Sure I do. NOBODY is irreplaceable and projects can be handed from one guy to another. Reps shouldn't have agendas or pet projects; they should do WTF their constituents want and tell them to do as a majority.

ETA: lobbying for their state is a part of their job that goes without saying.

everyone is a libertarian until they find out it means less goodies for them.

Very few want to be forced to do as others wish but there are many who wish to have the ability to force others to do as they wish.

Then... there are the pragmatic... those who see that you can't get people to give up all the the goodies paid for by the nebulous "rich" and that you can't get people to give up wanting to run everyone elses lives...

In the end.. you are lucky if you can just keep the democrats out of power...

sometimes... that is all you can do.

It's a good thing everyone hasn't always thought that way. We wouldn't have a country at all.

what about your road that needs fixed? what about that new bridge that you want? what about that fed grant to local business? what about the fed research grant for your local university?

you don't want him/her out of office do you?

you make it sound like HE'S paying for that Road, that Bridge, that Grant, Both parties promise the world to get into Office then they spend spend spend and the Tax payers flip the bill.

How about line item voting?

Every single line item has to be brought to the floor, debated and submitted for a full, separate vote.

Bog them down in their own paperwork!

Actually, get the IRS to make the forms for submitting a spending bill.
