I agree. And the reason this is a problem is that most Representatives are slaves to those who can finance their multi-million dollar re-election campaigns! (It is ironic that the least corruptable Representatives may be those who are already very wealthy.)

I am strongly opposed to term limits because I want to be able to re-elect my Represenative if he/she is doing an excellent and honorable job and they bring valuable experience to the Congress. I will insist on the right to re-elect that person. But I also want to de-elect that person if necessary, and the supersized congressional districts ensure 90%+ re-election rates.
