so generous as to give to the very criminals who have robbed this country for years. They are cool. The whole bunch are cool, cool, cool.... And you are cool too. You are not above making a little political hay out of this nonsense. The fact is, that there is plenty of blame to go around. Even you rate some blame... People like you, who have always been prepared to strip government of the power to oversee, to regulate, or to guard the welfare and justice of the people are guilty... I'm not going to punish you, but I find you plenty guilty... I hope the people you have hurt go after you and bother you.... I hope they bore you, and abuse you, and question your rights. I hope they intimidate you... I hope they deny your right to justice, and ridicule you... Isn't that your refuge; ridicule, or is is sarcasm??? Maybe you don't realize that good government is the strong right arm of the people. So what if we have no good government??? What have you ever done to improve it??? If it is improved, if government is ever made to act on the people's behalf, people like you will be behind bars for you own protection because no sane government would waste money or time protecting you when your whole life is self service... I know you. I have known a hundred people just like you in my life, and I wouldn't be like you if you were the best example I had...There is always someone like you at the head of the line getting his and crapping all over everything he can't cart off... It's the American way... And that is my idea of betrayal... You've taken something from this place, and you've taken something from the people. What have you given the world but lies???...Thanks for nothin...Sweeney
