flstf, I'm not saying that the system works great or that all politicians are highly qualified officials expertly exercising their duties. I'm just saying I'd rather have a professional politician than some green, inexperienced fellow with undefined "leadership qualities" running the country.
We have a pretty decent system of progressively professionalized elected bodies that does a great job of sorting the wheat from the chaff. It's sort of like the baseball minor league system; you start with school boards, then city councils, then county boards, then state legislatures, then state consitutional positions (governor, treasurer, etc.), then Congress and the Presidency.
I want noobs to figure out how to be a politician in city councils and county boards before being elected to Congress.
