I’ve never liked term limits. Term limits means someone that doesn’t live in my district doesn’t like who the people in my district elected but that someone won’t move into my district to vote against him/her.

The best term limit tool is at the ballot box by the people that do the voting.

Yes but your current ‘term limits’ are clearly not working.

While I'd like to be comfortable agreeing with that sentiment, the seemingly forever presence of individuals like Robert "KKK" Byrd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John "Maverick" McCain and Ted "the swimmer" Kennedy tend to disprove it.

McCain really should not be mentioned in the same sentence as the rest of those, as I believe he has America's best interest at heart, but wrong is still wrong, and too long is too long!

Two three year house terms, two five year senate terms, two four year Presidential terms would help keep the career politicians at bay.

And please, PLEASE, STOP VOTING FOR LAWYERS! Their sole purpose is to pass laws that cause you to need them constantly.

I'd agree, if it were not so painfully obvious by now that

1. Other things being even remotely equal, the incumbent always wins reelection - and incumbents know it. And once an incumbent really believes that, he should have been voted out office long ago, for all the good he will be. And Democratic incumbents arrive in Washington knowing that.

2. Even if you think that your congressman is the fairest of ten thousand, there are about a quarter of a million adults in a congressional district. Meaning that there are about 24 other people who are also the fairest of ten thousand. You can't seriously believe that your congressman is the wisest and most public-spirited person in your district. Half of them are Democrats!

But the sheeple just aren't smart enough to realize that name recognition and power plus pork are not the only reasons to vote for stooges. I offer Michigan as an example. For some reasons the constituents in these gun owner areas vote liberal. Probably a name recognition, union and voter rigging thing as Levin and team always win.
It's a shame and term limits overrule the dumbed down voting although it can work the other way for desirable representatives that are forced to leave i.e., Casperson.

True, but so far, the only WORKING term limit is a pine box....
