Quote:Hate to break it to you, but yes "serving" in public office is a duty and service, the same way that serving in the armed forces is.  Term limits much like we have at the Executive Branch would certainly help change things.  Just take a look at how long so many Senators and especially Representatives have been in office.  Corrine "go gata" Brown has been a "representative" for over 10 years.

 

Being in government should not be a "hobby" for anyone.  What I'm saying is that it also should not be a life-long career.  Is Corrine "go gata" Brown "well to do"?  (She might be now, but what about when she first went to Washington)?  Is someone like Marco Rubio a "rich aristocrat"?

 

Serving in Congress, like serving in the military, is a job. Should being a doctor not be a life-long career? Why should that be different? Or would you rather be represented by people like me or you; many seem to think anyone can just walk in off the street and be a good Congressman/woman. But people want to complain that "those politicians" don't know what they are doing.

 

Feel free to run against Corrine Brown any time. I'm sure you know what's best for the people in her district.

 

Any specific reason you mentioned Brown but not Ander Crenshaw?
