You really have to wonder why a politician will do almost anything to retain the position (power). I mean I heard in the past that being a representative was a part time job and maybe even non-paying. You would think true patriots would say "this is where I stand on these set of issues, and as long as the majority of my constituents vote for me I will continue to represent you (maybe up until what seems like reasonable term limits). When the majority of my constituents don't vote for me then I''ll go get a job in the private sector.
Since the above doesn't seem to be the norm, I have to believe there is a ton of corruption in politics such that they'll do whatever they can to retain their position.
