Oh, I get it you are telling me that the Founders created a government to be run by amateurs then immediately staffed it with professional politicians and lawyers? Suuure they did.

Not establishing qualifications is not the same thing as ruling out professional politicians. Apparently you don't consider the implications of the things you write. Implications are not equivalent to Straw Men.

Hey, if you admit that the Founders were as professional a group of politicians as ever held office then I agree with you. You have to look to Lincoln for a president who was a non-professional politician (he served only one term in the House) and I know how much you admire him.:^)

Besides having a government of amateur politicians would in actuality mean that it would be a playground for rich men even more than it is. Since only a rich man could serve without a salary poor amateurs could never suceed.

So, how many of your typical telling points do you think you just made? I'll leave to other readers to decide whether you've made a point at all. Of course, your insinuation that Congress and the other two branches of government serve without salaries is pretty lame. You've done a much better job of showing yourself to be an imbecile than I had time to do today.

Thanks so much.
