The system will never be totally purged. It attracts the political class, and those people can’t be trusted.
Drop your guard at your own peril.
Think about what you just posted...if you take what you posted to its logical endpoint then there is no reason to ever have an election.
Come on...get real...this is just a ploy by the Democrat party to try to bring out its base (and union employees) for the election. After the election results this year, and the beating the Dems take, this proposal wouldn't get 100% support from the Democratic caucus no less get any Republican support.

No, that’s taking it to the extreme. I point out that the system has flaws. There are no perfect governmental systems. The flaw in our system is that it attracts career politicians, not representatives, e.g. Crist, Spector, Castle, etc. And the flaw is magnified by an electorate that is uninformed, and apathetic.
Best case, there will be some career politicans. Worst case, the system will be flooded with them. I think we are living through worst case.
Elections are the only thing that keeps the whole system from collapsing. Now, if we can eliminate a few political elites each cycle, we can get back to a point where there are real representatives in Congress. Not 100%, but more than an handful.
