1. Disagree

That isn't the business they're in. They're in the business of enacting laws which protect the interests of
the rich and powerful. aka "The Property Party"

2. Part of the Job is speaking.. It wouldn't hurt them to take a few lessons.
There job is to communicate.. If they had a positive vision for the future, they should be able to speak to this vision and take us there.. Instead the dither around and keep things more the same and give away more to the people who are already richer than rich knows.

3. It is not just the delivery

About half of them appear to be unable to recall pertinent facts and reason logically.

Some of them are really dumb -- how the heck did they get elected.

Palin would be about average in the House of Representatives.

4. "Their" not "there"...and I disagree..
voters elect candidates because they like them, not because they are good public speakers.

Unfortunate but true.
