I hope voters consider it heavily when the time comes.

Being as they all seem to do it who do you vote for? The new guy/girl coming in instead of recycling the retread? Hope the new ones don't follow the same path? 

I try not to think about these people too often because I just get angry as hell. They have stopped working for us and they're useless as hell. I used to say if you don't vote you have no right to complain but these days it doesn't matter.

The problem is voters like us.  We turn out for shameless self-promoters.  We don't turn out for guys that are just plain old smart and wise.  The primary elections and the party leadership used to be filters that wouldn't promote someone who was incapable, but those filters are much weaker now because you can just troll email lists for small dollar donations and get the donations and win.
