The people as a whole on the conservative side have the right objectives in mind,it's just when we elect politicians they turn on us or perhaps reveal themselves for what they really are,self FIRST, then maybe country second.
It's really hard to find people with impeccable integrity who are not corruptable. Power definitely corrupts.
Now trying to find hundreds of them willing to sacrifice their own reelection is damn near impossible.
Term limits would help this some,but you still need men like the ones who founded this nation.
