Senate and House incumbency re-election rates today stand at 93 percent and 97 percent, respectively (enough to make the Soviet Politburo blush). American voters are idiots and responsible for the decline.

yes, our founders were statesmen who took great pains and risk to travel to govern for a few weeks/months a year, then return home to their businesses/lives. What we have now is American Idol, just the political version, with idiot voters at home calling it in for whomever offers them the most.
