You play by the rules of the game as they are, even if you seek to change those rules. You might want to see earmarks halted, but so long as they are part of the fabric of our politics, you have to work within that framework or your own constituents end up getting the shaft. You might be in favor of publicly funded elections, but until it comes about you have to fund your campaign by the current system. You might be in favor of alternative energy programs, but it doesn't mean you don't own a car.
I like seeing people make some moves to show their convictions, but I don't expect them to go so far as to be incapable of succeeding within the current framework.
