Age restrictions for Congress?

[The Conservative]

That's a given.

Without K St. I could be convinced to soften my position on the term limits as well

Unfortunately, they go hand in hand

Not me, K Street is the tip of the iceberg.

Special interests buying the politicians with campaign contributions and giving them kushy jobs when they are done in the public sector, if the politician does good job getting them what they want, that is the problem, and term limits does not solve it. Nothing wrong with career politicians, if they are doing a good job, you guys use the term as if it's automatically a dirty word, but it isn't.

Experience is not a bad thing, it's like you guys hate experience or something, because the only thing term limits does is ensure that your politicians are less experienced, and what good is that? What kind of logic is "less experience means you are better at your job, the more experience you have, the worse you get at your job"? That doesn't hold true in any line of work, what makes you think it's true in politics? You don't like the job some experienced politicians do, so the plan is throw the baby out with the bathwater? Half baked reasoning.

Experienced politicians are not the same as corrupt...which is what we have now.

Right, which is why term limits doesn't fix the problem, at all. Term limits only addresses the experience level of politicians, and does not address how corrupt they are.
