Kudos to two local representatives who voted against the Farm Bill. Jim McDermott, a liberal Democrat from WA 7th District and Jennifer Dunn, Republican from WA 8th District.

Re: "their answer is quite simple: Don't vote."

>>> I've got a better answer: Put 'None of the Above' as a candidate on all ballots. When None of the Above wins more votes than either of the Big Government, Big Taxes major part candidates... it would force a new election, say, in 30 days or so.

I think shame alone would force the disgraced losing major party candidates to withdraw... and maybe some new blood would enter the campaigns.
