What’s wrong with verifying who our leaders are? Should they at least be able to pass the same background tests that applicants for an FBI job have to pass?
After all, their decisions have the power to affect our national security; shouldn’t we make sure they at least meet the same standards as the rest of us if we want a government job in the security sector? Or even a regular government job for that matter.
It would be good to know ahead of time, if the person running for senator has criminal ties? Graft or corruption allegations? A drug problem. Is there anything in the background that could subject him/her to blackmail? http://www.thelonestarwatchdog.com/2013/01/26/background-checks-for...
