Love the word - "Careerist"....
I was reading some article somewhere and it was brought up about how so many Dem's lack backbone and the person being interviewed replied that was because these type of politicians are really "careerists". How applicable. These jerks are more concerned with keeping their day jobs that they sell us out every frigging day.

What is sad is that if they would focus on doing the best for the American people, they'd find out how much farther that would take them, then being tied to their idiotic "career".

3. Term limits for their senior staffers too or at least shuffle them
around so no one gets that cozy.. I used to work for a coproation that moved management people around every 2-3 years. It sucked to get transfereed, but I understood why they did it. They did not want the managemenet team at any one location to get too "comfy". They also did not allow intercompany marriage...if a couple married,one had to resign.

2. I think Bertrand Russell said...
something to the effect that politicians are concerned less with the differences between themselves than they are the occupation that they share.
