>The voter is indeed a fickled entity with a tendency to forgive or perhaps that is just plain stupidity in disguise! On the other hand, perhaps the voter is too preoccupied with attempting to survive to worry or be overly concerned about such matters. Apathy at the polls resulting in meager turn out of voters is perhaps a consequence.
Some stupidity and preoccupied with life, but, IMO, much has to do with the politician's ability to convince their constituents that the problem is with the other Representatives and not them.
