Term limits are the same as campaign finance contribution limits. They both stifle free speech. What do you have against the 1st Amendment?

Will you stop repeating your rant? Term Limits is an acknowledgement that incumbency gives office holders insurmountable advantages against challengers.

Once you can bribe the public with tax money, it is d@mned hard to pry you out of office because the Democrat free loaders will keep voting for you.

Such parasite enablers will destroy any nation if they are not controlled somehow. "Term Limits" is a pretty tame control, if you ask me.

I will not, because it happens to be 100% true. Got a problem with the truth? Why?

I agree 100%. So instead of attempting to restrict freedom of speech, why not focus on the job itself, and work for an amendment that would make being a federally elected public servant a lot closer to jury duty - make it so that it's not something a pol would WANT to do as a career. As I pointed out previously, George Washington didn't WANT to be president - it was an imposition - a hardship even, but he believed it to be his civic duty.

Perhaps if we got back to that, we could effectively discourage these guys from becoming career pols.
