SC_Pete :"The system corrupts them faster than we can vote them out."

So true !!
What we need is a RECALL option for the Federal Govt. representatives in order to make them accountable to the constituents who elected them.
Once every two /four / six years is not enough !
As soon as they get into Washington , they are instructed to spend 8 hours a day organizing funding for the party, and the rest on legislation.
The Country should come first , the constituents should come second and the political party should be the last consideration.
The problem is that the Political party conducts the initual orientation , and they are tainted by greed , power , and blinded by their own personal arrogance.

Term limits would do it.
Incumbency is the single most corrupting influence of our entire political system. One they stand for re-election, they are owned.
