I think the point of our system is not perfect politicians, but rather 
the knowledge that leaders will be imperfect, and that the system is 
designed to counterbalance abuses of authority by imperfect politicians. 
Nothing's perfect.  We strive for perfection and get "pretty good" most 
of the time.  The whole is greater (and closer to perfection) than the 
sum of the parts.
