*****Even O spent some time in federal and state legislatures before taking the plunge.*****

Right there tells us why career politicians should be culled out and term limited.

How many founding fathers were career politicians?

What about ‘for the people & by the people’.

Proving your credentials of citizenship and accomplishment outside of a political career should be the first conservative requirement.

Most of them couldn't wait to get out of Washington after serving time in office. Jefferson left and never returned.

Absolutely and there should be a constitutional amendment that no member of the house or senate and no president or vice president can be an attorney or even a law school graduate. In my worst moods I want to make that requirement extend to judges at all levels also. Far too many attorneys and judges appear to have ZERO respect for the constitution or for common sense morality. We now have a supreme court which shows very minimal inclination to consult the document before rendering absurd decisions.
