While I agree that the longer one stays in Congress the more "corrupt" they can become we voters have a choice every election whether to re-elect them. Instead of blaming the bad people in Congress the onus should be on the voters.Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845915135831361834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363381017073851206.post-53465713813201078952009-11-01T12:58:49.719-05:002009-11-01T12:58:49.719-05:00The only infallible, unstoppable, guaranteed way t...The only infallible, unstoppable, guaranteed way to get a truly new Congress is :<br />NEVER REELECT ANY INCUMBENT!
