If this surprises anyone, they haven't been paying attention. It's not the Party. It's the profession. Throw ALL the bums out if you really want things to change.
I have to agree 100%. The single most effective change that we could make for the better to our system of government would be to get rid of professional politicians - from both parties. If you look at what they do in Congress, 70% of their effort seems ultimately devoted to maintaining their power and feathering their nests.
Term limits are definitely the way to go but for that to happen, it will take a grass-roots effort to amend the constitution.
