The problem (as I see it) with the "people who have been working hard for many years, down in the trenches, doing the tough political work," is that the motivation necessary for those many years of wallowing in unsavory nastiness is in itself a mark of Cain.

Who would willingly suffer such ignominy? One must either be an egregious fanatic (in a political sense - which means that one's obsession is concerned with achieving governmental power, directly or indirectly, to compel obedience from people otherwise unwilling to do one's bidding) or a calculatingly exploitative thieving booger who seeks political power because he wants to make it "pay off" in some materially advantageous manner.

Neither type of person makes a very good neighbor, and neither can clear-headedly be trusted with public office by any sane, reasonable, actively thinking individual.

Consider the notion that the *BEST* possible thing to do to such people is to "knock them off their feet and throw all their hard work away."

"The fanatic is not really a stickler to principle. He embraces a cause not primarily because of its justness or holiness but because of his desperate need for something to hold onto." -- Eric Hoffer

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but it can/will open the door for RINOs to come in, and because of name recognition, the things they do/say that are not what you or I might consider to be Conservative in nature will be ignored. I know, not all Republicans are Conservatives and not all Conservatives are Republican.

I would like to see all politicans, of both parties, swept out of office every 10 years or so. Most of our politicans, of both parties, care more about being a politician than about representing you or I. They can talk about how they do stuff on behalf of us, for us, etc., but it's a bunch of b.s.
