When a politician runs for office on the premise that he has principles and will defend a particular position, but abandons those principles during his first term, the people who voted for him have been "Toomeyed".
The Jr. Senator from PA ran in 2010 as a staunch defender of the 2nd amendment, assumed office in 2011, and in 2013 Toomeyed the voters by joining with with the likes of Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein in a "Yes" vote for cloture on S 649.
Named after Senator Patrick Toomey (R) from Pennsylvania who is notorious for ignoring his constituents (he held zero in-person town halls since becoming elected in 2016 throughout key policy discussions including the appointment of various cabinet members requiring Senate approval to debating health care legislation, and he received tens of thousands of faxes from constituents who were unable to reach him using his email or phone), to toomey someone is to wilfully ignore them, especially in cases where it is one's job to pay attention to them.

A nearly abandoned town on the Atlantic Coast. Prior to the opening of the Confederation Bridge to PEI it was a booming town due to the ferry service running to PEI which provided many jobs for the people and helped its economy. When the bridge was finished and opened in 1997 the ferry service was shut down and over 600 people lost their jobs as a result. Faced with no jobs most people were forced to leave the town and find employment elsewhere. Most of the ferry terminal and wharf structures were dismantled as well as most of the buildings in the town except for a few which are slowly decaying. It is essentially a ghost town now except for the last holdouts,fishermen and a crumbling wharf and a few buildings left to tell of what once was.
