You hit the nail on the head, finally a question where the asker, actually gets it. I will be interested in these answers, we voters have a lot of explaining to do. We are hypocrites and that crosses both party lines.

Our founding fathers meant for our reps to be ordinary folk doing 1 term in Washington then going back home to the farm or factory.
I quess cash filled envelopes changed that quick enough.

Only 95% of us are hypocrites then.

I think it's the never-ending hope that "things'll be different this time."

that's simple - lack of choice.
only in theory can we elect anyone we want to.
in fact, we have almost no choices...

It's always the other congressmen that suck, not ours.
