That’s leadership.

Leadership my ass. You're not voting for leadership you're voting for someone to represent you in DC. If you need a leader you have problems....
You must have an interesting semantic twist to the term leader if you think Congress critters are not leaders.

One has to be somewhat naive to believe all of the Congress critters are leaders. It does not take leadership to vote on how your constituents want you to vote or to vote in those matters upholding the constitution. Most will, at one time or another, vote on issues to benefit their own self interest (or the Party interest) and many have, and will continue, to vote against matters clearly spelled out in the constitution. Honesty and ethics are some good leadership traits to have but, like H. L. Mencken said: " A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar."
