Vorpal Sword

Vorpal Sword I found out today that a member from Philadelphia will be retiring. Her apparent successor put out a press release saying he was the go to guy. Why should a former district office staffer feel they are qualified to do the job? Because they have schmoozed all the right constituents of course. I don't think it's a qualification to have worked in a district office for a member doing all the grunt work. Don't you think successful candidates should have some world experience, that is in the world outside of politics. Being in politics is not a qualification to be a politician or a legislator or a lawmaker whatever you want to call the people that run the government, at least the legislative side.

No, being an insider is not a qualification. Of course (Lynn Swann) being an outsider is not necessarily a qualification either.
