The power of the voter temporarily ends once the official is elected.

OK, so why vote?

After all, your statement renders the voting process useless.

Again, I call out for a better system. I, personally, haven't found a better one.

This rendering the voting process useless as you put it is really disturbing.

Are there so few conservatives? fiscal conservatives from which all else follows...

My statement has no power to render anything useless. It merely points out that the ELECTED OFFICIAL has certain duties and repsonsibilities to the people who elected him. Especially those pledges that he campaigned on. This isn't rocket science here and there's no need to complicate it. Your vote gets the person elected..... what he does after the election is all too often NOT what he pledged to do.
