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.
