Rather, it should revolve arond whether their history in terms of their actions, or lack thereof, demonstate and confirm the positions and promises they as hopeful candidates espouse. The American people do not need, or want, any more "elitists" or public officials who, because of accepting campaign contributions from special interests groups are tethered to them if/when they are elected. We the People need candidates who will truly be independent public servants, listen to the people rather than talk, read rather than vote the party line and who chose to serve not to "gain the limelight" but rather to help retake our country and protect its people not their own and their special interests groups pocketbooks. That is one of the problems with our system that need reform. All candidates should receive and be limited to public campaign funds, and there should be term limits on Congress as well as all elected officials.
