Who would want to be in Congress?

[d-ray657]

I have read a lot of terrific ideas on this board from a variety of participants. Of course, Congress has been a favorite punching bag. Most people here think Congress does a lousy job. We all probably think we could do better.

Here are my questions:

How many here would actually want to hold a seat in Congress?

Would you be concerned about the number of compromises you would have to make to be elected? Or do you you think you could get elected with no compromises?

How long do you think you could avoid the seductive feeling of power and the effect of Lobbyists fawning all over you?

How long would it take you to get convinced that, however powerful your position might appear, you are really powerless to get something worthwhile enacted before it was watered down and perverted by political maneuvering?

Why would anyone else want to have that job?

Am I a cynic?
