I always thought the idea was that Representatives should, well, represent their constituents while Senators should vote for what they think is best for the country. Also, do you really believe this is a neo-con only phenomenon? That liberals and less "neo" conservatives always vote based on clear principles? Finally, it seems both sides of the aisle joined together in ignoring their constituents in order to bail out Wall Street at taxpayer expense back in 2008. Not quite sure what principle was involved, but they definitely thought they knew better than us plebs.
House and Senate?
