Very good points Jess!  Term limitations are a MUST!  Like Jackie and msMarieh agreed -- if they spend all their careers in politics, then what do they really know/understand about what the rest of us in the 'real' world are dealing with.   They should be expected to actually WORK for a part of their lives before they can run for office, and then they are limited on how many terms that they can run.  I'm all for it if they want to go back to the 'real world' and work for a set number of years and then re-compete for a political office, but really need to ensure that they work in the real world for some time between stints in office.  Politics is not a career, it is a duty that is to be completed to the best of abililties and then return to the working class to deal with the outcomes of the decisions made.
