You say that as if it is a good thing to keep corrupt people in office “until we find something better”.
That’s precisely where everyone is wrong.
If you remove them from office (and obviously you must vote them out by voting someone IN) then you take the CHANCE of voting in someone who is corrupt. You also take the chance of putting someone NEW and DIFFERENT in office with a mandate that “We’re not going to take any more Crap off our Rep., get it sonny? No more lack of common sense or you’re out TOO”.
Well, we obviously have to vote in someone “better,” right? But that is not all we have to do - and that is what http://pushbackuntil.com/Mandates.htm describes. We can no longer trust our country to the whims of ideologues, utopians, socialists, and the like. As any decent, healthy company does, we need policies (”laws”) the ensure our Republic survives. I do not believe the founding fathers ever could have conceived that our “leaders” would destroy this country. We, the people, must stop them from doing this, and the only way we can do that for the long term is to pass these mandates. Maybe you have better ones, do not know. But at least these are a start.
