When your constituents are mostly tea-baggers and freepers or are mostly influenced by people like that they will vote you out of office for supporting things like: "socialized medicine" and "communist labor unions" and "crazy environmental conspiracies". There is absolutely no way around this predicament no matter how much you reject special interest money. The fact is that the right wing has managed to make a decent sized chunk of the masses support things that benefit the elites. That is a political reality and one that can't be corrected overnight.
