Corporate America craves big government and corporate America and their lobby armies also pick the candidates that run. That's why when these republican politicians find themselves in the spotlight, they tend to hide like cockroaches, because they know they weren't paid to be anything remotely resembling a "conservative".
We're blaming everyone but ourselves, the voter.

There's blame there, sure. But what can you vote for? The candidates aren't chosen by you, their campaigns aren't funded by you, the lobbyists they have the most contact with aren't paid by you. All you have to go by is what they say and run on and then you have no recourse short of "insurrection" or emails they don't read, phone calls they don't take, carefully managed town halls or listening sessions you likely can't get an invite to or a voice at. And when you do vote them out, once again, the board is set before you even get that vote.
I think you put too much blame on the voter.
