They no longer care what we think, because we don't butter their bread anymore. They know they can say idiotic things such as "Alberto Gonzales provided a great service to his country" and still get re-elected. The K-Street lobbyists and the internationalists are the ones who butter their bread now. Wouldn't it be nice if we had representatives who realized that their real lobbyists are the people in their districts, rather than the ones who wine and dine them and caress their egos.
