No, I think we should fire every single career politician in office

Not a stupid idea. The realm of politics was NEVER meant to be a career
especially in the federal level. People holding political positions
should spend more time in there state working, talking, ect with the
people they are supposed to be representing then in Washington DC.
It isn't stupid as a goal, but the idea tht you can simply remove everyone
from their seats of power is silly. One of our *really* big problems is
that power is self-perpetuating and there is an enormous investment of the
powerful in maintaining the status quo that put them in power.
Look what happened to term limits. Who is going to vote himself out of
office? See, it was tried and it failed.
