True. Think about how long some of these clowns have been in office:

Barney Frank: First elected 1981

Nancy Pelosi: First elected 1987

Joe Biden: First elected 1972

Charley Rangel: First elected 1970

Harry Reid: First elected 1982

Chris Dodd: First elected 1980

The list goes on and on. Most have been in office for at least 20 years.

It’s not just Obama. Incumbents are usually shoo-ins for reelection, despite how bad things get. Voters in most districts have been screwing themselves for at least a generation.

We NEED term limits.

That would take a Constitutional Convention. When you hold a Constitutional Convention you open the Constitution up to all sorts of manipulation. Some could be good, but most would likely be very bad.

What we need is an electorate that will put down the TV remote and the cheesy poofs, get involved and VOTE! We have the power, we just don't use it....what we are seeing now is our own fault...elections have consequences.
