Many of our founding fathers felt that our country should not be run by career politicans, but rather, we should elect a citizen legislature whose members serve a few years out of civic duty, and then return to the civilian life from which they came. Indeed, that was the premise of the “Civilian Legislature Act,” which was Item No. 10 in Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America. Could you please ask your good friend Duncan Hunter how he feels about career politicans and if he agrees with the founding fathers, then why, as a conservative, has he spent 27 years in Congress, rather than serving a few terms and then retiring back to private life?

All I can say is you better thank your lucky stars that Hunter and some like him have stayed in place.

But if private sector experience is your guide, you might want to support uh,,,,,uh,,,,,uh

Show me someone who’s running who isn’t a ‘career’ politician?

Good grief!

At least Duncan Hunter has gotten his hands dirty doing real HONEST work. The dirtiest Rudy’s hands have gotten is handling Karik.
