Of course, you're then stuck at that ultimate issue - do they do so for personal power and enrichment and aggrandizement, or because getting your party in power is what allows the "right" policies and philosophies and thinking to guide your country to its proper path? Again, what is the ultimate motivation? If I truly thought that R thinking was harming my country, and that D thinking was what would rescue it, how would fighting for a D ascendency be treason? I'd be doing it for proper motives. If my country was helping Chavez kill bankers, and I thought this was entirely against what America stands for and was, in fact, bad action, would it be treason for me to find ways to undercut that effort and bring us back to correct thought, even if it meant that morale amongst the banker-killing soldiers dropped?
