TERM LIMITS is the only form of campaign finance reform that this country needs. And it is the only form that will ever work.
All the Bush lovers on this site and across America, including my father, easily forget Bush's promise to uphold the Constitution. And he turns around and says he will sign a campaign finance bill.
The United States that we live in today is not the same country that I was born in and it most certainly not the country that is promised by the Declaration of Independence and it most certainly not the country that is promised by the Constitution of the United States. I want my freedom back and I want the country that is promised by our founding documents. Until the present United States dies, we are not going to be free. Politicians have no intention of ever turning back the clock. Their power, job security, egos and careers depend on it. Until enough Americans recognize that one state has to secede from the union, we face declining freedom and progressive enslavement.
Term limits would be worse and more restrictive our the people's freedoms than this BS that was just passed in the House!
Term limits doesn't limit a politician - it limits who WE THE PEOPLE can vote for. What if we vote in the best Congressman to ever be seated - he leads the Congress, respects the Constitution, and saves kittens from trees and stuff - but suddenly on some arbitrary date I wouldn't be able to vote for him because of some stupid Term Limit law.
Also, Term Limits freakin' guarantee ever politician a lame duck term. A term of office (2 years for House, 6 years for Senate) where they are not accountable to the citizens of their state because they aren't afraid of getting voted out of office in the next election.
Term Limits were discussed in the original constitutional convention and soundly defeated. Are you and the other Term Limits supporters so arrogant to second guess the brilliance of our founding fathers to make such a significant alteration of the Constitution and the electoral process.
I will fight Term Limits at every step because they are destructive to the freedom of the people and an affront to the Constitution.
The answer to today's political problems and excess is not silly ideas like campaign finance reform or term limits. The answer is to elect a Congress that will respect the limits placed upon it by the Constitution. Don't settle for anything less - don't vote for the lesser of two evils just because he has a freakin' (R) next to his name on the ballot. Then hold their feet to the fire - make them follow their oath and to not vote for anything that exceeds the limits of the Constitution.
