Depends if they were a complete moron or not. Just because someone 'mostly' agrees with my views doesn't mean they're also not completely retarded.

I think if we were to get rid of all the "good ole boys" then it might make a difference, but with how DC works, the new and naive senators and reps are chewed up and spit back to be reformed into what is expected on Cap Hill.

What kind of experience would you consider relevant and valid?

Apart from being sure that they are being truthful when it comes to a voting platform (i.e. they say they will never vote in higher taxes and their track record proves this), do you have another reason why they would need a track record? Can you elaborate?

No, because it seems like they would so easily be swayed by petty corruption. At least people who have seen things go down before know what to expect and know what they can shrug off.

I can trust a career anything, but yeah politicians tend to be vastly one of the least moral, corrupt professions in this country, even more so than lawyers
I'd rather hire a engineer who is a practicing PE. Or really, any scientist that has a objective track record. Who says you need to be a governor or senator to be the President?

Totally agree with this. Which apparently doesn't mean I think you are smart. But most of the people that are on my side of issues (generally the liberal side) are pretty stupid about their reasons for getting there, I would take a well reasoned argument from someone I disagree with over mindless echoing of talking heads with no idea of what their opinion means.

You need to have leadership skills and be able to compromise. A business type leader maybe would be ok, a CEO type position.

A President without experience, can't get anything done. Case and point: Obama.

Obama had at least some political experience- he was a Senator after all.

I would vote for them but the media interests would never allow them to see the light of day. Look what they do to every political outsider.

Yes.
I'd support someone with military experience or someone with professional experience (doctor, lawyer, accountant) who was integral in establishing legislation.

Some yes, but he couldn't pull in the favors and support that a longstanding politician would have access too after having spent a large amount of time in Washington. Like every other industry, it's who you know that gets things done.
