[QUOTE="Grendel, post: 1581063, member: 15821"] You don't think it's acceptable for someone to change their mind on an issue when they have more experience, or learn more about that issue than they did previously? I.e. Someone gets elected to Congress, begins serving and starts serving on one of the Defense or Intelligence Committees and are now privy to information that they were not before, and now have a different perspective on those issues. Should they not now be free to change their position? Your assessment of kicking everyone out based on the fact that the don't do what they promised during their campaign is exactly what is wrong with the system. What you want is what is happening now, people saying they will do something during their campaign, and then holding their ground so that they don't compromise once they get into a position where the People expect them to compromise. What you are proposing promotes gridlock and stalemate, not moving forward and actually working towards a better future. [/QUOTE]
