You get what you vote for. They are simply a reflection of our own idiocy and ignorance.

With all due respect, that is a cop out.
It's not the people we vote for. It is the process. The system is flawed.
Flawed to the point where decent people can be coerced into going along with the status quo, which is the garbage that goes on up there, in their first term.

No, it actually is the people we vote for. Systems don't cast votes on our behalf. Living, breathing people do. As long as the American people insist on reveling in their own ignorance, idiocy, and cowardice this is what we have to look forward to.

You're missing the point. The system creates the politician.
Most newbs go in wide eyed and full of ideas. Then they meet with the people in leadership posts. The newbs are told that if they want to make things happen, they have to get the plum committee assignments. They are told that the promises they make to their constituents don't mean anything, They are told they are there to serve some notion of a greater good. And if they want to do great things they have to first learn how it is. Learn to play ball.
