You are absolutely right.

We all complain about the RINOs in Congress, but forget they are elected by a RINO constituency.

I guess the same can be said for DINOs. In Texas, Ralph Hall (D-Rockwall) is consistantly elected by conservative Democrats, and votes more conservatively than his Republican peers from the upper North East.

Right on target. Folks always talk about pols betraying voters - we are up the creek because pols know exactly what the average voter wants.

Just as it is the job of a businessman to make money, not widgets - it's the job of the politician to get elected, not to keep people free.

Successful pols win because they back things such as the income tax, handgun control, Social Security, Medicare, etc... A winning politician knows how to please his customers.
