Indeed, the vast majority of incumbents were re-elected and it pretty much will be business as usual for the 112th Congress — fulfilling promises made not to voters, but to lobbyists for special interests, and continued fealty to Wall Street at the expense of Main Street.

Is American democracy a beautiful thing, or what?
