It's not their fault...it's ours. We elect them to represent us. If they do a poor job of that and we stupidly or ignorantly re-elect them we are telling them they have done as we wished...so they do it even more until we choose to NOT re-elect them.

We should stop trying to educate our representatives and instead start trying to educate the voters. We get what we elect.
