As a rule, 70 or so is a good time for politicians to leave office.

I generally agree but I still believe that Congress should be subject to term limits. It is not fair that the rest of the country suffer under the rule of people over which they have no say in electing.

I kind of disagree there. Every district should have a right to elect who it wants. That is the essence of representative democracy. I used to support term limits—now I’m much more ambivalent.

I disagree. We are the term limits. People sometimes have to see how bad things can get. I don’t want people working for me that don’t care about losing their job. Do you think we’d have a chance in hell of stopping this health bill if term limits were in place? Term limits would just mean people would stay asleep politically longer.
