They must be honest with their base at all times, even when they can not support the wanted position. Too many political, group, labor and religious leaders have a lot on the line when they report back to the bodies that they represent. When the message is incorrect or inconsistant then trouble starts.Usually the leaders seem out of touch with the congressman to the members that they represent. Especially if they recommended that their members vote to elect that congressman. They will have a hard time getting re-elected themselves. There is a lot on the line. Its the seriousness of the political procedure. Now we have whitnessed the results. It is the lesson.
