They worked just great. For instance, term limits got rid of a lot of jerks as well as good guys in California. That made room for more radicals than ever before. They attacked your gun rights worse than ever before; and installed a power crazed governor (in more ways than one) who signed those antigun bills due to blackmail from his own party over corruption charges dealing with power, and who will now pass, unobstructed, huge tax increases because that energy problem is costing $$$$$$$$$$$$. And why? Because they can!

And on the National level, term limits got rid of just ONE. But not in the way you'd like them to. It got rid of him (Tom Foley) due to backlash over his lawsuit that overturned national term limits. And what did Foley's loss prove? That we can beat long-term and powerful incumbents. And even that took dedication and hard work.

And "term limits" only helps if the entrenched creeps's "brother" isn't being prepped to step into his slot by the same corrupting forces who supported his predecessor. What are you prepared to do about THAT issue?

TERM LIMITS is a buzz word. Real reform requires far more than bowing down and obeisance to a single, questionable, and anti-republican tactic!

Term limits will work, if your in a liberal state like Ca. tough shi*, the power hungry politicians need to be restricted by term limits then maybe the true reform minded who will do the job for the country, not themselves will emerge.

Term limits wouldn't be necessary if citizens would just vote smart. The problem is that most Americans have disengaged from the system. We've been played for dupes.

We're pretty much at the point where we either have to form a viable party dedicated to preserving constitutional principles or we have to start shooting liberals until we gain a clear majority. </sarcasm>
