Term limits are good, but on the other hand, sometimes you find someone who actually gets it.
I wouldn’t want to give up Senator Mitch McConnell. No, I am not from Kentucky, but I appreciate it when he Mitchslaps Harry Reid. He does it as no one else can.
But when someone goes over the line, it wouldn’t be bad if it were possible to fire them right away.
I don't know how we can do that if our own leadership won't step up to the plate.
The question now is, why won't they?
Speculation time (and there folks for more learned in this than I);
The phrase, entangling treaties come to mind, but on a smaller scale. Our senators and representatives are so tangled up with special interests, agreements and deals with each other for pork and just down right corruption to be "throwing stones in glass houses" at those who cross the line. If they try to prosecute, they end up prosecuted.
Simply put, they are NOT on our side any more, they're on their side.
How do you fix that.(open question)
“Term limits are good, but on the other hand, sometimes you find someone who actually gets it.”
And if they get it, then they better make sure the voters know. If the voters know that they “get it”, there should be no problem getting themselves re-elected. Would you agree?
“But when someone goes over the line, it wouldn’t be bad if it were possible to fire them right away.”
Recall or prosecution. If nothing else, view the term limits as an incentive for the elected official to stay in line.
