Here's the rest of Cicero on treason that Bobk's posted... "....For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." [Marcus Tullius Cicero] Especially when they are our elected officials. “Traitor” is correct in this usage.
