Terry, I think another translation might be:

If a congressman uses ingenuity to push a popular cause through
that *I* am personally opposed to, then they are an opportunistic
vote mongerer.  However, if this popular cause is something that
*I* am in favor of or neutral towards, then they accurately
reflect their constituency.  It's human nature, I guess...

All I can say is that there are a lot of people who are grateful
to Congressman Wolf, all rhetoric aside.
