"The reason we have a Constitution is to prevent MEN from governing by FIAT or whim."

It doesn't seem to be stopping them from doing it regardless of the Constitution. See the smoking bans going up all over the US for example. See the seatbelt laws. See the drug laws. See the fact that abortion is legal. I hate all those things, but men made those laws without any regard for the constitution and we are letting them get away with it. We are electing people into high ranking positions just because they have an R next to their name without looking closer to see if they really are worthy of our support. It's party over policy and it's not getting us where we need to be. (and of course, this has been said over and over but no one ever listens)

You are right. A vast number of Americans are unprincipled and vote their pocketbooks rather than moral principle. I vote moral principle and ONLY moral principle. Party affiliation means NOTHING to me except that I believe the Democrat Party to be EVIL - just read their platform - they are for killing unborn babies, destroying the 5,000 year old traditional family, not to mention they are secular humanist/socialist who want to make us all subservient to the federal government (slaves), and who want to make our government subservient to the United Nations. In my opinion, the Democrat Party is evil through and through and I wouldn't vote for a Democrat under any circumstances as anyone who claims allegiance to that party has a moral screw loose somewhere.
