He who would sacrifice freedom for security deserves neither.

I think there is enough blame to go around both sides of the playground

A good way to achieve this is with term limits. If NO elected official could serve no more than 1 or 2 terms in a life time. We would have what our founding fathers envisioned, a governing body made up of "volunteers" taking a few years off from their "day" jobs to serve their country.[Rant]
The first step in the direction of improving things is to vote out the current crop of incumbents whether Republican or Democrat. Step two would be to replace them with people who look more like the rest of America. We need more Engineers, Plumbers, Truck Drivers, Nurses, School Teachers, Farmers, Waitresses, Snow Plow Operators, and anybody else who works for a living, and fewer Lawyers running the government. We, as voters, need to wake up and lose the "my guy is OK because he brings home the bacon. Your guy is the problem." attitude. The longer they're in office, the further away they get from real people. I'm not necessarily in favor of term limits legislation, but the longer we keep sending 95% or more incumbents back year after year, the better term limits look to me.
