Representing the voters of the area where you live and giving them a voice in the govt. is something that we ALL can and should do. Not just a small group of lawyers who have never done anything else in their lives. You don't need training to be able to cast a vote on behalf of your constituents.
Why on Earth do you think that Bill Nelson or John McCain have some special magical abilities when it comes to representing their state in Congress?
Your analogy is pure "crockett science". Do you REALLY think Ted Cruz or Nancy Pelosi are somehow smarter than you are and that you couldn't do their jobs?
They are nothing but career/lifetime bureaucrats with very little "real world" experience. They live and work in Washington D.C. and get paid by the tax payer.
I'm not impressed. Nor should you be.

I'm sorry but that is just a ridiculous notion. Sure a randomly intelligent person could run a small town or learn how to represent at the state level, but even that is going to take time. Thinking some random joe is going to just walk into office and be able to help run the govt and create laws with zero experience is just retarded,.
It's just like someone isn't going to walk into the porn industry and instantly make money or even know how to run a website. You seriously can't be so sense as to think there is no skill or profession involved when it comes to politics.
Added to this we've already had this topic covered before and I brought up the giant gapping hole in your argument. If we only had a bunch of one term elected officials, they wouldn't have to give a fuck what you thought of them. They would just lie their way into office take care of their special,interest and not give a flying fuck about getting elected again. Hell most probably wouldn't give a shit if they did the job right or wrong because they are out the next time around anyway.
Your idea is the same as most of the libertarian ideas, which is not biased on reality and wishful thinking at best.
The issue is money in politics, not how long someone has served.
