‘I do have problems with the term limits crowd.’
The Permanent Political Class is what has gotten the country in the disastrous shape it’s in today. The solution is not to send the architects of the catastrophe back to DC to fix their own mess. Insanity is doing the same thing & expecting different results. To get different results, the Permanent Political Class must be electorally decimated.
Oh you mean like Madison? Like Jefferson? Like Jesse Helms?
Grow up. There are good representatives and bad. Our job is to make the distinctions based upon performance and not just tenure.
Amen! As in part two of my tagline...
In addition, it should be nearly impossible to exchange political donations for favorable legislative treatment. All donations should be anonymous; you can't sell influence if you don't know who is buying.
I've heard some say that all donors and recipients should be publicly identified, so everyone knows who is backing who and why. That would help if two thirds to three quarters of the populace was not too engrossed in American Idle or what celebrity outdanced the other celebrities to notice, and if the lamestream media would fairly and accurately cover that news. but you know neither will change.
You should have the right to donate any amount to anyone you want; that is freedom. But you should not be able to demand certain result from them in exchange; that is criminal. < /rant >
