They are getting what their elected representative decides HE wants after he is elected. Sometimes (rarely) that is the same as he wanted before he was elected. The chances that what he votes for is what the people who elected him really want, is just too far out to be believable. And if it ever did occur, his vote would be swamped by the majority of "elected representatives" who vote according to the dictates of what comes out of the party rooms. > The remaining 80% are in-fact being dictated to. ALL are being dictated to by the party machines -- unless they are rich enough to buy the party's vote. Am I cynical or just being realistic?
