support these four issues -- obey the Constitution, cut taxes, reduce government control of lives of Americans, and support term limits

What do term limits have to do with anything? If my representative is good on the other three, why kick them out?(voting is term limits, however it's seldom used, why?, I don't know)

Now, if you want to impose some limit on dynastic empires like Kennedy for instance, I'm with you. "No stinking relative of any long-term stinking Senator shall be allowed as a stinking candidate for anything in this stinking state, um, er, ah,er.", for instance.

As I said, speaking as Ben Franklin a week ago in Raleigh, “Congressman are like bananas. After a short time they go funny, draw flies, and need to be thrown out of the House.”

Look at the history of indictments and convictions. The longer they stay, the more likely they are to be corrupt. Or, look at the tax-and-spend behavior. The National Taxpayers Union has done excellent research showing that the longer they stay in office, the more spending they vote for — both Republicans and Democrats.

Charlie Rangel should be the poster child for term limits.

Term limits are the very most important thing. Once a candidate is elected he makes sure to put in place systems that will get him reelected. If nothing else, we need term limits.
