Re: Department of H and HS is looking for national security threats?

"All we have to do is vote all their corrupt asses out of office..."

Not quite so easy—need to have people to replace them! MAYBE you can find a handful of highly-principled, incorruptible people who are willing to hold high office... but I seriously doubt that enough exist on the planet to fill the whole of Congress.

As Lord Acton famously said, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."
