While that is true I would still vote for someone who is not afraid 
to stand up for their ideas. The fact is with all the input Congress 
gets on these issues they are supposed to explain the best options to 
the population and let them know what they think is the best course 
of action. I hate the way politics is now. And I've spent quite a bit 
of my life engaged in it. I was on the California Democratic State 
Exec Comm when Nancy Pelosi Chaired that body.
