...my biggest distrust is with "career politicians".
It is one thing to want to serve the public and perhaps attempt to achieve some sort of "change" (hopefully for the greater good).
It becomes totally different when your primary objective is to seek re-election to your 8th term in office, and you are beholden to donors/special interest groups. The interests of the public are no longer a major concern.
I am a strong proponent of term limits--not just for the office of president or governor--all levels of government. We should not have members of the House or Senate with "seniority" = power, just because they have been there for 40 years. They cannot be that "popular" in their home districts when a lot of the voters in their district weren't even born when they first took office, nor can they relate to the wants/needs of voters the age of their grandchildren/great-grandchildren.
Either move-up or move-on. If you want to seek election to a higher office after a couple terms--fine, and I realize that can turn into a bit of a career, but holding the same office for decades is BS IMO.
OK--rant over--comments?
