Paul Against Career Politicians

According to Rand Paul's website, he is joining Sen. DeMint's call for the return of the guaranteed-to-fail constitutional amendment to limit Congressional terms:

Rand Paul supports term limits as a means of reining in career politicians and pork barrel spending. He supports the legislation introduced by U.S. Senate Republicans Jim DeMint, Tom Coburn, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and Sam Brownback to amend the Constitution to limit terms.

Yes, boo on career politicians! Quick question, what do you call a guy who serves 18 years in Congress, runs for Senate once and President twice? Oh yeah, Dad.

(Side note: Name that Tennessee Rep who has served 12 terms in Congress and is running for a 13th, yet voted in favor of the 1995 Constitutional Amendment to enact term limits...)
